[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.

"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?

[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".

@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 :)

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.

@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.

@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.
