Who are the Black Hebrew Israelites and what was their part in the Covington controversy?
At the beginning of the video footage you can see that the black Israelite were verbally attacking the indians. The kids ended up in the middle of this, accidentally preventing an escalation of the tensions only to be attacked by both sides.
In 1886, Chattanooga, Tennessee, a former railroad worker named Frank Cherry established the Church of the Living God, the Pillar and Ground of Truth for All Nations. (Yes, that was the full church name.) He mixed together elements of Judaism and Christianity, and believed that African Americans were descendants of the original tribes of Israel. He preached that these Israelite ancestors were chased out of Babylon into central and western Africa where they were eventually sold into slavery by the Romans. He believed that Adam, Eve, and Jesus were black. Cherry also preached that whites are inherently evil and hated by God.

The indian issue was different. All the northern indians that the forefathers knew wanted and agreed to be part of the American Experiment...all that went south with the westward push of our new civilization and the actions of jackson...the father of the demoncrapic party...hmm...go figure, they were racist from the start!
It all went south from the actual teachings and history when they adopted Latin. Latin does not easily nor accurately translate from Hebrew nor Greek...therefore the original languages were confounded and the truth was hidden from the people...sounds like the fall of Babylon all over again.
Freedom of religion, except for the mormons who wanted polygamy. Upholding the rights of all, except for the Native Indians. Very slow removal of slavery, because a lot of the government people owned slaves and wanted cheap labor. The list goes on and on.
Their "god" is good, yet allows very bad things to happen to people who would be considered "good" by the religion. It grants good things to very bad people. Strike 1
The provision of "heaven" as the reward for obedience to the faith is very hollow. Where it is, how come no one ever comes back to talk about it, how come no one can experience a trial period just to verify its really there, etc.
The provision of "hell" as eternal punishment for being "bad" in this life. Where is it, whats really there except fire and brimstone, the fact no one has ever been there and then came back to report on its existence.
In all, catholic religion is so irrational that its easy to toss it out the window with no regrets, which is what I did.
I would pirate the ideas about financial affairs from the same groups also because they are very practically based.
That said, I disagree as to why they believe those things. Religion makes it seem that the basis for their beliefs rest with some sort of mythical being, or in the case of mormonism a prophet and some sort of remote planet.
I think that the nature of human beings is the source of the things that I hold as correct. Thats what drew me to Ayn Rand and her way of thinking. I wouldnt say I am a member of the objectivist cult, however, and I analyze each of the objectivist ideas and evaluate them myself before I conclude they are correct.
Although, the Mayans gave us a Lot of information as well. We are not even close to knowing what they knew.
So which things would you keep and why?
In the the beginning of slavery it was that they were uneducated and treating them as subhuman was really a cover to keep them DOWN and unable to rise up. Wouldnt have mattered if they were green, or from someplace other than africa.
Then the reason for keeping the black slaves down was just economic. It was cheaper labor, and to keep it that way one needed to keep them uneducated and feeling like THEY were subhuman.
I guess I am saying it was always economics that drove things. Once the blacks got more educated and stuck up for themselves, the labor cost advantage started to disappear.
But Obama crossed the line and made them feel like they were not only equal, but better than white people- and starting up reverse racism.
Now, there is a backlash against the entitled blacks (which they deserve for being entitled)
As to the entitled black "religion", I see almost NO goodness in that.
As to Islam, I would say that their financial teachings arent bad, but the rest of it sucks. They are the most intolerant religion and want to kill infidels (including me).
Jewish religion isnt bad on financial dealings and family, but I dont understand why they seem to be leftist leaning.
I think a good idea is to pirate the best of all the religions and formulate the best of the best IF you have to adhere to something....
Not all teachings are wrong or bad but the group we are discussing is perverted on both accounts.
