The typical public conflict between Black people and Ashkenazi Jews (the White ones) goes like this: A prominent Black person expresses an idea common amongst Black people but offensive to White Jews. The Media immediately rise up against that Black person in near unison, calling them an “anti-Semite.” They then showcase various personalities, Black and non-Black, summarily declaring how “ridiculous” the Black person’s statement was. In addition to the media campaign, strings get pulled beneath the surface to compromise this Black person’s professional standing and economic wellbeing. Under such pressure, the Black person either reneges on his or her statement or ceases to emphasize his or her point. If the person remains in an influential position, he or she is often urged to take a trip to a European concentration camp to learn more about the Ashkenazi Holocaust during World War II. These situations tend to shut the Black person up but they never prompt a robust discussion or include explanations of why the Black person was wrong; it’s generally assumed that the Black person had views so alien to what should be obvious that everyone else in the general public is unified on the underlying facts; the Black person was a social aberration. But, why? This approach by a dominant society is racist in that it simply dismisses views commonly held by Black people. A society that respected us would ask, “why do they believe this?” Similar to American politics, which bases its dynamics solely on White sentiment, it is customary in America to completely dismiss Black people’s ideas in regards to Jewish people. In politics America measures its political interests on a scale ranging between Conservative Whites’ and Liberal Whites; it axiomatically excludes the Black outlook. This systemic disregard places the political “middle” further to the right than if America were to consider Black people candid and uninfluenced views. Black people’s statements and gestures of curiosity, like Kyrie Irving’s, Kanye West’s, Nick Cannon’s and DeSean Jackson’s are summarily dismissed as “ridiculous” without explanation; any society that took Black people seriously would explain to us what exactly is wrong with statements like, 1. “the ancient Hebrews were Black,” 2. “the ancient Hebrews were not White people,” 3. “Jews control Banking,” and, 4. “Jews run Hollywood.”
For America to have ever been good, you have to ignore the Black experience
To demonstrate White Americans’ axiomatic disregard of Black people ask yourself the question; “when was America ever a good country?” Compelled by social pressures, we Black people often work solely within White consideration to avoid conflict. However, amongst ourselves we speak candidly; even sellouts and uncle Toms in solely Black settings admit America has yet to become good. To call any history of this country “good” you have to do like American politics and completely dismiss consideration of the Black experience; even today. Right now, I live in terror, not of being killed by law enforcement, I accepted this reality as a child, but of having my character murdered by the American Information Machine after I stop breathing. I’ve done better than average in America. If you consider that I’ve transcended far more adversity than White America’s lowest social tier, I am amongst America’s greatest exceptionalism. Yet if I were wrongfully killed by a police officer America’s information machine would systematically work to minimize the greatness of my story in favor of negative press. The American information machine, law enforcement, government leadership and media, systemically cover for America’s racist misdeeds by sacrificing Black people’s character. For instance, media portray Breonna Taylor, the woman killed in her own home by police in a botched raid, as a woman who “dated a drug dealer.” Well, she transcended that seemingly negative trait by breaking up with that drug dealer and getting a new, honest and gainfully employed man. Yet rather than celebrate her growth, the American information machine cashed her transcendence in to shield America’s eyes from its inherent racist tendencies. American media systemically sacrificed Breonna Taylor’s character by editing reality to reflect a bad, inaccurate representation of who she was. News stations, from Conservative to Liberal, emphasized Breonna Taylor’s ex-boyfriend when discussing her murder. It only began going into depth on her new boyfriend when explaining why charges against him shooting an officer were dropped. What the American information machine did was bad, and makes this country bad, unless you’re willing to disregard Briana Taylor’s life-improving choice in romantic partners. There’s no way around it; what the American information machine did to Breonna Taylor was bad; this is a reflection of our nation’s character. Breonna Taylor is just one recent example of America being a bad country. American history is a 16th century-to-current ledger of evil deeds towards Black people with an ongoing list of new entries. To see America as “good” at any point in its history one has to discount these ills and the whole Black experience. I challenge any White person to make a case for America being good in light of its treatment to Black people.
Sadly, Ashkenazi Jews, in the same spirit, factor the Black opinion out when prominent Black people make statements concerning White Jews; they simply use White power to enforce what they feel is right. A sufficiently confident religious group should be able to explain their religion in relation to the statements being made, however, rather than attempt a dialogue, they lean on the existing White power system and exercise their status as social superiors over social inferiors. If I were to explain the righteousness of Black views here and it were to gain attention, the American information machine would condemn me without ever making the corrective information available to the public. In fact, the public at large wouldn’t require the loudest White people on this subject to demonstrate that they understand the subject at all. Here I will do what America consistently avoids: I will respect Black views by explaining why many Black people hold ideas summarily dismissed as “anti-Semitic” by media. I am a Black man and I 100% agree with Black people having the ability to hold and express these views. I also feel we are entitled to a peer-to-peer discussion regarding our understandings about Ashkenazi Jews. They should be able to guide us to the touchstones of their ideology that render Black opinions beyond the value of consideration. By discussing commonly held Black views regarding Ashkenazi Jews and giving these ideas context, I will demonstrate that Black people holding these ideas aren’t simply “ridiculous” and there is logic behind these notions no matter how right or wrong they may be. The four statements I will address here are: 1. “The ancient Hebrews were not White people,” 2. “Jews control Banking,” 3. “The ancient Hebrews were Black” and, 4. “Jews run Hollywood.” Full disclosure: I do not, as the Hebrew Israelites believe, feel that West Africans were the Jews of ancient times. I also don’t feel the Ancient Jews were White. Based on my research, I feel the people in Palestine today are the thoroughly-Islam-converted true descendants of the Ancient Hebrews of ancient times. In other words, the people in Palestine today are the people who have always been there.
The Ancient Hebrews Were not White
When one says “Jews,” we think of the White ones. This is just like in my career, for when I run out of options for assistants and ask my producer to hire one for me, it has never been anything other than a White male. As a practice I only hire women, however, to avoid them mindlessly choosing a White male I must specify that I’m looking to hire a woman. In the same way, “Jew” means the White ones. Sephardic and Oriental Jews, which have a far longer verifiable history, are regarded as sub-categories. For the younger sect of a religion to render its older sects as subs, means something non-religious compromised the order. Historically, West African Jewry came by way of the Moors in Spain, who, unlike Europeans, did not persecute Jewish people. They allowed them to live in Moorish society, openly practice their religion and hold prominent positions in government. Upon expulsion from Europe, Black Muslims and the minority of Jews living in Al-Andalus (modern day Spain) were violently thrust into the interior of Africa, where both groups proselytized Africans. Those Africans left enough traces and signs of practice of the Hebrew religion in West Africa for today’s African Americans to view as evidence of Ancient Hebrew presence. When combined with Bible interpretation a great case for West Africans being the original Hebrews is plausible, especially to the less inquisitive or dogmatic.
The Hebrew Israelite movement is older than Zionism
The Black Hebrew Israelites and Ashkenazi Jews both use the same document to substantiate the claim they descend from the ancient Hebrews, the Bible. Yes! The same document that justifies the Black Hebrew Israelites ideology, justifies Zionism, and the roots of both ideologies go back to nearly the same time. In fact, Frank Cherry, a Hebrew and Yiddish speaking Black man in America, arguably, founded his church a decade before Theodore Herzl, the Father of Zionism, wrote the book that introduced Zionism to Ashkenazi Jews throughout Europe. William Saunders, another founder of the Hebrew Israelite movement (unrelated to Cherry), began publicly making the claim Black people were descendants of the 12 tribes in 1893. Prior to “Der Judenstaat,” (The Jewish State), Ashkenazi Jews did not widely feel entitled to Palestine nor did they widely express belief that they were actual descendants of the Hebrews of ancient times. However, Black people in America were already expressing that they were the true descendants of the Ancient Israelites.
How a human group applies its new technology reveals its character and what its members feel its current challenges are. Black people in the United States are no different. After being divested of our old spiritual systems, America imposed Christianity upon us to make us docile and expect ghosts to solve our problems. Once America repealed laws banning Black people from reading, Black people began exploring Christianity intellectually, which led to some learning about Christianity’s roots, Judaism. Upon encountering this new technology, many Black people immediately refined this intellectual tool to address their main problem, White people. The Hebrew Israelites essentially developed a form of Judaism that engenders a mentality to defend against White people’s evil deeds; the interpretation essentially made Whites evil enough for Black people eliminate reservation towards defending themselves from them. A similar phenomenon can be seen with Islam. When Black Americans received this new technology, they immediately created a version of Islam that designated White people as “devils,” thereby countering Christian ideology, where Jesus, God, and the Angels were all White, making White people the people of God and irreproachable.
Zionism and modern racism have roots in the same place…at the same time
The roots of Zionism extend back to modern Racism’s roots and they come from the exact same place, Göttingen University in Germany. Isaac Marcus Jost was the first person since 75AD to attempt to write a non-theological based history of the Jews. Jost went to the same school at the same time racism’s pioneers were developing the racial categories we go by today, Caucazoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid. The cadre of men who I feel invented and propagated modern racism taught and studied on the same campus at the same time the first Ashkenazi Jew who wrote a modern history of the Jewish people. This explains why Ashkenazis behave like White supremacists in Palestine. In fact, while the notion of race was solidifying, Ashkenazis in a movement called the Haskalah, lobbied German academia hard to be considered a branch of the “Caucazoid race.” It was only after being denied over and over again, that they begin to claim to be descendants of the original Hebrews and therefore not Caucasian or, “White” in European regard; they didn’t make the cut.
While the White Jewish movement may seem more significant than the Black one, we must consider that Western society is devised to elevate White at the expense of Black. Ashkenazi Jews were persecuted throughout Europe but, based on Theodore Herzl’s contemporary description of that persecution, it wasn’t nearly as bad as how the West treated Blacks worldwide, most especially in the United States. Theodore Herzl described Jewish persecution in Europe as,
“Attacks in parliaments, in assemblies, in the press, in the pulpit, in the streets, on journeys—for example, their exclusion from certain hotels—even in places of recreation, become daily more numerous. The forms of persecutions varying according to the countries and social circles in which they occur. In Russia, imposts are levied on Jewish villages; in Rumania, a few persons are put to death; in Germany, they get a good beating occasionally; in Austria Anti-Semites exercise terrorism over all public life; in Algeria, there are travelling agitators; in Paris the Jews are shut out of the so-called best social circles and excluded from clubs. Shades of Anti-Jewish feeling are innumerable.”
This would have been heaven to Blacks in America, who were regularly lynched, including women and children. It was not uncommon for live Black men to experience White men cutting their penises off, or White men cutting live fetuses from Black Mothers’ stomachs. They’d burn Black men alive and rape their wives in their presence before killing them. Theodore Herzl never described anything like this happening to Jews. He felt being “forced” into finance yet excluded from higher society was enough persecution to warrant Ashkenazi separatism. This separatism, coincidentally, followed the same course of Action European men have and continue to take; that is, White men fleeing other White men, going to dark people’s territory then killing them off and taking their land. Herzl also described “rich Jews,” a concept that marginally existed amongst Africans throughout the World, post Western domination. “Rich” is a Western value. It is the result of people of a traditionally scarce landscape gaining access to resources then hoarding them out of insecurity. Scarcity naturally causes humans to forsake the collective and individualize. The threat of being without, causes them to hoard resources, which is crude version of being, “rich.” This was a Eurasian-continent-wide phenomenon scarcely found in Africa prior to Arab and European invasion; they were comfortable enough not to be incessantly driven to these extreme behaviors. However, once part of Western society, rich Black people were a rarity.
The Khazars
It is widely believed amongst non-Ashkenazi people that Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of the Khazars, an Eastern European country that existed between the Black and Caspian Seas from the 7th to 10th century. These are areas of high Ashkenazi population today, such as Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Poland, Belarus, etc. The Khazars were said to have converted to Judaism in name, under King Bulan in the 8th century. Long after, King Buhlan’s son, King Obadiah implemented the changes during his reign, changing nominal Jewry to a true conversion. Most Ashkenazis courageous enough to entertain this topic characterize this conversion as sudden; as if the King simply declared his kingdom Jews and everyone suddenly were a product of the centuries-long struggle Ashkenazis have endured. This is disingenuous and a sign that they may not be as certain that they are not descendants of the Khazars as they claim. They also attempt to claim that Khazaria is fictional. Khazaria did not make many written records, nor build enduring homes with city-states and capitals having numerous stone building and records. The notion that they didn’t exist because they didn’t behave like other early European states and leave relatable remnants is absurd. Khazaria was such a formidable state that it served as a buffer between Christian Byzantium and Muslim Caliphates. Byzantium even formed an alliance with the Khazars when King Leo III sent an embassy to Khazar and married his son to the Khazarian Princess Tzitzak. After Tzitzak’s conversion to Christianity, the couple would be known as Constantine V and Irene. The couple’s son, Leo IV was known as “Leo IV the Khazar,” which shows that the Byzantine Empire knew of and respected a place they knew as Khazaria. To dismiss this history without forthright investigation and discussion is disingenuous.
In the 10th century the Rus (whom later became the RUS-sians, or Russians) conquered the Khazars, burning towns, absorbing many and displacing others. The pattern of displacement follows the only path devout Jews escaping persecution and avoiding conversion to other religions could have gone. To the East were the five tribes, the Keraites, Khamag Mongol, Naiman, Mergid and Tatar. These confederated tribes were eventually unified by Genghis Khan to form the Mongolian Empire. Genghis Khan considered Jews and Muslims “slaves.” He also disallowed circumcision and forbade Kosher eating. Jews certainly wouldn’t have gone East. To the South were the Caliphates demanding conversion to Islam. To the West was the Byzantine Empire demanding conversion to Christianity. To the northwest was Dark Age Europe and what would eventually become the Holy Roman Empire. The Khazars likely spread Northwest. The later expansion of Mongolian territory likely pushed many of them further West into Hungary, Belarus, Poland, etc. where they would have stopped before the Holy Roman Empire. Nearly all of the original Zionists leaders descend from either Rus territory or on the outskirts avoiding other religious territories; most of them were born there. The absolute vast majority of Zionism’s pioneers as well as Israel’s Prime Ministers and Presidents were born in Eastern Europe where the Khazars likely ended up. Of all of Israel’s Presidents, three, Yitzhak Navon, Moshe Katsav and possibly Reuven Rivlin, were 1st or 2nd generation out of Eastern Europe. Every Israeli Prime Minister including Benjamin Netanyahu, with the exception of one, was either born in Eastern Europe or 1st Generation out of Eastern Europe. The one exception is Naftali Bennett, who is 2nd generation out of Eastern Europe. The leaders of the Zionist movement, from its inception to its implementation were primarily from Eastern Europe. The following is a list of the leading Ashkenazi people important to the Zionist movement and where they descend from.

The family lineage of these Israeli leaders indicates they descend from Eastern Europe however, Ashkenazis in the 19th Century began saying they were direct descendants of Israel. The Rhineland Hypothesis, the rationale that Ashkenazis migrated to Central Europe after the fall of the 2nd temple in 70CE, then migrated to Eastern Europe 50,000 strong in the year 1500CE is unsupported by any independent non-Ashkenazi scientist. There is no record of large groups of Jewish people migrating through any towns on the journey. Heinrich Graetz didn’t spend much time on the subject in his comprehensive History of the Jews and today, despite Arthur Koestler’s The 13th Tribe and Shlomo Sand’s “The Invention of the Jewish People” being around since the 1970s and 1990s respectively, there are no counter claims or comprehensive explanations of the Rhineland Theory readily available.
Israeli law has prevented Israelis from freely genetically testing in the past; it’s not clear if they still do. Israel does, however, disallow commercial genetic tests like 23 and me, etc. Studies published on the NIH website conclude that genetic sequencing indicates Ashkenazi people come from Khazar territory, Iran and Turkey. These are all legitimate reasons to question Ashkenazis’ notion that they are native to Palestine.
Many Ashkenazis, including a Supreme Court Justice bear the name Kagen. Coincidentally, “Kagen” was the title of the Khazarian King. How did 50,000 Jews migrating from Central to Eastern Europe in 1500CE fall so heavily under the influence of an empire conquered centuries earlier? According to Jewish scholars, the name “Cohen” is a rendition of the name, Kagan. The name Kagen is the same as people in the West having the last name “King.”
Many Ashkenazi names and words contain the expression Tz in them, just like the Khazarian Princess, Tzitzak, who became a Byzantian Queen. It seems “tz” was a popular sound to the Khazars and it is very common in Ashkenzai words and names, like Katz, Graetz, Rosenkrantz, Haaretz, Schwartz, Kutzman, Yitzhak, Leibovitz. Other words contain the same two letter expression; Chutzpah, Eretz Israel, Kibbutz, Schnitzel. Again, I’m not making the case that any of this means Ashkenazi Jews descend from the Khazars and not from the original Hebrews, rather I’m legitimizing Black people’s curiosity; I’m demonstrating that it is not simply “ridiculous” to believe that White Jews are not descendants of the biblical Jews.
The Jews control banking.
Claims that the Jews control banking have never been proven or disproven, however, “control” is a relative term, especially in the Black mind. Of the 4470 FDIC insured banks in America, Black people own or “control” fifteen. Yes, fifteen! That’s just .3%. One of those “Black owned” banks is chaired by a White man with a “tz” in his name. To people who compose 12% of the country’s population, yet .3% of its banks, another group being an even lower percentage of the population yet controlling a significant number of banks can be viewed as “control” of the whole industry, especially when a member of that group controls one of our mere 15 banks. Jews certainly control a lot more of their economic destiny than Black people who, still today, experience significant discrimination in banking. Many these discriminatory banks are run by Ashkenazis. To us, having your own banks be so plentiful is “control.” In my lifetime there have been eight Federal Reserve Chairmen. Half of them have been Jewish and none have been Black. In fact, there has never been a Black Federal Reserve Chairman, which makes Jewish control of world money infinite more than Black.
For the first 10 years of my film career, with very few exceptions, I was the only Black person in the room. To regular Black America being hired to work on sets gave me the reputation of a producer. My Grandmother was so averse to consideration that I legitimately worked in film that she went to her grave having that impression I worked in porn. In the ‘hood, no one believed I worked in show business until I started getting them tickets to be in the studio audience at tv shows. Although at the time not even a Production Assistant, the lowest rank on a film set, people in the ‘hood stopped calling me “Chronic Ron,” the guy who sold weed, to, “Hollywood Ron,” the guy who “ran” the film industry. Seeing me walk freely into a studio as they stood in line to get in showed them that I had really gotten my break. They immediately began saying I “ran the film industry.” America has taught marginalized people that beneficial things are not for them; they are seen by us as solely for others. Not having an inside look, it is easy to see any accessible person involved with untouchable industries, as being “in control of it.” Adding to this train of thought, industry insiders tend to embellish their roles when talking to outsiders. I recall a friend of mine who owned a store at in South Central Los Angeles at Crenshaw and Vermont. The Jewish merchant who collected cash loan payments told me he “ran the bank.” To someone like me who didn’t know much about banking, he was as important as Ben Bernanke, the Fed chair at the time. To people unfamiliar with industries, anyone within it seems prominent within that industry. Media often portray low level gang member and often ones held in low regards in their own circles as top gang members. If a Hells Angel “hangaround,” meaning a person seeking “full patch” membership, gets busted committing a crime, media don’t distinguish and will simply call him an “member of Hells Angels. Nightclubs in Hollywood usually have many investors, from major contributors to people who may put in $80,000. Each and every one of those people tell the women in the club that they are the “owner” and the women treat them as if they are owners. We often party at mansions in the Hollywood hills. Most of the time, they are Airbnb rentals, where four-or-five guys pool their money and pay the exorbitant rent for a weekend. At these parties, every one of those men tell the women who attend that they “are the owner” and those women believe them. My point is this; from the outside looking in, people with access will always look like they control what seems untouchable. For most prosperous American instutions, including banking, Black people are on the outside looking in. As just mentioned, Ashkenazi Jews are often the interface between Black business and banking. Jews were fundamental in Black Wallstreet and often give Black people access to Banking when a non-Ashkenazi White men won’t. To us, this looks like “controlling banking.” Most Black people haven’t calculated Jewish involvement in banking but do understand them to be heavily involved. The pre-emanate names in banking’s past, like Phillip and Robert Lehman, or, the Lehman Brothers, Marcus Goldman and Samuel Sachs, or, Goldman Sachs, Abraham Kuhn and Solomon Loeb, or, Kuhn Loeb, were all Ashkenazi Jews and provide good reasoning for believing Jews run banking. Oh! And let’s not forget the biggest name in banking history, the Rothschilds, were Ashkenazi Jews.
But Ashkenazi Jews, whenever a Black person links them to banking, act oblivious to why they would draw such a connection. They, without discussion or context, call anti-Semitism, then rally a guilty White America and obsequious other groups against that Black person; there’s never a counter-argument. This wreaks of disingenuousness. However, any Black person expressing these views is merely repeating the words of the Father of Zionism. Theodore Herzl himself said;
“We (the Jewish People) have attained pre-eminence in finance, because mediaeval conditions drove us to it.” “The same process (marginalization and persecution) is being repeated. We are again being forced into finance…”
So, the notion that Ashkenazi Jews are preeminent in, or, “control” finance is completely valid and deserves a discussion, especially since Black people are merely repeating the words of the Father of Zionism. It is lack of empathy, that is, the inability to recognize powerless people’s interpretation of power, that causes America to simply attack Black people for saying “Jews run banking.” Not explaining the discrepancy shows that America doesn’t respect us or consider us intelligent. OR, perhaps, it’s all just a scheme to brainwash America into complicity towards economic domination. The lack of forthright discussion makes most Black people believe the latter.
The Ancient Jews were Black
While Bible mythology blights the inquisitiveness of human beings, we must all recognize that magic didn’t create our species. The only way we can attribute our existence to magic is if we acknowledge that “magic” is simply what’s beyond our comprehension. This world is not accountable to us so the fact we haven’t wrapped our heads around how we got here doesn’t invalidate the world; it just showcases our contemplative ineptitude. Regardless of the Bibles words, the people who became the Jews came from somewhere. My belief, based on record is that they were the Hyksos; nomads from the Arabian Peninsula, who came into Egypt around the 18th century BCE.
Full disclosure: No one truly knows where the Hyksos came from or what happened after they were expelled from Egypt. There will never be a consensus in academia absent any significant discoveries. However, for a religious group to develop a spiritual system with similar stories, a commandment system that reads like an edited version of Ancient Egypt’s (The 42 Negative Confessions), and for their gods to have similar names, indicates the ancient Hebrews learned Egypt’s value system then developed it to suit their new society. Also, Judaea is close to Egypt and while it is also close to Assyria and Babylonia, Nineveh, Mesopotamia and the Hittite Empire, none of those other places had similar spiritual systems to the Jews until Islam converted their inhabitants to the Abrahamic faith.
The Hyksos were the first non-African foreigners to enter Egypt in any significant numbers. Contrary to popular belief, Egypt from its proto-dynastic phase, to the unification, all the way through the building of the pyramids was solely African and therefore, Black. Ancient Egyptians kept records and mentioned no non-Africans coming in large numbers until the Hyksos. These Hyksos came without significant culture, religion or tradition, however, around 1530BCE they left with a rich tradition of values, which they modified to address their specific cultural issues. These writings eventually became the Hebrew text. It’s clear that these proto-Jewish people were dysfunctional because their religion became violent and reactive. The Hyksos were clearly having trouble and created intellectual tools underpinned by barbarity to dissuade their society’s members from behaving to the detriment of its development. Having your heart weighed against a feather before advancing into the afterlife, as Egypt did, wasn’t enough. So came the Torah; the first five books of the Bible’s Old Testament and some of the most barbaric, torturous, evil literature coming from that era. The Old Testament is a modified and expanded knock-off of Ancient Egyptian religious philosophy.
The Hyksos came from the Arabian Peninsula, became cultured in Egypt over the course of about 200 years, left, then formed a culture based on that culturing. This is why Egyptian mythology and the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are so similar. In Egypt, the Goddess of balance and justice was named Ma’at. The Ancient Hebrews had a God named Ba’al. This certainly is a similar style of naming deities. To think a minority of people came to an African land, became shaped by a superior culture and somehow avoided intermixing, especially in times before the notion of “race” and racial separatism existed, is senseless. The people who left Egypt and formed the Hebrew faith were Black. The people they developed it with were of the Middle East and I’m sure the Africans who left Egypt for the Middle East were, in racial terms, quickly absorbed into Middle Eastern genetics. This is a great case for saying the Hebrews were Black, especially when “Black” means having 1/32 “Black blood.” This racial, “one-drop” standard, created in America, means that long after the original Hebrews ceased to look like Africans, they were still Black.
Arabs conquered Northern Africa, the mixed with the Berbers to form a nation called the Moors then conquered Spain and ruled for 700 years. Their expulsion 700 years later thrust Africans of all religions, including Black Jews into the heart of Africa with the European, proselytize-by-force mindset. The presence of Black Jews in Western Africa, along with the confusion of the Bible’s scriptures and an urgent need to solve the problem of White barbarity towards Black people in the United States likely inspired the Hebrew Israelite movement’s outlook. To say “the ancient Hebrews were Black” wouldn’t be inaccurate. History tends to write out that Black people ruled Spain for 700 years. Eurocentric history projects its own racist tendencies on the Arabs who conquered the top of North Africa, imagining that they behaved like contemporary Europeans, marginalizing themselves and avoiding racial mixing. The Arabs who conquered North Africa brought their gifts and mixed with the various African groups including the Berbers, forming a new Islamic culture called the Moors. Unlike Europeans, the Moors allowed Jews into their society without religious persecution; they only had to pay an extra tax for not being Muslim. The Moors were far more peaceful than Europeans and once they secured the Iberian Peninsula, made relations with Europeans and began educating them, they did away with their standing army. This was a big mistake. Barbarity has always underpinned Europe’s cultural development, however, the Moors ushered in an era of social innovation unlike anything Europe had ever seen. They introduced Europe to its first library system, modern farming, paved lit roads, the compass, soap and, arguably, its first University. Sadly, they erred by thinking Europeans would change their behavior. Seizing on the Moor’s peaceful state and non-existent standing army, Europeans unified via the union of the Castilles and Aragons and made war against the Moors. 25+ years of war and loss of an empire certainly Europeanized the Moors and violented thrusted them into Africa behaving like European Christians forcing Africans to convert to Islam or die. War-like, religious zealots ejecting war-like religious zealots into an innocent sub-Saharan Africa is how Jews ended up in West Africa. The traces these groups left likely give the Hebrew Israelites more substantiation for their case.
My First time meeting a Hebrew Israelite
My first time encountering a Hebrew Israelite was in the 1990s as a late teen. I recall the impression he left on me and understand the appeal of this movement. At the time I attended church voluntarily. I was getting pulled over multiple times daily by White police officers and trying to find my way in life. My best friend and I were walking down Crenshaw Blvd. in South Central Los Angeles and a strangely dressed, biblical-looking man stopped us to tell us about the Hebrew Israelites. My best friend was a child of the church and knew many Bible scriptures. As the man told us about the Hebrew Israelites, he quoted scriptures to substantiate his claims. He told us about the evilness of the White man and pointed to true examples of White men’s deeds around the world over the last 500 years. My friend threw some choice Bible verses at the man and he knew them, but his interpretation of these scriptures was different than what we heard in church. They were empowering and regarded the White man as exactly as I was experiencing him at the time; devils. Hearing the same Bible verses from church interpreted differently was refreshing. I vividly recall walking away from the guy looking at each other impressed that this guy “knew his stuff.” In our minds, he was right and our Latino pastor had been misinterpreting much of the Bible. It was an attractive movement and this encounter certainly opened me up to joining the Hebrew Israelites. Fortunately, my critical thinking ability was flourishing too. I began to go to other churches and realize that the same verses were being interpreted differently; some pastors would even interpret a verse one way, the weeks or months later, interpret the same verse differently. My breaking point with Christianity and blind adherence to the Bible was when the pastor or the biggest church in the area attempted to hire my friends and I to rob his Sister’s husband.
My point is, there were Hebrews in West Africa and, although not likely, members of the Hebrew Israelite movement today may descend from those Hebrews. Also, since White men erased our individual histories we don’t truly know if we come from the regions of North East Africa or not. With that said, it is not unreasonable for Black people to consider themselves descendants of the Ancient Hebrews. At least there’s a historically backed story of how Hebrews ended up there. There are no plausible stories of how White people got from the Middle East to Germany then migrated to Eastern Europe in large numbers. All records indicate a journey from Eastern Europe. Even Heinrich Graetz, the Father of Jewish History, didn’t have much to say about how Europeans got from the Middle East to Germany and the rest of Western Europe.
Once again, this is not a case declaring any of this is absolutely true or not. Rather, I’m demonstrating that it is not unreasonable for Black people to have these beliefs and that anti-Semitism or hatred of White people doesn’t drive the acceptance of these ideas; a reasonable supporting logic underpins these notions. Most Black people have an abbreviated version of these ideas in their minds, however if they dig, they will likely uncover these facts, which would substantiate their beliefs more. If any group wants to do away with Black people having these ideas, we have to be reasoned with truthfully, citing unbiased sources, preferably historical ones predating Zionism. Using White power to bully us into silence only causes us to hide the expression of these ideas; in a vacuum, they only become more estranged from the ideas White America and White Jews have. Without discussion, ideas can’t evolve and align themselves with reality. Reality doesn’t necessarily mean the truth, rather reality means in relation to available ideas including opposing logics.
The Jews Run Hollywood
I work in the film industry at a high level and can tell you that, without a doubt, Ashkenazi Jews run my career. My mentor is Ashkenazi, many of my bosses are Ashkenazi, the assistants they assign me are Ashkenazi and the big bosses and CEOs of the companies I work for are mainly Ashkenazi. Jews certainly run my Hollywood. However, industry wide this may be untrue. Ashkenazi Jews enjoy White privilege, that is, unlike Black people, they can hide their identity and participate fully in Whiteness. As with banking, to outsiders, anyone with access to the inside is seen as “running” it. Spielberg, Michael Bay, Jon Favreau, Woody Allen, Billy Wilder, Roman Polanski, Michael Mann, Rob Reiner, Mel Brooks, Paul Newman, Oliver Stone, J.J. Abrams, Jerry Lewis, John Landis and many others who have literally shaped the art of filmmaking, were all Ashkenazi Jews. Not only is that preeminence, but when compared to Black people’s minute influence on filmmaking, from a Black perspective Ashkenazi Jews can easily be viewed as “running” Hollywood.
Black people have had it worse than Jews, hands down.
While many are sincere in equating their past struggles with Black people’s, when you factor out White Social Benefit and factor in the Black Social Deficit, their experience pales to ours. White Jews’ oppression boils down to 1. The Holocaust where six-million Ashkenazi were killed, 2. the persecution described by Theodore Herzl above in Europe, and, 3. Biblical persecutions, which are largely unsubstantiated, subjected to thousands of years of narrative change, and likely did not happen to many White people since at the time they weren’t the dominant cultures and the vast majority of them were spread throughout in Europe. While Jews had the horrible, horrible experience called the Holocaust, their experience is elevated above an even worst Holocaust that Western countries don’t care to recognize. Hitler killed six-million White people and Western society considers this a teachable moment yet King Leopold II killed 10+ million Black people and Western society doesn’t care to mention it in its history books. This is indicative of a culture that doesn’t, as a principle take holocausts seriously, rather it is mainly against White holocausts. I can safely say that Western society is not against the concept of holocausts and based on its responsiveness and disparate dispositions to both holocausts, it is solely to White holocausts. Based on Western society’s behavior we can calculate that one Ashkenazi life is worth at least 1.67 Black lives. Hopefully we’ll never have to find out if it’s worth more.
One principle, two reactions from White America
Recently Project Veritas, a conservative news outlet did as sting operation on two Disney executives. They hired women to go on dates with them from a dating application then had those women converse with them about Disney’s hiring practices. The first executive, Michael Giordano, revealed that Disney was focused on bringing non-White executives into its ranks. Project Veritas raised a big fuss, calling out “racism” when Giordano said candidly that they were passing over White male candidates for minorities. In reality this was untrue based on inside information I have; two promotions he didn’t get went to White males, one of which has a “tz” last name. In response to what it clearly saw as an injustice, Project Veritas coordinated a followup operation by arranging a date with a second woman where the previous woman would show up and confront Mr. Giordano. During the date, the first girl arrives and confronts Giordano. Then James O’Keffee, the host of this show showed up and chased Giordano through the streets, harassing him and putting him in danger asking for an explanation of why White men were being passed over for certain employment. Today, a Google search of “Disney executive targeted dating app” will only turn up one search result that applies to this operation, as sensational as it was. However, a Youtube search results in several commentary videos on the matter, which means people are interested in this subject but media, including Google, are keeping it away from the public’s eye.
No Outrage When Racism Benefits White Men
Project Veritas did another, similar sting with another Disney executive, Sohrab Makker. Makker revealed that Disney was passing over all minority employees to work in their elite “Suite C” executive division in favor of White men, which includes Ashkenazi Jews. Interestingly Project Veritas did not make as big of a deal about this revelation. There were no secondary stings or date confrontations. There were no street chases. Project Veritas didn’t even seem to take issue with discriminatory “racism” that favored White men; they only seemed to be mad about Disney passing over White men. This shows that Project Veritas, much like America’s disposition to holocausts, is not against the priniple of discriminatory hiring, rather it’s only against discriminatory hiring that doesn’t benefit White men. Since. Ashkenazi people can opt in and out of Jewishness, it’s easy for Black people to see “Suite C” as Jews running Disney and by extension, Hollywood.
The CEO of Disney, Warner Brothers, 20th Century (formerly Fox), are Ashkenazi. If you look through the leadership pages of the big five film studios, the ranks are filled with Greenbaums, Levinsons, Moseses, Ratners and Rothmans. While these last names don’t make anyone Ashkenazi, these are certainly names associated with Ashkenazi people and they are preeminent in Hollywood’s five largest studios’ leadership. As I said before, I’m not making the case that “Jews run Hollywood,” rather I’m establishing that it is not ridiculous to have this belief and that the next time this matter arises, rather than use White power to shut Black people up, the Ashkenazi people should take the opportunity to educate us why they feel we are wrong in these notions. I’ve had this debate with my Black friend who’s high up in the corporate structure in Hollywood, and he’s made a good case for the softening (not elimination) of these views. This discussion was very helpful in checking my ideas and while it didn’t change my overall views, it did show that non-Jewish White men are still a force to be reconned with in Hollywood. They seldom hire me, but they are prevalent in Hollywood and have great sway. So perhaps the Ashkenazis are the only ones willing to hire me and because of this, my experience has been restricted to majority Ashkenazi filming environments.
As with everything I ever write, the solution is a robust discussion. In this case it’s between Blacks and Ashkenazi Jews. Adopting these ideas wholesale would only create an opposition based solely on its flaws. A robust, good-faith, forthright discussion is the only thing that can create strong and everlasting bonds between these groups of humans who historically have shown the ability to work well together. A discussion is in order not White Power bullying. It will help both Blacks and Jews understand each other’s positions better. It may also clarify where Black people’s ideas are wrong. While most Black people views about Jews are not as in depth as what I wrote above, most do not feel Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of the ancients. Their reasoning might be as simple as; “How did they hide a White Moses in Ancient Egypt?” “How did White people exist in such a hot area are remain White?” “Why are so many Bankers Jewish?” “Why are there so many prominent Jewish people in Entertainment and why are there so many Jewish names in upper management?” “Why are White Jews so adamant about ancient Hebrews not being Black even though the region is in and right next to Africa?” These simple questions create a legitimate conventional Black wisdom that underpins Black people’s impression of White Jews. Israel behaving similar to colonialists and police, like killing innocent people then having society dismiss their sins with a phrase (for colonialists it was, “they are savages,” for police it is, “I feared for my life,” for Israel it is, “Hamas was hiding amongst them.”) only causes average Black Americans to confirm their Whiteness. It also doesn’t help that Israel trains many of America’s police officers, who come back to America and practice White supremacy against Black people. But, perhaps Black people have it wrong and simply need a fuller picture to understand where they have erred in their thought. The only way to Bring Black people to a better understand is a forthright and good faith discussion. I implore Ashkenazi Jews to open a dialogue about who they are to the world with Black people. Black people have tried over and over again but they use White Power, not reason, to compel silence.
