Just driving to work I see several "Black Israelite" billboards in prime real estate so they are getting in the mainstream. I have never heard of this documentary though, I kind of want to watch it out of morbid curiosity. But, I would never buy it (they don't need more money). |

I haven't followed the story. Has Kyrie made anti-Semetic comments recently are was he just promoting a film that does? At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | ostensibly the latter, since he has complained he doesn't deserve the antisemitic charge. I think a lot of the Af/Ams like the premise that they are the true chosen people, or people of God if you like, and aren't bothered by the attending antisemitic content, which is real boilerplate stuff. Others dig it, notably Kanye it would seem I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | the boilerplate stuff: "To support its claims, the film cites statements from prominent antisemites and notorious antisemitic texts as supposed evidence of the “true” nature and identity of Jewish people. For example, the film includes passages from Henry Ford’s “The International Jew” and two purported (though seemingly fabricated) quotations from Adolf Hitler. The film also advertises the book on which it is based, which features even more explicit antisemitism, including quotes from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a longer passage of Holocaust denial, attacks on Zionism, conspiratorial claims about the Rothschilds and more. " also " claims that Jews control the media" and were involved in the notorious African slave trade As a specific differentiation from boilerplate, the film "disputes the identity of modern Jews, claiming they are “religious converts” who descended from the Khazars and have no historical connection to the land of Israel." and " that Jews falsified the history of the Holocaust in order to “conceal their nature and protect their status and power.” Specifically, "modern Jews are imposters who stole the religious heritage of Black people and have engaged in a “cover-up” to prevent Black people from knowing their “true” identity." ... this is certainly unique https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/hebrews-negroes-what-you-need-know I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 27 Posts: 4236 | Antisemitism is a strange thing that is one of the only points that link the far left and the far right. I would argue the problem is worse on the right (especially because I count extreme-Islam as a right-wing ideology, and Antisemitism is baked into the Islamist world, to the point where they make the KKK look benign on the topic....). But, it's one of the few points where you will see communists, Islamists, the KKK, and Nazis all saying the same thing.... Its probably the oldest conspiracy theory in the world going to the middle ages (and actually earlier) where people think "The Jews" secretly run everything and use magic (or now technology) to influence humans.... |
