Black Hebrew Israelites

The

Mormons and what's the New Israelites? The black Israelites.

Oh, yeah, the black Israelites.

They both are like, hey, Jesus came to North America after he rose from the dead and converted all the Indians.

Yeah.

Each of our experiences with the Bible is subjective and speculative.

The same Bible is on the altar in every Mason Lodge, in the home of most KKK members, in the home of the black Hebrew Israelites who believe all white men are Edomites and hated by God.

And he says, I'm speaking from experience and I love them all.

Because he lived in Latin America and around these black Hebrew Israelites.

The home, he says, of the Southern Baptists who believe that once saved, always saved.

The home of the Oneness, Holiness Pentecostals who believe in strict, rigid rules that if not followed will land you in hell.

Andrew Tobolowsky ties all this together by offering a new perspective on the history of what he calls becoming Israel, the practice of claiming and constructing new identities by adapting the 12 tribes tradition.

The book, The Myth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, explores this history through a series of case studies, beginning with the Hebrew Bible itself and continuing through discussions of the Samaritans, medieval lost tribe legends, the Mormons, and the Beta Israel of Ethiopia, though there are many other groups that we could talk about, including the Black Hebrew Israelites and followers of British Israelism.

This is a groundbreaking book because it not only ventures into a topic dominated by conspiracy theorists instead of critical scholarship, but it also is an extensive comparative study that spans thousands of years of history.

His argument starts with this simple fact.

Yeah.

Well, he got that from the other fake Hebrew Israelites.

Elisha Israel?

Yeah, I just don't slow my tongue with his name because he was a fake fraud and a phony.

And that's hella hard to do because...

I know how it feels, man, to walk through and then follow your thoughts to the T, thinking that you're following God, like when I was arguing with the Hebrew Israelites, only to, like, really waste hella time and then come back to realigning anyways.

Like, it's so much smarter to just align right there.

But it's like, nah, I just want to follow my...

Say that again.

Um, so FD signified who would classify, uh, Kendrick Lamar as a whole tip, right? When you say whole tip, typically they mean, you know, you know, some men as part of some black righteous group, maybe, uh, in, in Kendrick's, uh, instance, uh, Maybe it's the black Hebrew Israelites.

I'm not sure, but I'm going to say that black Hebrew Israelites probably have some influence over his ideology.

So, you know, I guess FDC inspired was saying that, you know, he might want to go up that hotel route, you know, saying

in his critique.

has no credibility at all.

Like, the only people that that shit came from is niggas who was in battles that fucking won.

right like if Jay Z you know not even Jay somebody like Nas right Q they're like man you know you could have been because what he's saying don't even make sense like for Drake first of all like Drake would actually have to have the understanding of like black Hebrew Israelites nigga who the fuck has that

Yeah, it's just great.

How funny are black Israelites? The funniest guys on the

planet.

I've always wanted to walk up to them and go...

I know.

This is not the time to bring up the story, given the Rays' success.

But I saw an old white guy drop a hard R on the black Israelites in Ybor City.

Dude, to one of them specifically.
