Are Jews White?

LUClEN

It seems that there are many Jews out there who do not consider themselves to be White, despite lacking melanin.

The most recent example seems to be Professor Noel Ignatiev, a Russian Jew who recently told his white students to ? themselves because white people are inherently evil. This kind of begs the question though: if this is true why isn't he eliminating himself... does he not consider himself to be White?


Again this is highlighted in an interview with Morgan Freeman and some Jew. Morgan Freeman asks if the Jew wants a White history month, the Jew replies with "I'm Jewish" as though that means he is not White.

many of the "Jews" we know of today are of eastern European decent, many are Russian or German...
true Jews or Hebrews are dark skinned people with wooley hair.

Jews are an actual people aka bloodline that are scattered across the world and currently at the bottom of the totem pole until Christ comes back to gather them together as a nation again.

I agree with Farrakhan for the most part but one thing keeping people in the dark is scholars using the word "Jew" and "Jewish people" interchangeably. Jew is a bloodline, Jewish is simply a way of life/culture.


The white Jewish people today are in no way shape or form Jews. By calling them Jews, according to Scripture, you're calling them gods.

The lighter Jews are descendants of the Turkish empire and northern European Hebrews. The darker ones are descendents of Ham. They're all shades and colors. More diverse shade wise than america. Abraham had children of different shades. The Israelites were lighter than the Egyptians with straighter hair and they were hated on for it. They were not allowed to be painted in Egyptian artwork. The same way lighter natives killed off darker natives and Africans enslaving other shades of colors. ? just evolved into racism on a bigger scale instead of society embracing one another.

Judaism is a religion and being Jewish is an ethnic group. The ethnic group tends to be whites, of course this varies as different people convert or are brought into it.

Yes they are White.

Looking at the polls there is a lot of variation. I think this should support the basis of my confusion

Some are White, some are not.

Most people in America assume that all Jews are white... without understanding that it is a religion and lifestyle with customs and that ancient Jewish merchants were like everywhere so it spread. That being said not everyone recognizes everybody.
