  1. I'm a black American and even I admire Britian though I've never been. It's one of the few officially Christian nations. The British Empire helped free us from slavery during the Revolutionary War and made a way for Harriet Tubman to bring us to Canada. God bless Britain and God bless Canada. 🙏🏾✝🕊

  2.  @rtflone  I don't have my facts confused at all actually. You're jumping to conclusions and making assumptions. I know Britain brought slavery to the American colonies. But prior to 1832, the British Empire ended slavery in the 13 colonies. The British were starting to end slavery in the colonies starting in 1772. Black Loyalists formed a British army unit called the Ethiopian Regiment which freed slaves and fought against the patriots. I already know about African slave wars, Northern slavers, and Yale. None of this contradicts what I said about the British Empire ending slavery and Canada being a safe haven for freed former slaves.

  3.  @raycorrigan3297  UK is Christian in action also, seeing as it abolished slavery, abolished capital punishment, and allows individual liberties and freedom of choice. That may be changing in recent years but the track record has been pretty good with few exceptions. The majority doesn't have to be Christian as long as the monarchy remains Christian. As for "sky wizards" you have no moral or epistemological justification to compare Christianity to such fantasy. In fact, your criticism is based in Judeochristian philosophy.

  4. If two people of the same religion marry, it's not interracial according to the bible. A black Christian husband and his white Christian wife are the same Christian race. "I am black and beautiful. My love is white and ruddy." - Song of Solomon 1:5 & 5:10 "Moses married an Ethiopian." - Numbers 12:1

  11. @ghost-user559  By your logic, black Africans are Causcus Asians too since they descend from Noah. The reason why there are white Israelites and black Israelites is because Israelites, as I said initially, descend from multiple ethnic groups. You’re blinded by white pride. “I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” - Acts 10:34-35

I don't know anything about Cleopatra but from what little I've read, her father, Ptolemy was Greek while her mother was Egyptian. So, she was probably some shade of brown, not black or white.

  18.  @ghost-user559  You conclusions are based on omissions. Israelites are described as “white and ruddy” or “black”. The only time anyone is described as just white without also being ruddy is when they have leprosy, like Miriam. “Miriam became leprous, white as snow.” - Numbers 12:10 Notice it doesn’t also say she was ruddy too. How could leprosy make Miriam White if she was already white? Noah is described as “white and snow AND RED AS A ROSE”. So are the Nazarites. Your own scriptures show they weren’t just white. You’re omitting key verses and jumping to conclusions in your pride.

  29.  @howardjones7370  Blue eyes is irrelevant. The skin tone is what was brought up in the BBC song. There are black people with blue eyes and even blond hair. The people of Vanuatu are black with blonde hair too. North Africa had not yet been invaded by Arab Muslims during the time of Septimius Severus. He was a native African. The BBC song doesn't claim that Blanke was born in Britian. It's just saying he was there.

  30.  @MrBannystar  What evidence do you have that contradicts the 'Been Here from the Start' song? Noone said that North Africans are the same as sub-saharans. That's a strawman argument. I also never said that only black Africans existed in the North.

  31.  @wiilov  I wasn't going to respond to this ad hominem attack at first but it's a great learning tool. It shows that people who have no logical, fact-based arguments will always resort to childish ad hominem fallacies, even if they're obviously untrue. One can come from a great family and have a loving, supportive father, like myself, but still be falsely accused of the opposite. This combines the red-herring fallacy with the ad hominem to distract from the subject at hand. It's the most primitive of all coping mechanisms. The undernourished ego will use every fallacy in the book if it means they don't have to admit they're wrong.

  32.  @divinaluz7  Moors are black too. There are black people all over Africa, including Maghreb. I have no need for a "goctha"; I'm just presenting the facts unbiasedly. Black skin is not a "sub-saharan phenotype". Black skin exists all over the world, including among the Jarawa of India and the Papua of Papua New Guinea. The people of Vanuatu are black too yet have blonde hair. Also, the bible records a black North African Hebrew named the Shulumite, Queen of Sheba. She's also said to be the daughter of the Pharaoh. This was before North Africa was invaded by Muslim Arabs. "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5 ✝

  35.  @annemurphy9339  The evidence suggests she was also Egyptian through her mother. Royal dynasties at the time actually didn't just marry there own family lines. Pharaoh Siamun was mixed with Egyptian and Hittite. His wife, Siamun Karomama, was Kushite from Sudan/Ethiopia. Pharaoh Ahmose was an Egyptian but his wife, Ahmose-Nefertari, was Kushite. So what you're saying is completely false. Egyptian Royals had always married into different Ethnicities as long as they shared the same religion and worshipped the same god(s). The Ptolemys were no different. The term "caucasoid" is Darwinist pseudoscience and doesn't refer to any specific haplogroup, haplotype, of phenotype. So, no, Cleopatra would not be caucasoid because caucosoid doesn't actually exist.

  37.  @ghost-user559  Yes, I've seen those replies and responded. I'll respond here as well if you wish. "Sheba" isn't the name of the Queen of Sheba. "Sheba" is the name of the province in Sudan where she ruled under her father, the Pharaoh. The name "Shulumite" is the name she adopted from her husband, Solomon. Wives adopt the names of their husbands in Hebrew tradition. Shulumite is said to have been praised by queens and concubines in the Song of Solomon so the bible contradicts your claims. If you're reading a bible that says Moses allowed slavery, that bible is a mistranslation. Read the KJV, Douay-Rheims, or Peshitta. Those are the official English translations. Some of the Israelites were black actually. They came out of Egypt and Ethiopia, in Africa. Shulumite is described as black in the Song of Solomon. "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5

  39.  @ghost-user559  The age of the translation is irrelevant. That's a mistranslation. Shachor (שְׁחוֹרָ֤ה) in Hebrew means black. The scriptures say the ancestors of the Israelites came from multiple places including Ur, Canan, Egypt, and Ethiopia. Some of their ancestors even married Ishmaelites. Your question is based on the false premise that all Israelites looked the same. A healthy Israelite definitely wasn't white. The Bible says Mirum became white when she got leprosy. "Miriam became leprous, white as snow." - Numbers 12:10 Contrast that to Solomon, who was "white and ruddy" and his first wife who was "black".

  40.  @ghost-user559  I'm referring to English translations, obviously. The KJV, Douay-Rheims, and Peshitta in Plain English are the only authoritative English translations. So no, the age doesn't matter. What matters is the accuracy of the translation into English. If your English translation translates shachor (שְׁחוֹרָ֤ה) as "dark" rather than "black", it's a mistranslation. You have to be specific of the "ancestors" you're talking about. Are you talking about the ancestors of Moses? Or do you mean the ancestors of Jacob and Abraham? How far back in the genealogy are you talking? Which specific generation are you referring to? You're being too vague. Generally, the Israelites have had ancestors from Ur, Canaan, Egypt, Ethiopia, etc. David even married a Hittite. If we go back far enough, Adam and Eve were also ancestors of the Israelites, and they were from Eden. If you can post verses that contradict these verses, I'll admit that I'm wrong: "Moses married an Ethiopian." - Numbers 12:1 "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5 "I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt." - Hosea 13:4

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. And when he was taken from the hand of the midwife, he opened his mouth and spoke to the Lord of Righteousness. And his father Lamech was afraid of him, and fled, and went to his father Methuselah. And he said to him: "I have begotten a STRANGE son; he is NOT LIKE A MAN but is like the children of the Angels of Heaven, of a different type and NOT LIKE US.” - 1 Enoch 106:1-5

  44.  @ghost-user559  Song of Solomon 7:4 just says ivory, it doesn't say which type of ivory. For example, black rhino ivory is black, not white. So that would coincide with Song of Solomon 1:5's "I am black and beautiful." You assume that all ivory of every species is the same color. Also, he may be referring to her neck being tall/long like an ivory tower, not the same color. Also, I never claimed to be an Israelite. Just because I'm black like some of the Israelites doesn't mean I am one. I'm not physically circumcised. Jesus split his blood so I don't have to. "He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” - Isaiah 53:5

  45.  @lefkytheshin  Tiye, Ahmose-Nefertari, Taharqa, and Karomama were obviously black. Even Ramses III was black. He came from the E1b1a haplogroup found ubiquitously throughout subsaharan Africa. So yes, some of the Ancient Egyptians were black. "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5

  46.  @giannis_toupolemou  Then your claim that the Egyptians are descendants of Phoenicians/Mesopotamians is false. Otherwise, Ramses III would not have a Sub-Saharan African haplotype. All empires are ethnically diverse but when we look at the specific haplotype of Egypt's elite throughout the 1st through 25th dynasties, like Tutankhamen, Tiye, Ramses III, Shemmai, Taharqa, etc. we see that they are in fact Native Africans. Not until later do we see the invasion of Assyrians and Greeks, leading to the collapse of Egypt.

You say "it feels like a moot point" but why are you letting feelings get in the way of logical thought? The song says nothing about his eyes or continental origin. It's talking about his skin color. Eye color and continental origin are irrelevant. Black is not synonymous with African. There's no "claim to fame" since Cheddar Man was a European. The song isn't claiming that the people are relevant or irrelevant. It's just presenting the facts. For centuries, Darwinism and Eugenics have excluded black people from European history so it's ok to now recognize the truth. "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5🙏🏾✝📖
