You are a fucking idiot if you think that this image depicts a racially black woman.
When you have evidence that the description "Black" actually is related to race as oppose to what is commonly understood: that the word is metaphorically charged, hit us up.

We can go tit 4 tat and I'll post semitic renditions of mother goddess and child with NO NEGRO CONNECTIION. And then argue that Europe's was inspired by the ones found in Asia. YOU = LOSE. Now, go crawl back under the rock from which you came.

Yes cause when I think of an earthy skin tone I think pink and white. Woa wait-- No, I don't quite think of such colors when I think of the color of Earth. At most a Med, but those people are mixed. Earthy colors can also be dark brown to black. I could understand later renditions of her skin changed to reflect European views on purity. Even more interesting is that the quote suggests that there was a reduction in emphasis on eternal feminine power because of it. Ideas of purity were mostly important for patriarchal purposes involving a man knowing his child and ensuring his genetic legacy. If they didn't see pallid women as having eternal feminine power, would that suggest self hatred?? Cassi's always talking about it, I wonder if he's trying to portray impartiality by suggesting the issue was also present in Europe.

Black God: The Afroasiatic Roots of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim Religions
It is argued that just as there is a common Afroasiatic language family, so too there is a common Afroasiatic family of religions. There is an inner logic to be found in myths, folk-tales, rituals, customs and beliefs as far apart as Yemen and Nigeria which go back to an ancient past shared by the Bible and the pharaohs.
Using the method of comparative mythology, the author sifts through the work of scholars - including anthropologists, religious historians, archaeologists and classical Greek writers and contemporary comments on them by professional Egyptologists - to build his picture of the Afroasiatic heritage, and how much of it is still with us in modern Western thought.
Head of the god Amun (Amun RA/ RE)(Amen)
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the AMEN, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. ( Revelation 3:14-15 )
Amon, or Amen
(the mysterious ), an Egyptian divinity, whose name occurs in that of No-amon. ( Nahum 3:8 ) Amen was one of the eight gods of the first order and chief of the triad of Thebes. He was worshipped at that city as Amen-Ra, or "Amen the Sun."

This crappy image was already debunked in a post prior to this. All you need to do, is scroll up a few posts.
Hebrews as they were during ancient days; Flavius Josephus describes a man like them, referring at the individual Jesus/ Joshua Ben Pantera as: Short, dark skinned, with curly/ frizzy hair. And underdeveloped beard. So where does that other image comes from?
The Qumran in Israel speaks of Moshe in similair way. The oral tradition of the Copts says the same.
Your history and culture is wodan, witch craved, wicca and such. From the caves and the forest of Europe. Christianity spread due to the invasion of the Roman army into Europe. Leaving people only with two choices.
It was convert to the sola scriptura or die! So they added water to the whine. This is why there are still elements in European Christianity mixed up with original traditions. Santa Claus is one of them. Easter bunny is another one. The Christmas tree and so on...

Noah is decribed as fair haired in the Qumran Scrolls (4Qmess ar), while the Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) describes him as white skinned:
Book of Enoch
''10. THE BOOK OF METHUSELAH
106.1 And after those days my son Methuselah chose a wife for his son Lamech and she became pregnant by him and bore a son. 106.2 And his body was white like snow, and red like the flower of a rose, and the hair of his head was white like wool. And his eyes were beautiful and when he opened his eyes he made the whole house bright, like the Sun, so that the whole house was exceptionally bright.''
King David is described as red-haired (1 Samuel 17:42; 1 Samuel 16:12).
A description of Sarah, Abraham's wife, in the seventh Dead Sea Scroll:
''Her skin was pure white; 'She had long lovely hair; Her limbs were smooth and rounded (her thighs were shapely) 'She had slender legs and small feet; 'Her hand were slim and long and so were her fingers''
- pale skin, long flowing hair.
There are no Negroids in the Bible, the limited geographical setting only deals with Caucasoids.

Abstract
The Lemba are a traditionally endogamous group speaking a variety of Bantu languages who live in a number of locations in southern Africa. They claim descent from Jews who came to Africa from "Sena." "Sena" is variously identified by them as Sanaa in Yemen, Judea, Egypt, or Ethiopia. A previous study using Y-chromosome markers suggested both a Bantu and a Semitic contribution to the Lemba gene pool, a suggestion that is not inconsistent with Lemba oral tradition. To provide a more detailed picture of the Lemba paternal genetic heritage, we analyzed 399 Y chromosomes for six microsatellites and six biallelic markers in six populations (Lemba, Bantu, Yemeni-Hadramaut, Yemeni-Sena, Sephardic Jews, and Ashkenazic Jews). The high resolution afforded by the markers shows that Lemba Y chromosomes are clearly divided into Semitic and Bantu clades. Interestingly, one of the Lemba clans carries, at a very high frequency, a particular Y-chromosome type termed the "Cohen modal haplotype," which is known to be characteristic of the paternally inherited Jewish priesthood and is thought, more generally, to be a potential signature haplotype of Judaic origin. The Bantu Y-chromosome samples are predominantly (>80%) YAP+ and include a modal haplotype at high frequency. Assuming a rapid expansion of the eastern Bantu, we used variation in microsatellite alleles in YAP+ sY81-G Bantu Y chromosomes to calculate a rough date, 3,000-5,000 years before the present, for the start of their expansion.

7.1. Black God of Ancient Arabia and Israel
In 1985, German scholar Werner Daum published an important monograph, Ursemitische Religion ("Proto-Semitic Religion").[1] By a close study of ancient South Arabian inscriptions and modern Yemeni folktales and ritual practices, Daum was able to produce a convincing reconstruction of proto-Semitic Religion, or at least important aspects thereof. The proto-Semites are believed to have been the original speakers of that language (Proto-Semitic) from which the various Semitic languages derived (Arabic, Hebrew, Ugaritic, Akkadian, etc.). It has been suggested that they originated in the areas round the northern frontier of Syria,[2] and began diverging probably around 5000 B.C.E. As these Proto-Semites will eventually evolve into the Semites (Arabs, Hebrews, Canaanites, Akkadians, etc.), proto-Semitic religion will make an important contribution to the development of the Semitic religious tradition, even the Semitic monotheistic traditions (i.e. the so-called 'Religions of the Book'- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Daum suggests that our best evidence for reconstructing the 'Ursemitische Religion' comes from southern Arabia.[3] The most important observation for our purposes is that, according to Daum's reconstruction, the high god of the proto-Semites was a black storm deity, rain being most valued in this part of the world, called "Il/"El/"Al. Now "l is the general appellative meaning 'god' and proper divine name in all the major branches of the Semitic family of languages[4]; from it derived the Hebrew "ŔlŮah thus the biblical "ŔlŮhîm, God")[5] and Arabic il§h (thus the qur"§nic aĎϧh, "God").[6] This ancient proto-Semitic deity was depicted as an old, bearded man and associated with the black rain cloud, black bovine* (ibex, bull, buffalo) and occasionally the black ostrich. These, Daum tells us, "symbolisiert den dunklen "Il (‚symbolized the dark "Il')."[7] In the ancient Near Eastern and India the black rain-cloud symbolized the god's black body[8] and the hide of the black bull signifies the skin of the black god.[9]
The British historian Julian Baldick followed up and expanded upon Daum's research with Black God: The Afroasiatic Roots of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim Religions.[10] Baldick's research suggested that, just as there is an 'Afroasiatic' language group indigenous to North Africa and Arabia (consisting of the Semitic languages, the ancient Egyptian language, Berber, Hausa, and the Kushitic and Omotic languages of the Horn of Africa) there is likewise an 'Afroasiatic' religious tradition indigenous to the same area and peculiar to the same groups. This 'Afroasiatic' religious tradition is characterized by a dualistic logic which emphasizes the male-female dichotomy and by a divine triad consisting of a Black storm god, a goddess, and a young hero god. Baldick notes:
'Afroasiatic' logic is in my view particularly dualistic and based on the opposition between male and female…(T)his logic is particularly directed towards obtaining water, and operates by combining a male storm-god, black and violent, with a female deity of the sun, white and vulnerable.[11]

Black Madonna's also symbolise Black Superiority 1100-1848. Some were destroyed around the French Revolution. The Black elite saw divinity as Black and superior.

You'd do real well to hush your pie hole on matters which evade your comprehension of scripture, fool. The Hebrews ALWAYS used observed realities to express as metaphors, pointing to higher social, intellectual and spiritual meanings. So, while their writing is filled with metaphors, these are all rooted in actual persons, places and things. The example Cass provided is an excellent one as it points to an historical event which the Hebrews interpreted to mean something spiritual. Noah was born with Aryan features that the Hebrews only knew to be associated with the gods (angels). Thus, his birth signaled an apocalyptic event on the horizon.
Now, shut your trap. You have been schooled, once again.

Here is a more precise translation to clarify "thick darkness," a term Dr. Wesley Muhommed has grossly misinterpreted. He now promotes his doctrine on God is enshrouded in blackness (implying he is Black) in the Afro-Islamic conscious circle.
Exo 20.21 And the people remained at a distance and Moshe approached the tempestuous cloud which there was [found] Elohim (God.)
The word in question is "arafel." Scholars contend that the word originates in the three-stem Qal root - Ayin, resh, phe(fe); Araf means to drop or drip -it is in this root that the notion of descending (drop) storm clouds -arafel- is derived. We see this contextual meaning applied in Deut. 32.2 and 33.28.

Noah was most likely a Sumerian king or ruler. Most of Genesis after all is rooted in pre-Semitic Mesopotamian history. There are certain parallels between Noah and the Sumerian and Babylonian flood hero's, for example Ziusudra (Xisuthros), all who seem to have been rooted on a Sumerian historical figure. So most the Bible is in fact historically valid, the archaeologist Leonard Woolley claimed to have discovered the flood strata at Ur, so the flood was probably localised. The Hebrew for 'earth' (eretz) does not mean the entire globe, but just a localised area.
"the storm had swept...for seven days and seven nights" — Ziusudra 203 "For seven days and seven nights came the storm" — Atrahasis III,iv, 24 "Six days and seven nights the wind and storm" — Gilgamesh XI, 127 "rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights" — Genesis 7:12
Now if we take a look at the extent of geography the Book of Genesis deals with:
- The ethnography only deals with Caucasoids, predominantly from Western Asia, but small segments of Europe were known such as Greece, and only the northern tip of north africa.
Negroids from sub-sahara africa were not known until far later in antiquity.
Paul Heinisch in his History of the Old Testament (1952) notes that the Jews had no knowledge of Negroids and in regards to the ethnographic table (Gen. x) he clearly points out (p. 32):
''No reference is made to the Indians, Negroes, Mongolians, Malayans, Chinese, Japanese, etc. The author names only the peoples within his sphere of knowledge.''
The Ethiopia (Kush) of Genesis is Arabia.
''And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates'' (Gen. ii. 14; ESV).
The Tigris and Euphrates do not flow into Africa and as Professor Alexander Winchell (1880) asserts: ''As long as we locate Kush in the heart of Africa, this passage is unintelligible; but when we seek for Kush in the Arabian peninsula, we apprehend at least a geographical relation to the rivers of Eden'' (Preadamites, p. 91).
Alternitively Kush could have been in Mesopotamia, as you had the Kassites and Kish, but i prefer to think of it being in Arabia, but whatever its exact location it was not in africa.

quote:Originally posted by facts: Here is a more precise translation to clarify "thick darkness," a term Dr. Wesley Muhommed has grossly misinterpreted. He now promotes his doctrine on God is enshrouded in blackness (implying he is Black) in the Afro-Islamic conscious circle.
Exo 20.21 And the people remained at a distance and Moshe approached the tempestuous cloud which there was [found] Elohim (God.)
The word in question is "arafel." Scholars contend that the word originates in the three-stem Qal root - Ayin, resh, phe(fe); Araf means to drop or drip -it is in this root that the notion of descending (drop) storm clouds -arafel- is derived. We see this contextual meaning applied in Deut. 32.2 and 33.28.
The black hebrew israelite nuts now have white followers.
Still the same bullshit.
They go to revelation and claim Jesus is described as afro (wooly) haired. When it says his head is WHITE *like* wool. It's not describing any texture but the colour. Last time i checked negroids don't have white heads... Posts: 1575 | From: - | Registered: May 2011

So, while Wesley argues that God dwells or hides himself in thick darkness, God also envelops his nakedness in PURE WHITENESS. Why doesn't he teach that too? He is a charlatan with a Ph.d. But of course, his following is the deaf, dumb, and blind, thereby, he is able to present a salable pseudo teaching to these fools like Troll Patrol.
Take a look for yourself:
Daniel 7.9 (in-part): "[L]evushe k'tlag khivar..."
Translation:
"[His] vestment is pale as snow"
A stronger argument can be made that the color white is closer to God's essence as it is closer in proximity to his being.

Yea, the BHI is filled with semi-literate and illiterate buffoons. You'd expect them to make a blunder like that.

The ancient Hebrews were obviously Caucasoid, predominantly Mediterranid and Armenoid but they had some fairer traits through admixture with the Hittites (Leuco-Syrians). Laban ('white'), the uncle of Jacob, derived his name for his pale complexion, while his daughter, Leah, is described as blue eyed (Gen. 29: 17). King David, who was of probable Hittite ancestry, is described as red-haired in 1 Samuel.
This is how the Dead Sea Scrolls describe Noah:
4Q534 [4QMess ar]) Col. I ; from the hand two [. . .] a mark; red is his hair
It is evident from scripture alone, based on the ethnological or racial description of traits: red hair, blue eyes etc, that these peoples were Caucasoid.
The afrocentrics like to claim the Hebrews had afro hair texture, not true - just their fantasy.
A close-up of Jehu, king of Israel from the Black Obelisk (housed in the British Museum) -
You can clearly see he has wavy straight flowing hair, obviously not a negro.

When the Old Testament was written, blacks were thousands of miles away in sub-sahara africa. The authors of the Old Testament didn't even know Negroids existed. Are you so dumb you think Biblical ethnography is not limited? Would you like to show me then where the eskimos, australian aborigines or black sub-saharan africans are in scripture? The authors had zero knowledge of lands outside of western asia, apart from the tip of north africa and a segment of europe. You simply aren't going to find negroes, abos or eskimos in scripture because the authors had no idea they existed.

Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser II

This inscription is engraved on an obelisk of black marble, five feet in height, found by Mr. Layard in the centre of the Mound at Nimroud, and now in the British Museum. Each of its four sides is divided into five compartments of sculpture representing the tribute brought to the Assyrian King by vassal princes, Jehu of Israel being among the number. Shalmaneser, whose annals and conquests are recorded upon it, was the son of Assur-natsir-pal, and died in 823 B.C., after a reign of thirty-five years. A translation of the inscription was one of the first achievements of Assyrian decipherment, and was made by Sir. H. Rawlinson; and Dr. Hincks shortly afterward (in 1851) succeeded in reading the name of Jehu in it. M. Oppert translated the inscription in his "Histoire des Empires de Chaldee et d'Assyrie," and M. Menant has given another rendering of it in his "Annales des Rois d'Assyrie" (1874). A copy of the text will be found in Layard's "Inscriptions in the Cuneiform Character" (1851).
Note: Jehu of Israel is not actually in the text: it is in the Epigraphs accompanying the sculptures as "Yahua son of Khumri".
