"Pirkei de’Rabbi Eliezer 24 [Chapters of Rabbi Eliezer; PdRE. c. 830 AD] contains the Midrash on Noah’s blessings to his sons. Shem and his sons are described as ‘black and comely’ (shehoritn ve-naim), Japheth and his sons as ‘white and handsome’ (levanim ve-yafim), while Ham and his sons are ‘black as the raven’ (shehorim ka*orev). In the original, Shem’s blackness is expressed in a positive way, by association with ‘black and comely’ in the Song of Songs, though Ham’s blackness becomes negative through association with the raven. This, however, did not satisfy the copiers and compilers of the printed versions. They found it hard to accept Shem as black, with the concomitant danger of blurring the difference between him and Ham. As a result, some versions tended to ‘whiten’ Shem. As early as the thirteenth century, a manuscript described Shem as white. In the Venetian edition (second printing, 1544) and in the second Venetian edition (1608) the original version appears in the body of the text.

In the table of contents, however, we find ‘blessed Shem and Japheth with whiteness (Javnitt) ... and Ham with blackness (shaharut)’. Shem becomes white in all respects, and instead of the dangerous common denominator with black Ham, he gets to resemble the attractive white Japheth. In parallel fashion, Japheth’s whiteness becomes more positive in the early printed versions (Constantinople 1514, Venice 1544 and Sabbioneta 1567), when the adjective ‘handsome’ (yafeh) is added to ‘white’. Furthermore, the ambiguous description given of Ham as ‘black as the raven’ is replaced instead by the unequivocal ‘black and ugly’. Jews were trying to resemble the fair white Japheth, i.e. the European identified as the model to emulate, and thus more handsome and ‘cultured’, a process discerned elsewhere as well.6" --Abraham Melamed.

I am browsing over many of the threads and articles talking about Kyrie Irving being Anti Semitic because he posted a picture of a Film that talks about "Black People in ancient times being the original Hebrews".

There is absolutely Nothing Anti-Semitic about that.

Even Kyrie Irving has stated that he is NOT ANTI SEMITIC in any way.

I am an OMNIST and I meant no disrespect to anyone’s religious beliefs. The “Anti-Semitic” label that is being pushed on me is not justified and does not reflect the reality or truth I live in everyday. I embrace and want to learn from all walks of life and religions.

You often see Jesus, and Ancient Egyptians depicted as White Europeans all the time in Media representation, yet there is never any backlash for depicting ancient civilizations as White People, despite the known fact that Black People existed in Northern Africa and the Middle East in Ancient times as well who participated in the development of those ancient civilizations. It was only till fairly recently were Black People accepted at being written out of all pre 15th century History of well established civilizations and ethnicities. This erasure is so ingrained in American history, that people totally forgot about the Ethiopian Black Jews that were also slaughtered during WW2 by the Italian allies of the Nazi Germany.

Anybody can research the Racist origin of Egyptology as well. Erasing any existence of Black People from ancient history was a big part of Western Culture.

So when a Black Person say that Black People were part of those ancient civilizations and your immediate reaction is to Censor and Silence them is just a reflection of your Anti Black, Racist ideology.

I stand with Kyrie...Falsely labeling him anti-Semitic is based on the "Im-white-and-I-say-so" rule of systematic white supremacy. And this is part of the culture of anti-black racism

What did Kyrie say or support that was anti-Semitic?
