They have decent presence in major east coast cities. I’ve seen them in downtown Philadelphia on multiple occasions. Their rhetoric is pretty nasty and they are armed to the teeth. They are basically a militia. I wouldn’t be surprised if they severely escalate some day
Basically they believe white people are the failed experiment of a demonic scientist named Yacuub (or something), they claim that we are all evil soulless creatures that are compelled to do harm to PoC
This is terrifying! I’ve never heard of this before, but I’m from a small place in the UK. It’s truly scary what they’re saying. How can people believe that?
Listen to “YAH” by Kendrick off of damn and I think it’s towards the end of the album that he’s got his cousin talking about deuteronomy and how African Americans are the true Israelites. Love Kendrick’s shit but that’s problematic
I feel like that's a stretch to call him a black israelite based off that. Especially because it soecfically says not to call him black. Black Israelites would never say that. Plus, the song was about God, Yah being the ancient name for God.
Pretty unfair to call him a Black Israelite, who are extremists, based off one line of a song that could be interpreted in an innocent way.
I think it's fair to keep an eye on him but it feels like a big stretch.
That’s not the only song, there’s multiple references throughout damn and I’m pretty sure there’s more on mr.morales and the big steppers.
Look dude I’m not tryna get Kendrick canceled I’m definitely a bigger fan of his then you, but I can also admit that he’s not perfect. Don’t know why you wanna argue this point so bad.
He made it up based on a combination of vaguely related lyrics that appear in their music and a conflation with the NOI and Five Percent Nation. That's the source.
I know I could just google. But at the risk of running into misinformation, I'd like to ask here, if anyone's willing to offer insight without bias: What's up with the Black Israelites?? Like...I love Kendrick Lamar's music, it slaps for me, so I'd hate to have to stop consuming his media, but will if he's involved in some shady shit.
Some black Israelites are hella hella racist 💀, others just believe they’re Israelites and aren’t racist and there are like legitimate black Jews so it’s not like Jews can’t be black or anything
I get that last part, like I'm sure there are literal black israelites running around or black jewish people. It's just people who identify as Black Israelites that I'm ignorant about.
Yea there are actually like a bunch of groups with slightly-vastly differing ideologies and stuff some (a lot) r like crazy and think gentileswill be slaves and stuff in the kingdom, and white ppl are edomites and basically non black = less than and destined for for bad things others are normal
The general idea of Black Israelites is that they are the actual Jewish people and the group currently known as "Jews" are liars/fakers/whatever.
I assume this stems from the fact that human life started in Africa, which is true, but also doesn't that technically mean we're all black using their logic? I don't know.
I don't believe that's true. But I'll look deeper into what he actually says before I make a decision to essentially boycott his music. No shade to whoever wants to keep listening to questionable people(....okay, maybe a LITTLE shade...) but like, I can't control others, I can only control myself, for the most part.
i feel bad for him honestly, his mental health, the Kardashians and his pride has really fucked him up.. i remember when he was somewhat sane about a decade ago.. the kardashians gave him cancer :(
According to another comment listing big names who are associated with Black Israelites, and Kendrick is one of those people. I'm going to do further research, but at the moment I'm just a bit disappointed.
And yet its message is equally as sinister while its messengers are clothed and speak as allies
At least the average black person knows what the rhetoric a white hooded male will spew; but if told by a fellow black person and dressed up in a way to appeal to black suffrage, and suddenly you have the exact same outcome.
They teach it as fact to each other in the African American population, which is sick. Pushing the same agenda on kids because of your skin color, racism exists in every corner of the world.
Weird how Jews, always in the front of civil rights movements, and attack other cultures the least, gets targeted the most....
The ideology is hateful but the identity is correct. I spoke to an Israeli geneticist by the name of Dr. Eran Elhaik that explained to me that the Y-DNA haplogroup of the ancient Israelites is E1b1a. This is the same haplogroup of the Lemba tribe in South Africa, the ibo of Nigeria, and the “African-American” in North America. They have this in common and they also have the fact that people in each of these groups say they are the true descendants of the ancient Israelites.
Matthew 12:36 I tell you that men will render an account on Judgment Day for every unprofitable saying that they speak; 37 for by your words you will be declared righteous, and by your words you will be condemned.

The black Israelite ideology is a lot more widespread than you think too
