One of my friends described her as "a recruit" in the efforts by some Jewish groups(mostly Zionists) to have a couple black faces go out there to dismiss or undermine the growing awareness of the Khazar roots of European Jewry, namely Ashkenazis.
By her own admission, she got lots of blowback from "her own community"(black folks!) and a few Jewish friends for her commentary.
It's amazing that her claim to fame is as a Jazz singer, not as a historian, which she isn't!
If you listen closely, she has a set of talking points on the origins of the Thirteenth Tribe and how Arthur Koestler was mistaken blah blah blah..
She also put forward that it was a myth first put out there by early white supremacists & eugenicists and grabbed onto by folks who didn't like Jews etc. That's mostly BS!
Then I checked a video of her with some biblical scholar named Dan McClellan or something..
I watched a few minutes of it only to put it aside because it's the kind of nonsense i'm familiar with, especially during the original attacks on the idea of Afrocentrism by Dr Molefi Kete Asante.
In other words, i've been there and done that.
Here's the thing: who do you take seriously, a Dara Starr Tucker or Prof Noam Chomsky who is one of the foremost linguists in America?
Again wow, just shocked to see her video on LLC.
My first thought was that someone saw my post on the ADL's effort to stigmatize that bit of history and quickly sent you her video as a counterpoint.
But hey, strange days indeed as more folks become aware of the foundational narrative around the Zionist project.. and as more folks get banned, suspended or fired for questioning much of the knowledge they've been fed as relates to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
I was hoping for your silence around this given your political ambitions and how this whole mess could put you under undue scrutiny. We are talking about powerful & influential & silencing powers feeling threatened lately.
Last thing: if you notice closely, when she talks about the myth being "adopted by all kinds of celebrities", the images she shows are of two Black men, actor Nick Cannon and Prof Griff (formerly of public enemy); the next image is of Palestinian president Abbas. That should clue you immediately that it's a piece of Zionist propaganda! I hope she was well compensated.
I said what i've said. I am that I am!
