Hmmmm... I'll check it out sometime... my fiance was into that "Black Israelite" thing for a minute... my impression was that those ideologies contain some truth mixed with some feel-good wish fulfillment about being "chosen" and so forth... although it is certainly possible that the original Israelites were all Black... and quite probable that at least SOME of them were... I have yet to be convinced of any PROOF of this. Also irregardless of that I don't really feel any one people is more "chosen" than another, apart from being "chosen" by historical circumstances to be a spark and guiding light of the struggle, which I think Black people are... anyway I have no problem calling us (Black people) "Israel" without taking that entirely literally... I could talk more on that some other time if you want... Peace out
