You mean the teen who smirked at the elder who was being mocked by a gang of MAGA hat wearing teens for singing a traditional song?Topper wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 7:32 am Remember the uproar and vilification of the teen in a MAGA hat on a school field trip, who smiled when he was confronted by the aboriginal professional protester?
If you watched the video, there was a third group at the Lincoln Memorial that day who also confronted the school boys. The Black Hebrew Israelites were chanting racial violence against the children.
Mid December, two men, one affiliated with the Black Hebrew Israelites shot and killed five people at a Kosher deli in Jersey City. Another affiliate of the Black Hebrew Israelites stabbed 5 people during a machete attack at a Rabbi's house.
UK, your thoughts...
Yeah I remember the mention of the third group of black Hebrew Israelites who some blame for instigating the emotional standoff by baiting the shit-head hat wearing teens into a frenzy.
I confess that it pretty much was the first time I had really become aware of the religion, although I seem to remember some mention of them in popular culture before.
The lost tribe of Israel... I hadn’t heard of the incident you mention in New Jersey so I had to look it Up

Seems the incident is being treated as an act of domestic terror but one should careful to unfairly paint the entire movement as extremists.
It is a curious idea though, an identifiable group of descendants of slavery would reject White Christianity by adopting the claim that they are the long lost tribe.“There’s no such thing as ‘the’ Black Hebrew Israelites,” Weisenfeld, author of New World A-Coming: Black Religion and Racial Identity During the Great Migration, told Religion News Service. “There are lots of different theological and political orientations within that broader umbrella.”
There is some social psychology going on there.
