This is my hometown, the streets I walked most of my life. You can't go back home. Rabbi Baruch (Bernard) Poupko of blessed memory strolling "up the Avenue" in this intro. #Pittsburgh #SquirrelHill #MurrayAvenue
If a white person just sees Black, it may be because color is such a bigger thing in our families. My Aunt M had an auburn-haired son, a red-headed daughter, & a very blonde son. The daughter had green eyes, the younger son blue. My mother, when she wore her make-up, wore it so that she was not much lighter than the one who said she felt a white person was telling her she looked like a black blob. My mother's eyes were very dark olive. Her brother was much darker than her, yet the only one that spoke as if he could be prejudiced, I think. His son had red hair, & green eyes. His other son was much lighter, except for very dark hair. I think his daughter had very light eyes, but I'm not sure. My sister was born with WHITE hair, but brown eyes, & I was born with BLACK hair. One of my mom's sisters was super white, with super blonde hair & incredibly blue eyes, but both her children are probably the darkest of all the grandchildren. Color is a thing: auburn, red, blonde, white, which later became wheat blonde, black, olive, blue, green........it's all there. I The first year that I taught elementary is very memorable, in places, because 8 of my 10 students were Black. One of the white children wanted me to take her home each day. She was a very sweet child, but she was the youngest of 3, and I didn't really worry about her. I knew she'd probably be okay, with her very conventional family. The other white child was a different story, as her parents were getting a divorce. She got me in trouble, because I let three of them go to the bathroom together, and she had brought cigarettes. The two friends she took with her were, from my view, from perfect families. One was super sweet, and adorably dressed each day. She really was adorable. The other was taller, like her dad, who was a fireman. Another child was my favorite, maybe because she was picked on a little bit, because she was quiet. Her great big eyes would well up with tears, when the child with parents who were divorcing made a little peck at her....about something like her cute red tennis shoes. I honestly could not have loved the child with the cute red tennis shoes more, if she had been my own child. What seemed important, and what I noticed, wasn't their eye color or hair color, but their personalities. They all had very different personalities. Then, in memories, I'll remember the biggness of their eyes. Sometimes I'll remember a pug nose, very similar to the nose of my best friend, in elementary. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, if someone just sees black, or Black, they probably just haven't spent much time with Black people, yet. They still see like a child, like the child they were, when meeting their cousins: "You don't know he has green eyes?? Weird!!" Or, " Doesn't Lane look more like Aunt V's child, with the blonde hair [than Aunt M's child]"? You see? That's how we learn who they are. My family has so many different colors, that it took me awhile to figure out which ones were only related by marriage. It isn't obvious, at all. If someone just sees black, to me it's sort of like she's saying she's ignorant, or just hasn't seen that many people. You probably don't want to tell them that, because they probably haven't figured that out, yet, so they'll disagree. My sister refused to let my mother dye her hair blonde, in the 4th grade. She thought it insulted her, because she was beautiful, anyway. My mother ( & everyone) made such a big deal about her long blonde hair, that she shocked everyone ( except her husband) by cutting it all off, for her wedding. She was making a statement: "He doesn't love me because I was born blonde, or have beautiful hair, he loves ME". She was right. Everyone knew, though, that it had never really been about the beautiful, long hair, blonde or otherwise; she had a very pretty face, totally different from mine. They just had to re-think their image of her, and realize that there were many things that went into making her beautiful. White people are just used to being dumb: 'blondes have more fun' -type thing. It's so easy to sum up one cousin as a red-headed tom-boy, and another as something else. Black people, and my sister, challenge us to look BEYOND color. Whitney Houston is prettier than anyone in my family, and it doesn't have anything to do with her skin, hair, singing, or fitness. She is just Really Beautiful. The person who had a friend that just saw black either wasn't that smart, or hadn't had much exposure to black people. She'll get it, eventually....and probably wish she'd not been so dismissive of characteristics beyond color. The red, blonde, black, blue-eyed, brown-eyed thing is just so simple, but she's missing a whole lot out there. It's like a girl I met in Austin, TX, who thought College Station, TX was FLAT, just flat....and ugly. It took me back, for a moment. What about the big hill going up Texas Ave.? What about the trees lining the entrance to Texas A & M? What about the dense forest on the south side of Hwy 30? What about the ups & downs all over the place? What she was really saying is that she just thought we were a bunch of dumb hicks. I smiled. SHE WAS MISSING SO MUCH!!!!
I think Israel should've established itself in Ethiopia its a million times better the Israel in termes of landscape and the fertile land Ethiopia realy a wonderland
Would look pretty familiar to anyone who has ever been in an Eastern Orthodox Christian Church, I can see why they assumed it was an ancient Church before they found no icons of Christ and the Saints.
Why in the world would you leave Ethiopia for Israel? Are these people unfamiliar with the character of the Israelites and their Arabic cousins? Perhaps they should read their Bibles or Talmuds. Those people descend from a belligerent race called the Assyrians and Babylonians. They have been warring and destroying whole civilizations since time immemorial. They are renowned for displacing whole populations and dismantling their customs and beliefs then reassembling them with the intention of changing their identity. Abraham came from that race and behaved just like his ancestors. People need to research before they surrender to all sorts of nonsense.
1. Moses married Zippotah who was from the area of the Sanai and had Children. 2. Joseph married an Egyptian and also had children. That Progeny is blessed and apart of Israel's BLESSING.
Your vast oversimplification of Israeli history and inner ethnic diaspora issues/divisions is impressive…by the way can you show me any society without economic or inter-group divisions…people like you single out Jews due to your vitriol and hypocrisy
Black, white, colored, Arab, Persian, Asians and many other ethnic Jews is yet to be discovered. Search and you will find them. It cant be 10 million + in population. your history started long before any other race. I think Jews worldwide should be numbered around 100 million or more.
So beautiful. We really are a beautiful and diverse nation. Nation of Israel. Am Yisrael. Even though it may seem like we have enemies around every corner that want to eliminate us all. They want to snuff our light out. But they wont. Because our flame comes from Hashem. An everlasting flame. No matter what they do, we will be here. Bezrt Hashem we will survive. I know we will. We have for so long and will continue to. Am Yisrael Chi!
What good integration when many of the youths are mistreated by the Israeli police, and they are regarded and treated as second class citizens. SHAME ON YOU Ashkenazis.
Who told Jewish people that they are white and who said that ethiop hebrews people are not the original Jewish people. WHITE FOLKS STOP LYING ABOUT YOUR INFERIORITY!
Hello, shalom ! I am from Moscow, and my name is Sonya. I am half Jewish and half Russian woman. And i think that i can to be an Ethiopian woman too,is not it? I believe in legend of the king Solomon and the queen Sheba mixed and was born their son Ménélik.
The Ashkenazi are white converted khazars that choose Judaism around 800 AD They're not the original black biblical Hebrews The money the Rothschilds made selling opium was so great that they became even more addicted to the easy money than the opiate addicts to opium. The Rothschilds were the source of funding behind the settlement of the American colonies, establishing the Hudson Bay Company and other trading companies to exploit America's New World. It was the Rothschilds who ordered the mass extermination and genocide of the indigenous people of North America to enable the exploitation of the continent's vast natural resources. The Rothschilds followed the same trading model in the Caribbean and on the Asian subcontinent of India, resulting in the murder of millions of innocent people. The Rothschilds embarked on the international slave trade, an enterprise that viewed these kidnapped humans as mere animals - a vision the Khazarians would impose on all the people of the world who were not part of their evil circle, whom some called the “Old Black Nobility” : The Rothschilds' next major project was to start the global slave trade, buying slaves from corrupt chieftains in Africa, who collaborated with them to kidnap members of rival tribes and sell them as slaves. The Rothschild slave traders then took these kidnapped slaves in cramped cells on their ships to the Americas and the Caribbean, where they were sold. Many died at sea due to the bad conditions. The Rothschild bankers learned early on that war was a great way to double their money in a short time by lending money to both belligerents. But to ensure collection, they had to pass tax laws that could be used to enforce payment. The KM Rothschild Private Fiat Counterfeit Banksters plotted eternal vengeance against the American Colonists and Russia who assisted them for losing the Revolutionary War: When the Rothschilds lost the American Revolution, they blamed the Russian Tsar and the Russians. They swore eternal vengeance on the American settlers, just as they had done when the Russians and their allies crushed Khazaria in 1,000 AD. The Rothschilds and their English oligarchy that surrounded them plotted ways to take back America, and this became their main obsession. Their favorite plan is to set up a US central bank, with Babylonian money magic and secret counterfeiting. De Rothschild KM tries to retake America on behalf of the Khazarian mafia in 1812, but fails, again due to Russian interference: This failure enrages the Rothschild KM, and they again plot eternal vengeance against both the Russians and the American settlers and plan to infiltrate and hijack both nations and take their assets, tyrannize, and then expel both nations and their people en masse. to kill. The KM's attempts to establish a private US central bank are blocked by President Andrew Jackson, who calls them Satanic and vows to eradicate them by the grace and power of Almighty God. The Rothschild bankers regroup and continue their covert efforts to install their own Babylonian money-magic bank in America. Finally, in 1913, the Rothschild KM succeeds in establishing an important bridgehead within America - and an evil enemy of all Americans enters America's gates: In 1913, the Rothschild KM was able to establish a beachhead by bribing corrupt, treacherous members of Congress to pass the illegal, unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act on Christmas Eve, without the required quorum. The law was then signed into law by a corrupt, bribed president, who was a traitor to America, just like the members of Congress who voted for the law. The Rothschild KM then created an illegal tax system in America: The KM set up an illegal, unconstitutional tax system to make sure Americans would have to pay for high-level USG spending, approved by a bribed, dishonest Congress and puppets of the President, created by corrupt KM campaign financing. It's easy for the KM to amass enough money to elect whoever they want, because if you check a bank that's a secret big money counterfeiter, you've got all the money you want made for you. At about the same time as they set up their illegal tax system in America, they bribed members of Congress to approve the Internal Revenue Service, which is their private collection agency based in Puerto Rico. Soon after, they created the Federal Bureau of Investigation to protect their bankers, to cover up their cover-ups, and toprevent them from ever being prosecuted for their child sacrifice rituals, pedophile networks; and also to serve as a covert Intel operation on their behalf. Note that the FBI has no official charter, according to the Library of Congress, and does not exist or issue paychecks. The Rothschild KM deployed the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia to exact incredibly brutal, bloody revenge on innocent Russians, which they had plotted for many years since Khazaria was destroyed: The Rothschild KM staged the Russian Revolution by using its central banks to pay for the Bolshevik infiltration of Russia and their Revolution on behalf of the Khazarian Mafia (KM). In a well-planned brutal and inhumane bloodletting that stunned the world, the Bolsheviks were unleashed in full fury on behalf of the KM to exact revenge on the Russians. This had been planned since the destruction of Khazaria. The Bolsheviks, at the direction of the Rothschild KM, massively raped, tortured and murdered approximately 100 million Russians, including women, children and infants. Some of the torture and bloodletting were so extreme that we will not mention them here in this article. But readers who want to know can research the "Red Terror" or the "Bolshevik Cheka" or the classic movie "The Checkis" in depth on the Internet.
