It's much more than Ben Ammi's followers now though. They are deporting Black Muslims who are from Sudan. I think they are hastening an attack from the Muslim world.
In the Spirit of Sankofa, ... Without a doubt, the original group has enlarged tremendously; just giving credit to the man that carried out his vision 46 years ago. Peace In,
Shalom Uvrakha! Definitely appreciate this drop, fam. Its very important in these days that people innerstand, as you pointed out, that there is quite a bit of difference between us and "Black Hebrew Israelites". No offense to any of my brothers in any of those "camps" but it is a well kept secret that most major Israelite groups came to prominence AFTER 1966, yet it seems to be that certain elders copied our format and altered a few subtle nuances to present a "new thing", oftentimes maligning us with no provocation in the process. I am just glad that there are people like you who know the difference and know that we are about restoring African/Edenic glory to our people and to the Land(s) from which we originate. The major difference with us that I think is a good model is that His Excellency Ben Ammi lives right amongst us with no huge mansion, no car and no jewelry. Unlike others, his goal is to equip us to make even bigger moves than he did in 1966- in essence working to make his position unnecessary! Right now we are engaged in a relationship with all the heads of the indigenous Africans in the Holy Land to set new policies in the Land and make sure our voices are heard in unity. We are also very active in the rest of the African/Edenic landmass- from Ghana to South Africa. We are hidden, obscured and targeted by slanderers for a reason. With all the fatmouthing some do about the "big, bad Zionists", we were the only ones to actually enter the Land, tell them who we are, tell them they are NOT that and live to tell the story. Here is a clip fro back in the days where they tried to oust us. There is an event recorded called the Day of the Show of Strength on youtube. This makes us getting granted permanent residency a more robust tone as we have never capitulated to what they would define us as- even in the face of violent opposition...
Thanks for the update. I'm reading this late.mixed reaction. One one hand it is good to see some Brethren finally recognized. On the other hand, joining the Israeli military to wage war against Palestinians and Africans? I dunno about that one.
Well, I guess that depends on whether their desire to be granted some kind of "acceptance/approval/legitimacy" through legal "citizenship" and/or military service out-weighs/precludes any "allegiance" to other Africans/African-descendants?? ...How much, if any, does their "spiritual beliefs" and "racial identity" war against each other?? ....Is their "identity" more closely tied to being "Hebrew" or being "Black?" (although, yes, some say the 2 are 1 in the same) I'm not sayn...Just some things that might make ya go, "Hmmmm."
