Afro Iraqi slaves: 1500 years of being black in Iraq

Welcome to the Ruddy Brew. My name is T. Edge, King Bica, for the brew. Today we are talking Afro Iraqi slaves. I wonder what 1500 years of being black in Iraq is like. My first question is "do black lives matter in Iraq?" According to articles on these people known as the Zanj, it does not. The current social issues in the middle east have things a little tense as their politicians many times end up being assassinated while fighting for their rights. There seems to be a need for black justice around the world. I think there's more to the story than what is being relayed and I think that they don't want me to tell you this, but 1500 years ago the Jews were being enslaved in Iraq, formerly known as Babylon. So, my next question is, "where did the Jews go?" The vibes I get make me feel that these slaves are connected in some way. After all Ezra the prophet left Babylon to rebuild the temple but sources say that his remains are in the land of Iraq. Don't take my word for it, do seminaries teach history? How does scholarship work?
Much of the history from that time tells a story of Israel vs Christianity. This history comes from a misinformed perception of the Jews of the bible, Hamites, Ur of the Chaldees and the like. When it comes to knowing your lineage, there seems to be a freedom in knowing your origins but don't be mad at me. You know I wanna talk about it. Let's go!

The majority of people in south of Iraq are Shiites. And the Shiites used to be a jewish sect. :Instead of Teflin they use stone to pray. They have turban instead of tallit. They believe in 12 Imams, jews believe in 12 tribes. Jews pray three times a day, shia also pray three times a day by putting some prayers together. Muslims believe to be descendent from Ishmael. And in the old Testament he blessed by God and has twelve princes. Similar like the shia who believe in twelve holy Imams

I just don't get this obsession that African Americans have with Judaism.

[@theruddybrew]

Really, I don't give much thought to Judaism bc it's not biblical (neither is Christianity for that matter). I enjoy reading the bible and spending time in prayer and when you stop trying to understand other men's philosophy through biblical writing and you read what is actually there the lies began to tell on themselves. It was this realization that made me begin seeing if history and geography could validate scripture and this is where you and I meet. Thanks for interacting with the video!

i would recommend you to research the Term "Saggiga" and what it means. Those were the people who invented civilization...

[@PackHunter117]

That’s a Sumerian word for the “Black headed people”. Meaning they had black hair. No connection to black Africans. Also Indians, Chinese, and Egyptians started civilization alongside the Mesopotamians.

Iraqis are Iraqis no matter what their skin color we don’t have racism here you can ask any of them they have the same rights we consider them a part of us we don’t even pay attention to the difference of skin color

During my research I definitely found information showing that they did not have the same rights. I do appreciate your interaction with the video.

Remember, the first king of Babylon (IRAQ) was Nimrod the Cushite (Ethiopian). The people who are now popularized as "Arab" are actually Turkish from the Ottoman empire who colonized the Arabian peninsula in the 16th Century.

[@theruddybrew]

So are you saying that the white people are so superior that they were able to white wash an entire empire? Nimrod was a cushite Ethiopian but that means that he and other hamites look like their descendants in the land today. Thanks for interacting with the video.

[@narjess6040]

I am an Iraqi woman from Babylon, Iraq. Many of my cousins are Afro-Bedouins. My in-laws are from Basra. I live in the USA. Iraqi people are kind and hospitable. Unfortunately fundamental Islam and Sharia Law has plagued southern Iraq. Iraq before Sharia Law was culturally diverse and gave its people religious freedom. These new Islamic laws persecuted previous generations of Iraqi Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, and the Yazedi peoples…Islam in Iraq is responsible for the genocide and diaspora of many people… Regardless of your skin color, man or women it’s safer to live in (Kurdistan) Irbil, Iraq right now. There’s been a recent influx of white Americans and Koreans.

The Hebrews come from Abraham of Ur of the Chaldeans. The Chaldeans were an Aramaic tribe living north of the Levant. The only black person that added to the Hebrew gene pool was Zephora. Beyond her that’s it. One black person isn’t gonna change their genes much. However I would agree that after the Romans kicked them out of Judea that’s when their gene pool got a lot more diverse.

[@theruddybrew]

The Hebrews came from Padan Aram, the Catholics translated it Mesopotamia. Ur was a creation of Babylon per scripture and is where Abraham is said to have come from. Even if he was born there, the Hebrews didn't come from there. Thanks for interacting with the video.

[@PackHunter117]

@@theruddybrew Where’s your proof they didn’t come from there? Again Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldeans. Read the Bible, Koran, and Torah and they’ll say that’s where he came from. He’s the father of the Jewish people. So yes I’m aware they originated from Ur. Meaning because of Abraham they are relatives of the Mesopotamians. The Hebrews then fought the Canaanites or Phoneticians and all the other Aramaic tribes and settled in the Levant.

@@theruddybrew Babylonia was established in 1894 BC. The city of Ur is from 5822 BC. The first empire of Mesopotamia was the Akkadian Empire. The Akkadian Empire was established in 2334 BC.

@@PackHunter117 who does the Bible say established Mesopatamian city states? Shem or Ham? Then tell me how the Chaldeans are Hamites and Shemites.

[@PackHunter117]

@@theruddybrew It would appear after research that the Babylonians weren’t Semitic or from Shem. However Assyria was. Then again the different races of people fro the Biblical narrative likely came after the Tower of Babel which would’ve been located in modern Iraq. Everyone before the Tower likely looked the same. The “Curse of Ham” was never explained exactly what it was in the Bible. Only racist white people pulled outta their ass that it meant he turned black. But from what I’ve seen there’s nothing to show for that logic. It’s better to assume they all looked the same and only changed with the languages after the Tower. Also apparently the Semitic people became more numerous and displaced the aborigines of very ancient lower Mesopotamia. However it’s not explained what those people looked like.

[@0397rb]

You made that up.

[@paulsheppard1108]

The hamites and shamites live in the same area with one another. It was the descendants of japheth also known as gentiles who left the region.

[@theruddybrew]

Is that what the scripture says?

[@paulsheppard1108]

@@theruddybrew yes it says that. Abraham came from where Ur ( Babylon) where is that located it was located in Babylon. God told Abraham to leave the the atlanta-based father and cross the Euphrates and go where to the land of Canaan. Who was Canaan? The Canaanites were descendants of ham. When the land of Canaan supper the famine what did the Israelites go and live. They went and lived in it is Egypt Egypt is a descendant of Ham. And finally when Herod wanted to kill Jesus where did God tell Mary and Joseph to take her son to and hide him. They went and hide in Egypt. What was the first Christian community established outside of Jerusalem Ethiopia. Will the holy prophet Muhammad followers was being persecuted by what the holy Quran call desert Arabs what is the holy prophet Muhammad's and his followers to. He I said his followers to Ethiopia because he knew they would be protected. You might not be familiar with the story of the holy Quran but you should be familiar with the biblical stories that I mention.

[@paulsheppard1108]

And you can look at that region today. Prior to the establishment of Israel you still have the children of Abraham living in the same area. Look at Ethiopia you have Christian Jews and Muslims living in the same area. In Iraq you had Christian Jews and Muslims living in the same area. In Morocco you had Christian Jews and Muslims live in the same area. In Nigeria you had Christian Jews and Muslims living in the same area. Egypt and Jordan you had Christians Jews and Muslims living in the same area. In Morocco you had Christian Jews and Muslims live in the same area. And Yemen you had Christian Jews and Muslims living in the same area. But the people that you see now in power they are indo-europeans. Because in the book of Genesis it clearly states"that j ft would dwell in the tents of Shem."andweknow japheth is the father of the gentiles/Indo Europeans. The very name Iran means what the land of the Aryans. We know the Jewish people that's ruling Palestine now or Ashkenazi Jews. And we do Ashkenazi was a descendant of Japheth. Everything I'm saying is accurate and truthful. Point out any place that I am lying. After you do your research. Enclosing if you read older Bibles you will see in the book of Genesis where it says"these are the owls of the gentiles."meaning that there were a particular group of people (the descendants of japheth )known as gentiles. But later modern translations change the word gentiles to Marine time people. Now the question must be asked if the word gentiles and such an innocent word why would somebody change. The reason can be found in the book of Luke I believe but definitely in the New testament. Where Jesus is quoted as saying"Jerusalem will be trampled under the feet of the gentiles until the gentiles time is complete."so if Jerusalem will be trampled under the feet of the gentiles Dora the end times than those people who are ruling israel-palestine now must be gentiles."now this is the primary reason why zionists hate the New testament. Prove anything that I have just posted is a lie.

[@theruddybrew]

@paulsheppard1108 you recited your Sunday school teaching perfectly, but I asked you if the bible said that Ham and Shem were from the same land. Go read the text. Ham was from India to Egypt. Abraham was not told to cross the Euphrates. That's what you were taught to believe. Shem was from Mesha to Sephar, and Sephar was in the east; We know Sephar is in Yemen. If Sephar is in Yemen and it's in the east, tell me where West is... I'll help. It's Africa. Shem is African, Ham is Middle Eastern (& North African), and Japheth is European.
