Are American Jews "White"? Starting with the Virginia Slave codes of 1705 (which specifically mention the Jews) we will explore the complexities of Jewish identity, how Jewish immigrants were perceived in the 20th century and why "eating ham for Uncle Sam" changed everything.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?

You’re not reading between the line. The Biblical indigenous Jews are the Native Indians and Negroes per Bible and history. Some were considered Muslims /infidels / Moors since the days of Mohammad or Christians by being forcibly converted to Christianity during the Crusades and Inquisition in Europe before they were expelled lastly out of Europe by the Alhambra Edict in 1492. The ones that refused were onsidered “ infidels”. That’s why you see the Virginia slave codes under the👉🏻 “ Negro slaves because they are the ethnic Judeans, the true Jews. Your grandparents knew exactly that they were taken the ethnic Jews of Judea into slavery in the Atlantic Slave Trade in the 1400- 1800s. The converted Khazar Jews by King Bulan were the slave masters of the Negro indigenous Native Black skin Jews and bought the slave ships that carried the Negro Jews to the Americas. Look up “ Negroland Kingdom of Judah map” from West Africa. Or look up the Jews / Negroes that were expelled from Spain/ Portugal in 1492 whom in the Christian “Papal Bull” by Pope Nicholas V that called them Negroes AKA Moors AKA infidels and sent Columbus to the “ New World “ which is America and also to go get them in Africa. The Black slave codes put “Jews” in there because the Jews there is talking about the Native Indians and Negroes Which share the same complexion and phenotype and both are Black and were slaves.

*According to the Hebrew Yisraelite scriptures in Revelation 2:9, 3:9 etc the ones in the world who are globally viewed as the real people of God are not, they are the Khazars & the Ashkenazis incognito, or in disguise. Also according to the Hebrew Yisraelite scriptures when the REAL descendants of the12 tribes, or sons of Yisrael there will not only be peace in the middle east, there will be peace globally, which is yet even more undeniable proof the ones in the world who are globally viewed as the real people of God are not.*
*Since the REAL descendants of the 12 tribes of Yisrael (posted on the 'about' section of my channel) are not back in Jerusalem there is war not only in the middle east, but also war globally.*
My mother, who is Jewish, used to pass a sign at a pool (in the 1960s) that said “No Jews, no dogs). My mother and her brothers had a hard time assimilating because they were “dark skin Jews” and experienced occasional discrimination. My mother had me with a black man, so I’m a Jew of color. I’ve never felt welcome at majority white synagogues. White Jews talk a big game about their solidarity with black people, as long as those black people stay outside the building. It was interesting growing up seeing the inner tension of my relatives. They desperately wanted to assimilate (a lot of them got nose jobs) but couldn’t quite.
Not surprising at all. Hate culture is prevelant throughout all categories of Europeans/Caucasians..
I have experienced the differences with synagogues. It definitely depends on which one you go to and the states. The most welcoming synagogue I went to was conservative. Always wonderful.
Yes omgosh. my 1st cousin came out dark - looked JUST LIKE her mother!! but she was mistreated by her mother and father - her blonde sister got 20+ gifts for holidays and she only got 2…. It took me going through family photos carefully and using old woman wisdom (in my sixties)… to figure this stuff out…. heinous hatred and even worse- self-hatred
why didn't she come to israel? real question.
@@TheMeowizerwhy would that matter? She and I both have spent time in Israel. We have family there. My parents have some crazy stories of what Israel was like in the 70’s. My dad and I’s experience is that Israelis have gradually adopted the racist attitudes of Americans.
I liked when Danielle mentioned "Strategic racism" because that is best definition used to discriminate against many groups of people, while keeping them divided with different levels of racial discrimination and exploitation.. A form of divided hate for some to feel better than the others from top to bottom..
@etruscancivilization..Well said, that what the White american power structure did. You can clearly see deep down White Americans never really hated Black Americans it was a top down approach to make sure white americans ''feel better'' to non-whites but that was not the reality. It was all strategic racism to keep people divided.
It's known as a caste system.
@@traeucity6087 The caste system is different from the American "Strategic" Racism system, in that the Caste system such as the one in INDIA is based solely on discrimination of of its own people of the same race/ethnicity and not racism, which is just as oppressive as the American system based solely on Racism and Ethnocentrism, with the dominant white government approving institutional racism which offer special privileges to the white majority population, while maintaining a racial divide among the other oppressed citizens who are not white.
@@etruscancivilization , India was not the only country with a caste system. Both the Portuguese and the Spanish established caste systems in the Americas, that were meant to divide people of African ancestry, people of Native ancestry and people of European ancestry; eventually leading to the ethnic cleansing, via white washing or Blanqueamiento, of people of African descent from countries like Argentina and Brazil.
@@traeucity6087 I agree with you regarding the Racist/Caste system used by the Portuguese/Spanish in the Americas.. Also, the same can be said about South Africa where the Caste system based on racism also permitted better job opportunities, educational facilities, and housing for so-call "COLORED" people who would be classified as Black race in the USA.. That is another example of "STRATEGIC RACISM" which provided better opportunities for MIXED Blacks and EAST INDIANS to make them feel better than Blacks, thus divided and not UNITED to challenge their oppressors...✔✔
If you are going to tell it at all, you are right to tell it as it was. Yes it was ok for Black People to fight and die for this country but they were denied usage of the GI Bill. It all has to do with keeping their feeling of superiority. As usual they have got it backward.
I talked about the GI Bill in this video, it will get it's own video soon though
No many country's have done it to blacks south America example Agentina got rid of most their blacks by sending to war with a promise to better treatment same with America blacks fought in ALLLLL the wars only to not get 40 acres & mule after civil war Jim crow no payment after Gi bill and still 20yrs after that still ask the same people for civil rights " CAN YOU BE CIVIL TO ME PLS " and many white passing to some degree got it no hate just truth.
I'm Irish on my dad's side of the family and Hebrew on my mom's. Neither one used to be considered white. There used to be signs posted saying "No Jews Allowed" and "No Irish Need Apply."
Where at?

That's fucked up! Coming from a black man!
But in the end they got certification leg up labelled white they worked the police force and done their dirt LEGALLY as well as illegal keep it real lol Also they were also over see'ers during slavery, This is only just America I havent mentioned west Indies All facts no hate Why you think you got black called EDDY MURPHY! SHAQUILLE O'NIEL???? its because you owned some black people. lol
Blacks used to be hired BEFORE the Irish.
I had an incident which really surprised me. Living in a small midwestern town, everyone at work was ready to bomb Iraq for suspicion of having weapons of mass destruction. This was before the President had made a decision. People were very angry at me because I was urging caution. A very attractive blonde said to me, "Well, you're not an American anyway." I was surprised and discussed with her how I was born in the United States and loved my country, the United States of America. It turned out my Jewishness excluded me from being a real American according to her way of thinking.
Talk about dumb blonde😂

I worked with a Jewish woman whose son was white skinned and with curly/frizzy hair. Her daughter was light brown skinned and could have been mistaken for an African American woman. When I first saw her daughter's picture, I asked her who she was and she told me the girl was her friend's daughter. She later told me this was on fact her daughter and that she was denied a teaching position in Germany because the school thought her daughter was African American.
How long ago did this occur?

In the 1980s
The word African is derived from a Edomite roman word Africanus. aboriginal America are not African they were ENSLAVED in America. Africa was enslaved by Portuguese and Americans by Catholic Church by Spanish inquisition.
Pope Alexander VI issues a papal bull or decree, “Inter Caetera," in which he authorizes Spain and Portugal to colonize the Americas and its Native peoples as subjects. The decree asserts the rights of Spain and Portugal to colonize, convert, and ENSLAVE.

Maybe was she a North African jew?
Yup. We are hated all over the world and if you ask them why they hate us, they can’t answer.
The white converted Jews by King Bulan were not slaves in America ; so the slave codes of Virginia had nothing to do with them. Per history, the Virginia Slave codes . Pg 450. Was referring to the ethnic Native Indians and Black Jews who were the slaves in America. You were just never taught that they , the slaves are the real bloodline descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob : the Northern and Southern Kingdom of Israel . Your grandparents knew that but too bad you weren’t taught that . Do the history in Ancient books before the 20th century.
Yup these so called Jess in America are imposters (Khazars) not the original true Jew!

Sometimes I feel like every single thing the US has ever done -- every category shift, every conversation, even the implementation of every fight for justice -- has been aimed at making sure that no diverse alliances like the one behind Bacon's Rebellion ever happen again. 😕
Bingo. The only alliance that was encoraged was between workers and company owners.
No they have diversity to stop the Alliances
@@artsylovelylady And the discouragement comes from both sides of the supposed political spectrum, too.
@jcortese3300 How so? I get what you're saying about the conservative side but how do liberals discourage respect and shared goals across ethnic lines?
@@artsylovelylady There's a very common Catch-22 that takes place when the topic of alliances is discussed. I've experienced it too many times to count. Someone who is what I call "dark white" expresses the slightest solidarity and understanding with African Americans and is told we have no idea what it's like to be on that side of the fence, and the fact that we think we can is a symptom of our blinkered racism. "Check your privilege!" we're told.
And if we say that we can't understand what that oppression is like but want to express a sense of alliance, we're then told that we're stiff-arming them and that that's a symptom of racism and that we should once again "check our privilege."
Believe me when I say there is no acceptable way to express this. We're either laying claim to a lived experience we can't possibly understand because we are ignorantly racist, or we are stiff-arming a lived experience that we do have something in common with because we are actively racist. There is absolutely no way for ethnic "dark whites" to square that circle. We've tried. The responses are as predictable as the sunrise.
Put plainly, the goalposts are moved every single time -- often in mid-conversation or even mid-sentence -- in just the right way to prevent everyone from forming a truly powerful alliance. African Americans are understandably skeptical, and "woke" white allies feel threatened that someone else they see as white is trying to wrestle the tiara of "wokest white ally in the room" away from them.
For its part, the right does nothing to interrupt this because instead, their response is to go up to the working class "dark whites" and say, "See? They don't care about you, do they?" Of course, the right doesn't care, either. They've gotten filthy rich hollowing out the manufacturing sectors and the economic possibilities of the working classes. They don't want a powerful alliance, either.
Sorry for the tl;dr but there isn't really a way to shorten this. It's just impossibly depressing.
The comment section is a lot less of a hot mess than I would have expected. I hope this means that your viewership is thinking about what you're presenting and learning along with you. THANK YOU for your diligence and your research - it truly shows. :)

@@jdee3421 oh goodyyy thanks :)
I'm shocked my self.
same with the irish - we were called white chimpanzees and considered to be the “missing link” between black Africans and white Anglo Saxons. (our skulls were also measured etc)
Yes, I did a video on that! You're right. ua-cam.com/video/TVure-y4RpA/v-deo.html
Ironically some people in the groups that weren't always considered white, like Italian, Irish now think it's ok to call blacks chimps, apes etc. They won't let those tropes die.
@maranathasos3381 These racist psuedo science nonsense where said by other Anglo-Saxon racist yet the Irish turned around joind the WASP americans to be racist against Afro-Americans who never did anything to the Irish. Irish Americans are a utter disgrace for how they where treated to be racist to others.
In Islam, arrogance thinking one looks better than another or having pride over another person is what got satan out from paradise.
That was the British - who have the myth that they are Anglo-Saxons - who came up with all this rubbish.
They are NOT "Anglo-Saxons", they are very mixed people, mongrels, and not particularly White.
Its actually the Irish who are the White people!, being the most Indo-European people in Europe.
See: Son of Manu.
As a kid in Brooklyn nY, I had many many Jewish teachers…. Some had Afro, as kid we was like is he black ??? lol … but yes some of the Jews are very mixed
Frizzy hair isn't only African.
@sr2291 Afro hair has always been seen as proximity to Africanness. This is why some groups such as Jews and Sicilians, for example, have been considered "impure" races.
That's because the first people to settle in Israel were the last peoples out of Africa they are known as the Natufians and were the first Humans known to farm and settle in one location...they are now credited with being the first to brew beer...they would have mixed with Neanderthal populations but still shared much DNA from their African counterparts...Modern Greeks share 30 percent DNA and Italians around 25 percent downstream DNA from the Natufians...The Natufian descendants were among the first peoples to introduce farming in Europe and pre dated the Indo Aryan migrations...

YOU are a hero to me. Thank you so much for having the courage and vision to drive these critical discussions. As a society we must value each and every life and treasure each other (especially our diversity and differences) just like we would like to be treasured.
I really really appreciated this!
I think what you share here and all your other videos should be common knowledge to help stop the racial insanity we have today. I love your history lessons.
German-Jew here. As a believer in Christ I found what complicates the matter is the Golden Entrance in Jerusalem being currently blocked off. What we're looking at is the Lord being put to the test. Which, has ramifications. Even if it's torn down now it won't change the "sin" that's been committed.
Lamentations 4:8
[8]Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
Song of Solomon 1:5-6
[5]I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
[6]Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
The more you expose the blurred lines between skin color and human you will find a place where we can all be together as God's children. Thank you for your continued work to open up new dialog amongst Americans.
That is my hope. We have been divided for so long. Look at what we have done to each other over this
The Nazis never could understand how Jews how Jews are considered white in the United States. But whiteness in the United States is shifting sand. The 2010 census declared all north Africans to be white, which is utterly ridiculous. A lot of people from India also have honorary whiteness when they are in the United States despite many of them being very dark skinned. According to the one drop rule in the United States, if you have a one drop of African blood, you are black. The actress Carol Channing hid her blackness for decades.
MENA was always about including Jews in the white category
Not all Jews in america are white.Ashkenazi Jews are white Mizrahi Jews are not white
Mizrahi Jews have varying skin tones. Many have white or olive colored skin.
@@cjc2 A lot of people with 'olive' skin consider themselves white, like modern-day Hispanics & Italians.
As a hispanic/greek I never did. Hell, i even gave my primo an odd look when he told me im white. No, my skin is a light tan but i've noticed it gets darker when im in the sun. I guess that's the vitamin D doing its job. :)
Excellent work. I know some black Jews and they insist they came from Africa. I've seen maps from the 17th and 18th centuries that have states/villages with names like Judea or other Jewish names. If Mansa Mussa made it to Mecca, then Judaism probably made it to central and Western Africa
I'm An African Jew my Ansestor came from Jewish Israel and settled in that part of Gulf of guinea Jew are originally black Meloneted
ironically Mansa Mussa forbade jews from living in his empire
Ethiopian Jews ...
Umm! All am going to say in response to your comment that "Judaism probably made it to West Africa", is that as far as it concern the original homeland of the people of the Bible, it remain hidden in agreement with 2 Esdras 7:26. Or you don't believe in the words of the bible? Human beings, white or black, can never be trusted. Especially if there are antecedents. Some people are lieing. A grave lie that's bringing death to innocent people. Who also are victims of their ancestors being part of a conspiracy.
2 Esdras 7:26 GNB
26“The time is coming when these signs will take place. The invisible city will appear, and the land that is now hidden will be seen.

“Behold, the time shall come, that these tokens which I have told thee shall come to pass, and the bride shall appear, and she coming forth shall be seen, that now is withdrawn from the earth.”

Thank you, Danielle,
for highlighting these discrepancies, contradictions, and general confusion regarding race in America. ❤
You left out one word...LIES!
Danielle this is exceptional reporting. Your research is top-tier. You’re certainly one of the best at it and right on time as well. To separate humanity based on skin color is at the core sinister.
I appreciate it, I hope the more we learn together, the more we can love each other going forward.
That is the goal isn’t it! It’s time to understand the past but chart a new tomorrow. I’m here for it!
Hi. I find your analysis of US race and racism great. I am an Australian based Singaporean born and bred and published author on race, racism and community networking in Singaporean and Malaysian colonial history. Just want to say your description of how racism works in the US shares so much with racism overseas.
Thank you for sharing. From what you say, it sounds this is less of a US problem and more of a human problem. How do we heal our hearts toward each other? That's the question we should all be asking.
Racism is self-serving and always benefits the racist in general. The people on the other side always suffer in immeasurable ways!
I greatly appreciate your well researched material. Also the way you discuss charged topics directly and yet sensitively in such a dignified manner. Being of Jewish descent, I recall as a kid some family members asking people “are you sure you’re not Jewish!” I didn’t understand it then but I think I do now. The way you present yourself, I find myself thinking the same thing - “I know she must also be part Jewish.” To me that is a compliment and I hope it is taken as such. Keep up the great work 😊
thank you! I try to handle every history as if it was my own. As far as I know, this isn’t part of my story but I did double minor in Judaic Studies 😅
keep u the great job queen .I'd like you to elucidate or throw light on who the biblical black hebrews are and are we the authentic tribe of Judah and how and when did the europeans convert to judaism plus how did they ultimately become known as the original jews .

We must always remember that there are different groups of Jews:Ashkenazi,Sephardic, Mizrahim.There are even groups of Jews in Africa and China.
No its not. Jews are from the tribe of Judah. There are 12 tribes of Israelite ppl and they are all black. Do your research.
Read the Bible clearly
@@DianaLou231you're forgetting that we were scattered to the four corners of the earth. The only ones to be questioned are the Ashkenazi and to some extent the Sephardic who started out brown and have turned pink over time. There are undeniably converts who have lifted themselves up to be "the" Jews during the time that Christianity was invented in Rome. There's also the fact that Jew is a conflated term. But no worries. The truth always prevails. Research beyond the Bible is valuable.

Much appreciated!
Great Content as usual but I'm just as interested in hearing what you cook up with the : Theremin, TR-8, Poly D, and Wasp! All great choices!
Let me start off with this disclaimer. I do not hate Jews, I am an intelligent Black man whose passion is World history, American history and especially Black history. I do not condone the hatred of an individual or group because of their skin, religion or sexual connatation.
With that being said, let's address the elephant in the room. Just as with the Italians, Jews wanted so desperately to be "White" so much so many changed their birth names to blend in(those whose features allowed them too). Many married White women/men to further this assimilation. They worked hard with the assistance from the government to improve apon their social economic condition.
Fast forward to today and you have a thriving group of people that have advanced themselves in all facets of economic mainstream except political(White America has stymied the progression to a degree of any ascension in this arena). Jews have taken a "behind the scenes" approach to political power, further proving that you may have been accepted, but you still are a Jew. As if by saying this, it implies some sort of negative connatation in itself.
With great power comes great responsibility. Sometimes society doesn't want to speak on this truth. Now that this group have "arrived", some not all have made it a point that they can not be critiqued. UA-cam is a perfect example of this. No group is infallible so to exert power to silence others is deplorable. To discriminate against Blacks from a economic standpoint is historically hypocritical. To do onto others as they have done on to you, in a spiteful vengeful manner is not adhering to religious text. History backs what I'm saying.
The Hispanic community is now identifying themselves as White to garner social and economical advantages so as to be simply accepted by the majority. I say onto all of you, be careful with who you lay with, you just might not be able to stand up again.
No truer words spoken 🙏
As a Amateur Historian myself and black i love to talk to White Nationalist on twitter. I find it astounding on how little they know how they would not be considered "white" themselves over 100 years ago. I told my Latino friends by 2050 they would be white in America. Hell people are even starting to call Asians (especially japanese, Chinese, South Korean) white. Have you heard this?
Already they are being called, “white adjacent.”
Someone once told me that “white” wasn’t so much a skin color as a mindset and a way of looking at the world. So, people of non-European ancestry could conceivably become white in the eyes of their community without being accepted by the Northern European descended people.
Yep! “White” is a term of convenience for political expediency and power. It has, can, and will shift as the American political dynamics shifts. Thanks Woodrow (Wilson).😂

In the Wikipedia entry for The Balfour Declaration is a copy of "Memorandum to Protestant Monarchs of Europe for the restoration of the Jews to Palestine, Colonial Times 1841" which gives an insight into how deep and wide this network of supremacists extended. I was born and raised in the hills of the North of Ireland, a very homogenous society until recently, due to no one wishing to go there (pre the Peace Agreements). While the outside world was moving on, much of this part of the world festered in its old ways. Divisions that had been exploited for centuries made murderers of people who were blood related in many cases. Each side claimed to be able to distinguish the other by certain "features" as much as religious observances, yet the first thing anyone would want to know about a stranger was which church they went to on a Sunday. There is an old and outdated joke I remember from my youth about a Jewish guy going to a bar in Belfast while there on business. He gets talking to some locals who, after a short period of beating about the bush, ask him whether he is Catholic or Protestant. He tells them that he is a Jew. There is another brief and pensive pause, with much furrowing of brows before he is then asked. "Yes, but are you a Catholic or Protestant Jew?"
That joke....man. Doesnt that just get to the heart of it
First of all the Jewish people are not the descendants of Jacob/ Israel. But even with that said no people deserve to be persecuted, NO ONE!!!
Acts 13:1
[1]Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
It's the people in power that's keeping us divided. We need to stop their evil agenda.
Great report, information and excellent presentation of this very important content. 💯
Much appreciated
Do the Mennonites from the Russian Empire next and the Métis people of North America. I’m Canadian, but I have a few bloodlines from Mennonites in Nebraska. Most just arrived at Halifax from Odessa though in 1880. Also for Métis, here in Canada we are seen as indigenous, but in the USA in areas just below Saskatchewan and Manitoba; so in Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, to this day they are seen as “whites” to basically exterminate their indigenous language and culture. Love these videos ❤
Do you identify as white or mixed race
I found this channel today. It's informative and sounds well put together.
This is so much better than your original works. My only suggestion is you put a finer point on the premise of who is acceptable and who is not. Thank you for upping your game.
Thanks, Im learning a lot along the way.
Somehow, you managed to get a ton of information out w/o drifting from the initial topic and also linking it all together w/ease to flow naturally while stating things I've never heard before like the flight of black women due to Jews moving in & whites almost lynching a Jewish man for appearing like a negro next to a white woman. I've had professors at the top of their game that weren't that smooth.
Well I really appreciated this. Part of it is editing out all of the times I said "and so". :)
Can you please provide the source of the 1916 recording of lomir zich iberbetn? As a Muslim man who grew up in Brooklyn in a very mixed neighborhood, that song reminds me of the very kind Yiddish speaking third grandparents that lived next door to us.
I like the old recording but all I can find is newer recordings.

Thank you so much Miss for the valuable information.
Your presentation was extraordinary and well researched, and as usual filled with so many informative ancillary topics in support of your main topic!
- A key point that caught my attention is the subject of programs for war veterans on their return home at the end of the war.
*** Only “white” veterans were granted the right to the GI Education Bill, and access to attain generational wealth from homeownership - while Blacks, Asians and Hispanics who fought and died for America; they got nothing, but to pay for the benefits only accorded to “whites only” with their taxes.
-- Is this why there’s so much resistance to “Critical Race Theory”?
Im working on a GI Bill follow up.

This is an interesting video, I learned from what you were talking about concerning Jewish people.
I went to a Southern White predominately white high school. White Jews went to this school too. I became close friends with a Jewish girl there and got up the nerve to say in a conversation that I was interested in going-out to date her. She immediately broke off the friendship, and ignored me like I was poison or something. I remember trying hard to find out what I did wrong, but it took me a couple of weeks to realize that Jews had s secret struggle of being persecuted and knew a lot more about southern race relations than the average black child way back then in the 70's and 80's!! Sad to say but the races that should be the closest in racial persecution is still the furthest apart!! And we all know who the mastermind of that feat is?!!
Jews are Just as racist as any other white supremacist
Jews are notoriously racist when it comes to dating/marrying outside their own race.
I hear you, it’s the Saxon blood that divides us. Me being Italian and that is Latin or Latino. Black and Italians, especially in the south. Stuck side by side, 60’s come around. And Italian identified themselves as white. Government gave us Columbus Day, for reparations of lynchings in the south. Of a guy who was born in Spain and left to Genoa at the age of 6. They lie about history, Italian, like Spanish is not spoken here. Spanish and Italian are the same language. I speak both and I’ve had enough of this shit. Hammas was created by the Israeli governo l. They bullied the Palestinians for along time. This is what diavolo does. If she walked away, it was for the better. You truly see who people really are in the end.
Hmmm yeah and hmmmm no Look up Al Johnson, The gave U.S the tenplate stereotype of blacks, minstrels show profited off mocking blacks to this day. bring up the black equivalent. There are more examples but it seems to be one sided the only time I have seen it called out is by N.O.I. The persecution done to her people was wrong & never should have happened but did you do it or anyone who looks like you or EVEN your ancestors??? no but you seem to get hate why's that???
@@nicoparise-jc5fs I dont know what town your from but Italians NEVER liked no black people EVER nowhere and even if they did they took the white certification and ran with that you think Moley and egg plant just came out the sky?. Keep it real lol
I love your history lesson thank you so much ❤
I'm so glad!
I am of Finnish ancestry, being a first generation American Finn. I found it so strange that in the early years of America, only White Europeans and Black Africans were allowed to immigrate to America. Those of Asian ancestry were not allowed to immigrate. Finns were considered Asian and as such no Finns were allowed to immigrate to America. This was changed in the 1930's when all of a sudden the American government considered Finns white enough to immigrate to a country where everyone is supposed to be considered equal, regardless of skin color, ethnicity or religious preference. After centuries of being part of Sweden and the another 2 centuries of being part of Russia, Finns are only 7% Asian from the 70 to 80% of a few centuries prior and white enough to be considered "white" Europeans by the American government.
Plenty of Finns emigrated to the US some time between around 1880 and 1920. They were granted the "white" status in 1908. The "70 to 80 percent Asian a few centuries prior" is not correct. The Finnish genes have not changed during the part thousand years. The "Asianess" was mostly about the language.
Great video, very informative,..!!👍.
If Jews are white, then Palestinians are white too since they are step-brothers of the same father, Abraham.
Palestinians are a diverse national identity, same as the case for Jews.
The Europeans have always had a ‘Jewish Problem’ throughout their history. They tried various types of isolation and extermination including ghetto establishments, pogroms, and the holocaust. Muslims never had. Jews lived freely in Palestine, Istanbul, Baghdad, Cairo, Morocco and other places for centuries. They actually flourished in Muslim Spain. Then in the late 19th centuries ideas like religious separation, liberal assimilation, socialism, communism, and others emerged. Zionism was their latest version. The same religious fanatics that persecuted the Jews throughout history began supporting Zionism. They don’t want the Jews to live amongst them. Zionists led by Theodore Hertzel held their First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland in 1897 and later British foreign secretary Balfoure made his infamous declaration in 1917, both with the same objective of solving this ‘Jewish Problem. That is how this colonial, imperial and now apartheid enterprise began.
Awesome video! When you get the chance could still consider speaking on how Cubans became white with Ada Ferrer’s book Cuba?
Also a video on the Tuskegee Experiments/Guatemala syphilis experiments.

@@nytn Thank you 🙏
Another good suggestion would be what the United States did to the Marshallese people.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first appearance in print of the adjective white in reference to “a white man, a person of a race distinguished by a light complexion” was in 1671. Colonial charters and other official documents written in the 1600s and early 1700s rarely refer to European colonists as white.
We saw them as ghosts and people with no souls before they even colonized other nations.
It's pretty simple. After the Jews or should I say Hebrews were scattered to the four corners of the Earth in 70 AD, other races then moved in. They called themselves Jews but were not. That's why if you look at the Middle East, the surrounding people's are dark skinned while many so called Jewish are much lighter.
Modern DNA studies support the Middle Eastern origin of today's Jews given some usually small mixing.
No, they're not. The Israelis look pretty similar in my experience visiting that country to the Palestinians and the Jordanians and the lebanese. Like maybe this is breaking news to you, but fair skinned arabs are actually quite common, especially in the Levant. Do you know of Bashar Al-Assad, the monarchs of Jordan, or Ralph Nader?
actually jews became "white" in asia minor back in the 14th or 15th century when some european tribes there ADOPTED the hebrew religion
Wouldn't those be Sephardic Jews?
Not true
@@sr2291 no sefardic jews are those who are and always have been in what is now called "the middle east" i.e. genetically they are almost identical with arabs...
the people from asia minor along with those who LATER adopted the religion in holland germany poland russia et al are 'ashkenazi' they are not from the hebrews of the bible while the sefardi, the pathan people from afghanistan, the ibo from west africa and maybe some others there along with falasha from ethiopia these are descendants of the hebrews of the bible

Absolutely Amazing Video Post
Are AFRICAN AMERICANS & BLACKS " the same race? Where is the COUNTRY called BLACKLAND? Where is the COUNTRY called AFRICA?
@ShaulbenYahudah81 Asking where is the country called BLACKLAND, is the same as asking Where is the country called "WHITELAND"? There are no African Americans, Just simply BLACK (noun) race Americans. There is no country called Africa, however, there is a CONTINENT called AFRICA which has 56 different nations.. Please educate yourself and come back for a more worthy and intelligent discussion...
No African Americans are not the same race. They are an almagation of different groups lumped together by a political classification. Some are descendants of West Africans. Some are descendants of Luso-Africans who were termed Atlantic creoles. Some are the descendants of Aboriginals from North and South America. Others are descendants from the aboriginals of Northwestern and eastern europe.
@@-parttimeartist-7379this guy is absolutely right.
The so-called African American is a byword! That word is not even 50 years old.
The funny thing is, black isn't black, it's brown. I learned my colors in preschool. Not sure about everyone else. Never understood that to this day. Who came up with that?
I feel the same about being white. I never asked to be called white and im more of a tan/peach color.
A lot of classes happen because its an easier way to refer to groups
Ancient Latin. The word Negro was used as an adjective, not to describe someone Black. The romance languages have similar variations of Negro, like Negre in French or Nero in Italian. In that regards, it developed a racial connotation during slavery. But, even before Shakespearean times Moors and other Black people lived in Europe and were identified by their dark skin.
Your videos are Wonderful ❤
I Don't know much Jewish History because It's all coming in pieces. It does appear that the Jewish (by Name or Biology) have been used and discarded over a long period of time on the Planet. This upload has given a few more pieces to the puzzle I am attempting to solve, thank you for that. I will say this, the inner workings (truth) of the building blocks used to construct what is called "Modern Society" are being revealed and it's a horrible shell game to say the least.
Well, back in the 60's a song came out that was entitled "I black, and I'm Proud" Jews seem to be comfortable passing for white, you really can't tell most times if they are Jewish, and I know it's probably safer to try and pass, I used to play golf with Mr. Levitan, and he got a little upset with me because I told him he was not white and was just passing, as a Black man we really frown on this in our culture, after 400 years they can't do anything to us what they haven't done already, all I'm saying be a Jew and be proud of your heritage, Black people were brainwashed to think being Black is the worst human you can be, they stripped us of our culture, language, and heritage, I say go to your Synagogues, celebrate your culture be proud to be a Jew, not undercover, but for everybody to see, screw the white supremacist and the KKK, DON'T BOW DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL... Shalom.
Your lucky didnt get you fired or call you a Swartzer everyone wants to pass or proxi to whiteness globally we the only ones who cant and im happy its what makes us unique. ALSO Mr. Levitan sounds like Levit town Jewish home development in USA in 1940's 50's etc guess who they didnt let in??? lol Again no hate I just tell the truth.
Great content🤔

The Caucasians in isreal who are calling themselves jews they converted to judaism during the 8th century AD, there is book called the thirteenth tribe written by one of there own.
Those terrorists who are calling themselves God's chosen people, are not; and they will do everything in their power to keep that secret hidden! God's chosen people Israel (the black & brown people) have not returned to the land of Israel yet; and those who did are being mistreated, silenced and or driven out. America is evil and corrupt as well (Can two walk together except they be agreed. Amos 3:3) and they support these terrorists acts because they themselves are terrorists! Revelation 3:9 says, they call themselves Jews and are not but do lie; they are the synagogue of Satan (paraphrased)!

I lost my white card when I became Jewish, it was made clear to me. However I acknowledge others, primarily those not white because of skin tone. Have had many more or different difficulties than myself.

@@rickyjames4228 how exactly? Not everyone can just run away from prejudice and why should they?
I am somewhat confused by those "white"/"non-white" discussions. It does not seem to be related to skin color anymore. Does "white" just mean possessing a certain privileged status in society, regardless of actual skin color????? And it just happens that people adopted the word "white" to decsribe such a group due to historical reasons coming from an perspective of American/US history of racial segregation, but the term evolved from denoting skin color????
I’m about to put out a birds’ eye view video on what it has meant in America. It’s pretty wild.

"White" in the US basically means what "Aryan" meant in Nazi Germany. A member of a higher master race. A pale face did not make you "white". At one point, Germans, the Irish or Finns where not considered "white".

This is a fantastic suggestion. Wrote it down. Thank you!
I grew up in a small town in western Kansas and we believed that all Jewish people lived in New York.
This is fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
My stance is that at this stage in American history, anti-Semitism from white supremacists is often tied to conspiracy theories of a world order, of an elite pulling the strings behind the scenes, of the perpetrators of the "woke" left ideology, and more. I don't think the hatred is that of a racial hatred but of something else that's hard to pinpoint and identify. I'm quarter Jewish (quarter Italian, quarter Ukrainian, and quarter Irish), and no parts of my identity ever led to me being otherized, unless you count jokes regarding my whiteness (I grew up in Brooklyn so non-politically correct jokes were common lol). For Americans who are of full or partial Jewish ethnicity, the vast majority are white passing and benefit from such. As do the American descendants of Italian immigrants and Slavic immigrants. Being a "mix" and having no one ethnic box that I fit it, my identity in America is de facto white. The label bears no cultural significance in my life or any historic accuracy but it's what I've accepted as a young man at this stage in American society and identity politics. Being that "white" is a social construct, I believe that being perceived as such means more to being "white" than your cultural or ethnic background as this is what determines how you move and interact with the world around you.
yeah but everything in any society is a social construct
I am also from Brooklyn. I belong to a FB community group that includes Jews, Irish, Latinos, Polish, Asians, Black Americans, West Indians, etc. Although they may be different religions and looks, they all bond on one thing for sure….constant denigration of black people via atrocious memes and tropes. They don't care about the black members. These are all 60-80 yr old grandparents and pensioners who you’d think had better sense. They call Kings Plaza the mall of the apes. Any white person that calls them out on their behavior is called a “libtard” and “woke”. They've definitely forgotten where they come from. Truth is, people have learned that crapping on certain people like blacks will help give them an entryway into the “white” club. SMH
@@bobbijones4377 actually they just enjoyed going to king's plaza
Alot of Italians are definitely not white passing.
A denial of white privilege does not mean you have not profitted from it.
@2:37 I always find it problematic and covertly racist when ppl assign characteristics like being a hard worker, ambitious and educated to certain groups of ppl. It is used as a way to say this group is good and this group is bad. And I can tell you I have known a lot of Jewish ppl, and they don't all fit those 3 descriptions. My uncle, who is an Ashkenazi/Eastern European Jew, used to have financial issues and would ask my father, who is Black, for money. These same characteristics are also assigned to Asian ppl, though I can say I have also seen Asian ppl who don't fit this description either.
I thought about what you said, and I think you made a good point. I also thought it was interesting that in my research I saw those characteristics brought up frequently (which is why I included it). I think whether we should or not, people will always assign dominant characteristics to a group.
What is the point?
The original Jews is Black. Jesus had wolly hair like a sheep and feet like burnt stone. Adam comes from the dust of the earth. King Solomon I am calmy and black. Many references to being Black are all over the Bible.
Yep
Right
Facts
6:49 Yes, very disgusting but nothing new under the sun…The heart “of man” is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
I think of this verse often
@nytn this video confuses me.. in the slave codes you read the moors & Jews as both being part of the black in (appearance) peoples (dark skinned) and the man who was almost hung as having dark skin.. however I must have missed where the (dark skinned) Jews disappeared to in your history telling. I understood the assimilation of white Jews but as we know there are zero dark skinned appearing black known as Hebrew Jews that have been accepted as white.
Danielle,I Would like to know your Take on Black/Jewish Relations. Often,They've Been Negative From the Standpoint Of The Jews. Jewish Entertainers Al Jolson For One,performed In BLACKFACE,Jewish Record Label Executives Pushed The Worst Stereotypes Of Black American Culture Through The Promotion Of "Gangsta" Rap,And Jewish Television Producers Only Saw Black People In One Light,Situation Comedies,Often With Negative Stereotypes. It Seems Like The Two Most Persecuted Groups Should Be Allies,But It Seems Like Many Jews Want To Assimilate Into Whiteness At The Expense Of Black Americans,And Black Celebrities Have To Apologize For Anything Perceived As Antisemitic,But Howard Stern,Sarah Silverman And Jewish Celebrities Aren't Called Out For BLACKFACE Or Other Anti-Black Rhetoric,It's All One-Sided. I Would Like To Know Your Thoughts On This?
Skin "coloring"/shade is irrelevant ... Unless your a low vibration racist ...

Its interesting when you talked about how different groups came to be more accepted in American society after joining the military to serve the country. I think for most of us Asian Americans, being a soldier is at the bottom of the list of what we aspire to be. And this is actually written in the Confucius classics, that only low skilled people become soldiers. During the Vietnam war, some of my uncles were drafted. My grandfather went to the army general and slowly one by one got all his sons out of the service. He knew that if they stay in there, they may never come back home alive. Shortly after, he took all his sons and got on the plane and head over to Hong Kong.
Im not in anyway putting down anyone who feel patriotic and feel strongly about defending ones country, i just dont have that. Patriotism doesnt run in my blood.
I have always wanted to fight for my country since I was a kid.
Those army commercials were certainly motivating.
