@H4generation So prior to the Jewish-Roman war what people lived in Africa? When was this war? I know there is a specific group(the name escapes me I want2 say they're in SOuthAfrica) with cultural and genetic links to Israel-but Are you saying that all Africans are Israelites? across the entire continent?

This is Ghana style music. Like The Ashanit/Ewe etc.

This is one of the basic facts that the Haitians,so called Black Americans,Jamaicans are the real Israelites according to the bible. And they were scattered throught Africa after the Jewish-Roman War. Rara is a ritual celebration of passover. Passover is supposed to be held for seven days, Rara is held for seven days. During the Rara week, they eat a small goat just like the passover land.
