daniellefgny simply worships Trump as a god. Nothing one says, no financial or news report nor any admission from a Republican will dissuade him. He actually believes that every thing was perfectly okay during Trump's time in office and wants him back there. Trump owns the worst economic record in history

Over the years, I've encountered many individuals who remain curious about who was Black in the Bible. A lot of them spout legends and myths are absolute falsehoods. Some even mention individuals who actually never appear in the Scriptures. So I did research and here are my findings. When compiling this data, I incorporated the claims made on different Websites and by individuals. I chose to stick with only what I found in the Bible. This way, I would not codify legends, myths and feel good tales. That's how we ended up with a White Jesus. One of the things that stood out is that the Bible rarely mentions the skin color of individuals, despite widespread belief to the contrary. 1) Some believe the Queen of Sheba was named Makeda and that she was Black. But there is no mention of Makeda in the Bible. The Queen of Sheba is indeed mentioned in the Bible throughout the 10th Chapter of 1st Kings. But she is neither identified, nor described. Nor is the location of her queendom's location given. But the Scriptures do indicate the Queen of Sheba did bring immense treasures in gold, precious stones and spices to King Solomon after hearing how God blessed this ruler with incredible wisdom. 2) Zipporah was definitely Black and she was the Cushite wife of Moses. How do we know Cushites were Black? ( I got a lot of blowback about this from non-Blacks, which I ignored ). Let's deal with what The Bible says. Well in the Bible Book of Numbers, the brother and sister of Moses took issue with Moses' choice of a wife. "And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married: For he had married a Cushite woman." (Num. 12:1). Some translations use Ethiopian instead of Cushite. I also believe this is the first Biblical reference to an interracial marriage. At Jeremiah 13:23, it reads: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?" Judging from the color of a leopard's spots, it is easy to discern that the skin color Jeremiah is referring to is Black. 3) The claim that Pharaohs were Black cannot be proven. Because the Bible never identifies the skin color of Egyptians during the time of Exodus. If you run into anyone who claims the Bible does this, ask them to show you the scripture. The oft-repeated claim that Egypt and Ethiopia are one is untrue. The Bible does indeed mention Africa, but it does so by specifically noting exact regions of the continent, such as Egypt or Cush. And remember, the Bible rarely identifies skin color. Instead, the Bible usually denotes a geographic area, tribe or lineage. Notable exceptions include the young man from the Song of Solomon who fell in love with a Black girl. The young man is identified as having a ruddy complexion. (Song of Solomon 5:10) 4) When it comes to Ham, take care to recall that the Bible rarely identifies skin color. And so it is with Ham, one of the three sons of Noah. Ham's complexion is never noted in the Bible. So, how could someone claim he was Black? Now, Cush, a grandson of Noah, and a son of Ham, is thought by serious Bible scholars to be the Father of the Black race. I will also note that it was Caanan and not Cush, who was cursed by Noah for uncovering his grandfather's nakedness. (Gen. 9:24-26) 5) Nimrod was described in the Bible as "a mighty hunter in opposition to the Lord." He is a Son of Cush. (1st Chronicles 1:10) The rabbinical writings derived the name Nimrod from the Hebrew verb ma•radhʹ, meaning “rebel.” There is so much confusion among some Blacks over Nimrod. Some think of him as a hero. But the Bible merely claims Nimrod was a rebel against God. Thus, the Babylonian Talmud (Erubin 53a) states: “Why, then, was he called Nimrod? Because he stirred up the whole world to rebel (himrid) against His [God’s] sovereignty.” — Encyclopedia of Biblical Interpretation, by Menahem M. Kasher, Vol. II, 1955, p. 79. Now, I don't know about you. But I never want to be on the side of someone who is a rebel against The Almighty. 6) In the Bible, Hagar is described as Sarah’s Egyptian maidservant; and later, Abraham’s concubine and the mother of Ishmael. Again, some Black people are taking much liberal license by claiming everyone in Egypt was Black. Remember, the Bible identifies Egypt and Ethiopia separately. Were there dark skinned Egyptians during the time of Abraham and Sarah? Probably, but no one can say for certain. But if you look at some dark skinned indigenous Egyptians alive today, there seems to be a great possibility. But was Hagar's skin dark? The Bible does not say. So, one must not make assumptions that it was. 7) Asenath, is supposed to be the daughter of an Egyptian priest. Again, no description of this woman is given in the Bible. So, one cannot call her Black. Tirhaka, also known as Taharga, was indeed Black and he did have an army of chariots who came to the aid of Israelite King Hezekiah. The Israelite king had launched a revolt against Assyrian King Sennacherib. Tirhaka is also identified as Pharaoh Taharqa, so he was linked to Egypt. However, the dates generally assigned by modern historians to Tirhaka's rule do not match up with Biblical chronology. By the way, the revolt failed. Sennacherib's forces kicked the living crap out of Hezekiah's and Tirhaka's armies, according to the Bible. An Assyrian inscription, though not mentioning Tirhakah, indicates that Sennacherib defeated the forces that came from Egypt and captured “the charioteers of the king of Ethiopia.” The next Assyrian king, Esar-haddon, boasted about his conquest of Egypt, saying: “Its king, Tirhakah, I wounded five times with arrow shots and ruled over his entire country.” During the reign of Esar-haddon’s son and successor Ashurbanipal, Tirhakah revolted against submission to Assyria. But, according to Ashurbanipal, “the terror of the (sacred) weapon of Ashur, my lord, overcame Tirhakah where he had taken refuge and he was never heard of again.” — Ancient Near Eastern Texts, edited by J. Pritchard, 1974, pp. 287, 288, 290, 295. 9) Zerah, the Cushite. Zerah is described in the Bible to be an Ethiopian, or Cushite, who led a huge army of a million men and 300 chariots into Judah during Asa’s reign, in 967 B.C.E. However, Zerah was defeated, and his fleeing forces were pursued and slaughtered “as far as Gerar.” (2nd Chronicles 14:1, 9-15) 10) Eded-melech was an Ethiopian eunuch in the house of King Zedekiah. Though Ethiopian, Ebed-melech worshiped the God of the Israelites. When the princes of Judah falsely charged the Prophet Jeremiah with sedition, Zedekiah threw him into a cistern to die without food. Ebed-melech appealed to Zedekiah to save Jeremiah and later with 30 men, he pulled God’s prophet from the cistern and saved his life. God told Ebed-melech he would not die in the coming siege of Jerusalem by Babylonian forces, but would escape. 11) ) Symeon is another Black man in the Bible. He was from Niger, in Africa. (Acts 13:1). Symeon was an early believer in Jesus, the Christ. There is no indication that Symeon carried the wood that Jesus was impaled upon. Symeon is also one of the prophets and teachers of the congregation in Antioch, Syria, who laid their hands on Barnabas and Paul after the Holy Spirit had designated these two for missionary work. Symeon’s Latin surname was Niger. If anyone has the name of another individual thought to be Black and in the Bible, let's check it out.

Dude, it is the National Association of Black Journalists. I was a member back in the day.

The scripture is found at Genesis 3:15 and has nothing to do with Moses, except that he wrote the first five books of the Bible, including Genesis. I am pretty sure Moses wrote the Book of Job, too. "And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He will crush your head, and you will strike him in the heel.” (Genesis 3:15) The "He" in this scripture" is Jesus and the one who is bruised in the heel. The one who is bruised in the head (likely signifying a fatal blow), is Satan, the Devil. Enmity is friction, a serious difference of opinion. The woman of course is Eve, who was deceived by Satan. "After this Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to become the mother of everyone living." So no children had yet been born from Earth's first couple. Incidentally, if you read the Book of Luke, this Apostle lists the lineage of Jesus all the way back to Abraham and beyond to Adam. While the Apostle Matthew traces the lineage back to just Abraham. Eve's "seed" or her descendants, led to the birth of Jesus. Satan's seed are "the sons of disobedience," angels who decided that God has no right to rule. They are not Satan's literal sons. It will take a whole lot of scripture searching, going back and forth to connected and related texts, to get the full understanding of Genesis 3:15. However, if you're just interested in this as an academic exercise, it might be best to sit with or converse with an individual with significant Bible knowledge. Canaan, one of the grandsons of Noah, committed a vile act against his grandfather who had gotten drunk and was naked and was cursed and condemned by Noah who foretold that Canaan's offspring would become servants to his brothers. I have never heard of Moses having a vision of Slaves, Slavery or Slave Ships. White Supremacy? What if I told you that the Bible rarely mentions an individual's skin color, but usually denotes a region. And I can prove it.

I do not believe I am. Herschel Walker sounds completely clueless at times. What the GOP really wants him for is to be an understated, but firm counter to Black Thought and Black Pride. Walker gives the GOP cover for their ubiquitous race hatred. If he wins, we'll see this. But the party is probably a bit baffled by how bad Walker is on the stump.

Your twice-impeached heroic dude just growled that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "was always causing trouble." Yeah, well, that's what one does when they believe in Free and Fair Elections and of course, Democracy. They defend such things. Good thing you're not in charge, Trump. And it's becoming clear that more and more voters are finally beginning to recognize you're nothing but a liar and a fraud. So, you can go back to playing bad golf with your conscience-less pals and whispering to any Russian agent within earshot to send WNBA star to Siberia because "she's spoiled and makes a lot of money." By the way, Lord Dampnut, what do you think of Paul Whelan? You're only the second POTUS to ever leave the Oval Office with less people working than when you first entered. But we know, we know, we know. It's Obama's fault.

What makes you think I take him seriously? I don't read his garbage. I don't read half the people who think they can write on here. I just see his nickname and wonder why he's still allowed to post his drivel. BTW, I've been watching Women's Track and Field for decades. Always loved their appearances.

Yes, I watched part of the competition. We are phenomenal. I am curious why some continue to respond to that individual. You're wasting your time. He or she was probably invited here and enjoys the backing of a few. Self-hating Black people are everywhere. Their views are ingrained in them. But what makes you think that dude is Black? The price Black haters have to pay for disrupting a Black discussion forum is cheap. Just place one mediocre writer into the mix and many stop thinking ... believing they're doing their Race proud by engaging that individual. Wrong. People like that waste your time and keep you from noticing what is really important. Russian troops dominating Sudan and employing a phony company to extract its mineral wealth to fund its vicious invasion of Ukraine. Ethiopia being apparently reluctant to bring home prisoners freed from Saudi Arabian jails. Pharmaceutical companies reluctant to manufacture enough vaccines for the stupidly named Monkeypox virus, which is spreading, mutating and now killing people. What demographic appeared to be the last one to be thought of during the Covid 19 pandemic? A Chinese transplant in Africa producing videos to poke racist fun at Black children. He's on trial now in Malawi, accused of this as well as child trafficking.

@ProfD Some folks are questioning the claim that none of al-Zawahir's family were injured. But you notice, there were no immediate frenzied screams of horror or reports that the U.S slaughtered his family. The problem with most in the U.S. is that they are used to hearing about Israel striking targets from the air and with drones and taking out multiple individuals. So they have been conditioned to expect several casualties, even if folks had stopped by for tea. But these days, Israeli soldiers have been known to target individuals by gunfire and that includes, journalists, teenagers, even U.S. citizens. The Israel Defense Force can count on hundreds of reporters, editors, bloggers and knee-jerk defenders all over the Internet. It started when the IDF murdered Rachel Corrie, who was trying to stop the demolition of a Palestinian's family home, with a bulldozer in April 2003. Just imagine if Black Americans enjoyed that kind of broad support on the Internet. Instead, we have to suffer having so many of us agree with racist Republicans and swallow Trump's lies that he won the 2020 election "by a lot." Kinda sad. But a lot of us are self-hating. The U.S. has been taking out terrorists by drones for a long while now. Except during the time of Trump, who seemed to concentrate only on killing Iranians who were visiting other countries.

Biden this, Biden that, it's Biden's fault, Biden should have done this, Biden should have done that ... Every succeeding generation needs a stronger dose of Ex-Lax.

Actually, if your forum has been the target of Black Race haters for more than a month then there's something wrong with the people who permit it. You need to be able to figure out who hates your people no matter what name they use or how they portray themselves.

Troy, I have no idea what you're going on about.

I will not put down or show disdain for another's belief in a Supreme Being. However, if their philosophy is self-centered or racist, I will say something.

You must remember, that Herschel Walker is viewed by Trump fans and other racists as a colored overseer of uppity Negroes. He can be counted on to keep those mouthy darkies in their place. This blind disdain for Democrats on the part of many Blacks has brought us to this point in history. This is what constant brainwashing accomplishes. You eventually turn against your own and become loyal to the following mindset: An insane belief that Donald Trump, whose entire history is full of nothing but nasty and insulting putdowns of Black people, could actually be an ally. Remember, the people who opposed me were the same folks who claimed there was no more White Supremacy. And I had to beat them over their friggin' heads with links to news story after news story. Yeah, it's gotten THAT bad.

Never count out Democrats! Because it was TWO Democratic Presidents who have struck the most devastating blows against this country’s most intractable opponent: al Qaeda. First, after Dubya failed in seven years to even find him, it took President Barack Obama to order U.S. Special Forces to strike and take out Osama bin Laden and snatch his body to prove it. And two days ago, President Joe Biden ordered a drone strike which obliterated bin Laden's successor Ayman al-Zawahiri. Methinks Joe, might be on to something here. Because during his presidency. Barack Obama was a true U.S. Commander-in-Chief, killing terrorist after terrorist and nary breaking a sweat. Then after bumbling Donald Trump spent most of his time telling lies 50 times a day and licking the backside of Vladimir Putin, all 45 could do come up with was a silly agreement with the Taliban to withdraw all U.S. troops by May 31, 2021. But what Lord Dampnut didn’t want anyone to know was that the Taliban has suddenly increased its attacks against U.S. troops and goodness, gracious - allowed the al Qaeda to come back into the country. This forced President Joe Biden to delay the withdrawal, which of course he was attacked vociferously for. But Joe Biden got the troops home - to the chagrin and rage of Lord Damput fans. And Biden didn’t stop there. He ordered the CIA and NSA to keep plugging away. You know, because Democratic Presidents don’t give up and actually stay the course. And golly, the CIA hit another jackpot: al-Zawahiri . Oh, and don't forget, Lord Dampnut does not think Brittney Griner should come home. He calls her spoiled and said that she makes a lot of money. Actually she dosen't, which is why she had to play in Russia because she can make more money overseas than in the U.S. which does value women athletes in the same manner as males. And Black women are on the bottom. Lord Dampnut does not understand that Brittney is a CIVILIAN HOSTAGE. Much like Laura Ling (Lisa Ling's sister) and Euna Lee who had wandered into North Korea territory from China by accident and spend 180 days there before Bill Clinton managed to get them released. Two years before, Lisa Ling had produced a non-flattering documentary about North Korea - which does not forgiven insults. So, while Lord Dampnut got fatter, continues to play bad golf and makes deals with Saudi Arabia, the country that sent most of the 9-11 hijackers, this turkey even had the nerve the make this claim about 9-11 “nobody’s gotten to the bottom of it.” Actually, we have. Gotta love Joe Biden. Even when feeling ill, this President kicks ass. So, al Qaeda’s down two leaders. That’s two for Dems and zero for Republicans. But … there’s always bitcoin.

I've only been preaching Unity to group since ... forever.

@Troy Oh, I forgot, O Mighty One! I'm a troll. I happen to be right. I don't give a crap about what rules the legal profession is allowed to make or break. They are not gods and often, depending on the circumstances (in this case decades of time), they cannot accomplish tasks that we believe they must. Because if they could... go back to my comment. Yes, a Discussion Forum exists to elicit the free flow of ideas, proposals and opinions. But at the the moment, the theme is "All Black men are killers and mass shooters." So, what about White Supremacy? Does it exist?

He really dosen't care. He is chortling. His slanted and insulting race posts make him feel superior.

Ever get the feeling you're wasting your time trying to convince people who refuse to read ALL the news that they have blinders on? Still think this guy is Black?

@ProfD Been to New York City lately?

I am doing my part in exposing those who love Trump without reservations for the dullards they are. Trump is a friggin' idiot and a racist. His quote definitely proves he's no brainiac. Thankfully, there are so many in the news media who recognize what a threat to Life and Liberty Trump poses. They are the ones who write these stories. And they are important. Remember how many posters on here called Biden old, senile and stupid? Well, I'm a forceful reply to that nonsense. Because few can prove that Trump is intelligent. And what would you say to anyone who believes someone this dumb should lead the U.S? Many die-hard Trump supporters swear that if their hero was in the White House, Putin would not have invaded Ukraine. Really? If Trump is that important to Putin, why dosen't Trump ask the Russian leader to allow Brittney Griner to come home? The truth is that Black Trump supporters lie about the dangerous clown that Trump actually is. And since the fool may want to run for the White House again, people such as myself are duty bound to remind the world just how stupid the guy really is. There are thousands of others performing the same task in news media around the world and in countless news forums and discussion groups everywhere. Because as he was in 2016, Trump continues to be a clear and present danger to Black People around the world.

Marjorie Taylor Greene goes full kook with mass shooting conspiracy Yup, folks. That the headline on a story about resident Republican crazy woman MTG who thinks "Bill Gates wants you to eat his fake meat that grows in a peach tree dish." MTG believes these mass shootings are part of a Democratic Party plot to force Americans accept gun control. Um, I don't believe the Lord could do that. Well, it's official now: Republicans are the Insane Party of Governance. Marjorie Taylor Greene has a strange conspiracy theory about July 4th Mass Shooting

When Coleman Young was Mayor of Detroit, the overwhelming majority of Black voters supported Democratic candidates. Just look at the turncoats on this discussion board, using every excuse they can to defend White Supremacists and the pretend Black people who castigate our race ad nauseum. And then excoriate those who defend and uplift Black Folks. Every act of violence committed us against brings a smile to their face. Coleman Young would never approve.

This is why giving everybody a gun is a terrible idea.

Let's get back to Trump, who is the god for many people in these forums. This thread is not about Bill Clinton.
