Alan Grayson - "Moses Married an Ethiopian Woman"

[msalah2341]

the hebrews are black

[msalah2341]

moses was black

[rahwa138]

king solomon married an Ethiopian woman, quen of sheba.... wts the biggie of this? who said we are not black? we have a different variety of ppl in our nation from dark black to light skin.

[Dickie9028]

The issue with race is a recent issue, ancient times it was what nation / city / community and in the areas people were of all skin tones. What we are witnessing is a white mans power grab.

[Eyaasu]

It is interesting to see that , even at that time , it was a shame to be Ethiopian or mary an Ethiopian lady. that is why , there are a lot of secession movement in Ethiopia. I support every one of them.

[bboohhmmaann]

@Eyaasu It wasn't a problem marrying another nation as much as it was the idolatry. We see that with moses. His wife embraced the ways of the most High. That is why the most High blessed his marriage. Also, if you recall genesis 6 where the most High states that His spirit shall not always strive with man this shows that man was into idolatry then. White men created the race card cabal. In moses time it was just nations and tribes not race. There's only one race and thats the human race.

[justrezzz]

King Solomon, not Mosses, but the point is still right on spot - the marriage between King Solomn and Queen Sheeba was an interracial marriage!

[silkessence19]

@justrezzz no Moses did marry an Ethiopian woman, and it was interracial, it was inter-tribe...

[silkessence19]

@justrezzz LOL...no Moses did marry an Ethiopian woman, and it wasn't** interracial, it was** inter-tribe... :)

[bboohhmmaann]

thats a lie. You are definitely not learned when it comes to color. The concentration of carbon determines what hue a person will be and that's a fact and no the hebrew isrealites were indeed as black or brown or reddish in color and even light skinned. However, etiopians are hamitic(black people). Exodus 4:6-7; Number 12:10; Amos 9:7; Lamentattions5:10 Job30:30. This is only a few things Read about the messiyah in revelation chapter 1. Dont be blind. The creator is trying to tell you something.

[TonyWilkesAyalew]

@bboohhmmaann I am Ethiopian, and I can tell you that there is a rather wide variety in the darkness of skin colours of Ethiopian people. They can be very light brown, but also very dark brown.

[444suse]

@TonyWilkesAyalew

Just like among Europeans. But about Moses second wife. The translation "Ethiopian" ain't correct. The better would be "Cushian" or like Germans (e.g Luther) translated it "negress". The most interesting thing ain't weather this wife of Moses was black or not but that 16th century Europeans didn't find it as a big issue at all. However later they translated it to "Ethiopian" and Jim Crow people hardly liked the idea that IR marriage was so strongly supported by God.

[TonyWilkesAyalew]

@444suse "Cushian" = "Ethiopian". After all: the name of the Ancient Ethiopian Empire is "The Land/Empire of Cush". Besides, I use the King James version, and it clearly says Ethiopian. And Moses had only one wife. If you think he had two, please tell me where you've read that

Anyways, why are you commenting on this?>>I only wanted to show that what "bboohhmmaann" said about Ethiopians being only very dark black was wrong.

-Peace be upon you :)

[444suse]

@TonyWilkesAyalew

"said about Ethiopians being only very dark black was wrong. "

I agree. But then there is always that question: what is Ethiopia and what was Ethiopia in past?

[bboohhmmaann]

No offense but according to today they both were the same race but not of the same nationality. Moses was black and so was the etiopian wife. Aaron and miriam did not agree with him marrying outside of their faith. Oh yea, wasn't miriam turned into a leper? So that mean she was turned into what is now called white!

[firespinguy]

@bboohhmmaann Your post is filled with ignorance. Moses was a semite, and he married a black Ethiopian woman. Also leper is a disease and that is not what is called white.

[bboohhmmaann]

@firespinguy dude get a life and i'm not ignorant. I said specifially, "ACCORDING TO TODAY" can you read you freaking moron. Ethiopians look black because white people put that dumb ass title on us as being black. So shut your mouth. And leprocy has been redefined by whites. The original leprocy in scripture was the turning from dark skin into white or a peach like color skin on the body. Get your facts straight. The leprocy of today, what they say is a deformity which is bullshit. Get it right!

[firespinguy]

@bboohhmmaann I will say what I want when I want. You said moses was black, ancient jews/hebrews did not look black, but more like modern day arabs. Your scripture is not the original definition of leprocy, as leprocy was defined in ancient china and asia long before hebrews, torah, or the bible. Leprocy have been proven by genetic studies to be genetic and from bacteria that cause the deformities. You are the one who need to get it right.

[silkessence19]

@firespinguy no they wasn't because in the end of the book of Genesis it stated that the Caanite people couldn't tell the difference between Joseph and his people, and their own Caanite people! Egyptians are descendants of Ham and Ham is Black/Nubian...

[MyTotalRemedy]

Moses did indeed marry an Ethiopian (black) woman. That's why people who think you shouldn't love whomever you want because you're a different skin color than them are so stupid.

[silkessence19]

@MyTotalRemedy they was ALL the same NUBIAN COLOR look in the last 2 chapters of the book Genesis! and look in the book of Exodus when God told Moses to put his hand in his robe....

[NotAsOtherz]

Solomon married an Ethiopian woman.

[TonyWilkesAyalew]

@NotAsOtherz That's true, you are completely right. Solomon married Sheba, the Queen of Ethiopia. It seems that Hebrews like Ethiopians. By the way: The nick-name for Ethiopians by the Hebrews was "beautifull people".

[EsklayWilson]

So in other words, this exonerates Dr. Laura?

[gdunk02]

Moses and that Ethiopian woman were of the same "race" - by American standards at least. They may have had different cultures though

[dutchsubb]

Rick is stupid we have to teach him proper English

[luvemliam]

So CNN asks Alan Grayson, a retard, what he thinks about the ranting.....He is the epitomy of rants! Ooooops forgot I wasn't supposed to say retard anymore....

[franssusan]

Alan Grayson. Who cares what he thinks about this? It's so trivial. Find something relevant to discuss!

[Unoriginalname3]

But isn't he right? I don't get your video, and the point you're trying to make.

[dslcobra]

I heard Jesus married Marry Magdelene. Frankly, I DON'T CARE.
