I have a question!
Hello to All,
I feel foreign to everyone else since I think so differently. I would like to put to rest the mystery whether we, descendents of slaves or perhaps a new breed or race of people that have emerged out of the ashes of slavery are African-Americans.
Jamal says that African-Americans and Black Americans are the same people.
Ms. Judah says that we are the real Jews.
Consequentially, I cannot understand how any of you could believe that we are African-Americans.
It is apparent to me that you all do not know what an African-American is and that is hilarious. It is mind boggling that an entire people do not know who they are or where they came from, am I right.
So again, do you think that you are an African then an Americans? If you do, give me some sort of rhyme and reason that would back your claim up, okay.
How could you say you have come a far way when you do not know who or what you are? It would behoove you first to know whom or what you are before you can measure any progress of yourself, am I right.
Tell me what you think.

Some like to argue that we are all "Africans" because life began on the continent now referred to as "Africa" - this being said....
My Great Ancestors traveled East.....
I am not an "African"
I am Afro-Asian
Our first clue should be: THE WHITE MAN NEVER CALLED US AFRICANS
They called us "*****s"
They knew where we came from
They didn't associate us with Africa until it became "politically correct" and they did this just to satisfy a few who complained and didn't like being called "Black/Negro"
Niger is the Latin word for Black
Latin is the base for the Spanish language
In 1492, the same year Christopher Columbus "discovered" America, Spain expelled all Jews and Moors (Black Muslims) that didn't convert
Many people are aware of this FACT
My brother-in-law, an "African" from Kenya, knows this
After I became aware of this FACT, I asked him:
"Did you know that some of us "Blacks" here in America are Jews?"
He was eating a plate of food...
He didn't stop eating, he never looked up
He just shook his head YES and sounded "Umm Hmm"
I was shocked and saddened
He said it like he didn't care
He said it like it was no big deal
A few months before, I was over this same brother-in-law's house and he had company - other Africans
We were having a conversation and I was "trying" to embrace the term "African-American"
I was trying to be "proud" to be from Africa, I was trying to "connect" with them
An African woman spoke up and she let me know with as much disgust and vile that she could possibly find, that I WASN'T AN AFRICAN!
It shook me and it made me question everything....
Maybe I'm not from Africa! - (No one offered the Truth that night)
Months later, after I was certain of WHO I AM, an "African" friend of my mother's, a Muslim, saw my uncles, my mother's brothers, for the first time and said out loud in amazement, "Wow! Look at the Black Jews"
These people from the other side of the world know who they're looking at
We are the only ones who are ignorant of the FACTS
To my face this same "African Muslim" called me Mary Magdalene, a woman in the Bible with a past not so glorious
(They know the Bible)
I wasn't offended - I knew what he meant
OUR HISTORY IS NOT LOST
I am a Jew
I was led to believe that I was a Gentile
Even though I saw My People and Myself in the story of Moses and The Children of Israel....
I thought it was a coincidence - not so
The Truth was right in front of our faces
The Bible is a Book about slaves
The Black Church needs to READ the Bible and teach the TRUTH
We are the Chosen Ones
We are The Children of Israel from the Tribe of Judah
Jerusalem is Home
