Truth Ministries0 CommentsHistorical References, The Shemites1900s, 1911, Dodd, Mead

Source: The New International Encyclopædia, Volume 11 (Dodd, Mead) 1911 A.D. Note: Page 209 of the source. Page 209 of this source confirms yet again that the dolichocephalic skeletal type, which is seen predominately amongst black peoples, is the skeletal type of the original Jews that is preserved amongst the Jews of Africa and "perhaps a majority of the so-called Sephardim". Keep in mind that black peoples have been found in different skeletal types and that a variety of evidence must be used to arrive at the soundest conclusion of one's ethnicity, as well.

Truth Ministries1 CommentHistorical References, The Shemites2000s, 2003, Oxford University Press

Source: A Gentleman of Color: The Life of James Forten (Oxford University Press) 2003 A.D. Page 438 of this book is yet another confirmation that many of the early Jewish families, especially the prominent members, were black Jews. This source tells us the Purvises and the Dacosta family were of Jewish and African ancestry, so one could equate them to being black Jews.

The Tribes of Kedar were Dark-Skinned People

Truth Ministries0 CommentsHistorical References, The Shemites1800s, 1887, Abraham, Black, dark-skinned, Hamites, Kedar, Shem, UC Southern Regional Library Facility

Source: The Villages of the Bible: Descriptive, Traditional, and Memorable (UC Southern Regional Library Facility) 1887 A.D. Note: Page 182 of the source. This source reaffirms for us the blackness of the tents of Kedar and Kedar, one of the grandsons of Abraham, himself. This source yet again destroys the notion that some people believe all black people are Hamites because we clearly see that Abraham, who was of Shem, was having black/dark-skinned grandchildren. When someone is being compared to the tents of Kedar or to a Cedar tree, it is because they are an extremely black/dark-skinned person.
