Whitney and her crackhead husband are pathetic. She sucks. Doesn't she also have a Hoover for a nose since she met up with Booby Butthole.
Maybe he is trying to confiscate her crack cocaine.
Sharon: So, what is this meshugga thing you are wearing? Are you trying to kill your poor mother, that she should die of embarassment?
Perhaps he should have offered to give her a high five.
Whitney joined a cult.
The modern Original African Hebrew Israelite Nation of Jerusalem, the largest single Black Israelite movement in the world, traces its roots to Chicago and the racially turbulent Sixties, when Ben Carter, a charismatic, black, twenty-six-year-old metal worker claimed he had been visited by the angel Gabriel, who instructed him to deliver his community from bondage and return its citizens to their biblical homeland, Israel, which Carter said was actually Northeast Africa. The African and Native Americans, claimed Carterwho renamed himself Ben Ammi Ben Israel Carterwere God's chosen ones: true descendants of the twelve tribes of Israel, started by Jacob's twelve sons, and therefore natural heirs to the Holy Land and all its riches and history.
With the Vietnam War raging on day after bloody day, race riots still a regular occurrence, and President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society revealed for the idealistic fraud it was, such a notion was not unappealing to some members of middle America's black working class. "America was our Babylon, our place of bondage," Ben Shlomo, jazz musician and the Black Israelites' Community Leader of External Affairs told Adrienne Sanders in a 1997 article for Columbia University's Slant. "Black people in the states are still wandering the desert. They're living with the leftovers of slavery."
There was a precedent for such a movement going back to 1893, when William Saunders Crowdy, a black railroad chef, had a vision from God calling him to lead his people to a "true religion." Crowdy's Church of God and Saints of Christ proliferated under an agenda of black nationalism, traditional Christian practices, and a strong dose of Jewish identification and imagery, the exodus from bondage being a central theme. They were looking for deliverance, and a home.
Similar groups were founded in Virginia (with the congregation of the Temple of the Gospel of the Kingdom relocating to Harlem in 1917), Atlantic City, and, in 1915, Philadelphia. According to The Encyclopedia of Cults, Sects, and New Religions, F.S. Cherry, founder of that Philadelphia's Church of God:
taught that God, who is black, originally created black humans, the descendants of Jacob. The first white person, Gehazi, became that way as the result of a curse. The church teaches that Jesus was a black man. Prophet Cherry's followers believe that they are the true Jews and that white Jews are impostors. The church does not use the term synagogue, the place of worship of the white Jews. Cherry read both Hebrew and Yiddish and based his teachings on the Old Testament and the Talmud. The church has a Saturday Sabbath and a liturgical year which focuses on Passover. The church has prohibitions against eating pork, divorce, taking photographs, and observing Christian holidays.
Back in line, we moved away from religion and into hunting, fishing and gardening, the man's favorite pastimes. When he was younger, he would hunt alligators and squirrels. Up in Pennsylvania, he stalked whitetail deer and bears. He had a lodge and liked to go hunting with his sons and grandchildren. Gardening-wise, he made it on television a couple years ago for displaying the largest squash at a fruit and vegetable exhibition. Sometimes he'd comment on the level of voluptuousness of a passing woman"I'm old but I still love women," he assured meor field cell-phone calls from excited relatives in the South, always answering the phone, "Mayday, mayday."
The man behind us, distinguished looking enough, kept mostly to himself, cutting in only to ask questions regarding the details of the bus. He looked like he may have been in the military at one point or another, or possibly still was.
We all looked toward the gate when the next potential passenger arrivedan elderly woman, wheeling her small suitcase behind her. The address tag on her bag said Duquesne, describing an old Monongahela Valley steel town. She paused at the front of the line.
"It's all right by us if you stay there," the distinguished looking man said, urging her to remain, the man in the front of the line shifting his things over to make room, inadvertently knocking his straw hat onto the ground. He picked it up.
"I was afraid you guys would beat me up," she said.
Looking for home, the Black Israelites' Carter first led some three hundred followers to the West African bush country in Liberia for what he described as two years of lifestyle-cleansing, intended to rid the group of bad habits like cigarettes, drugs, and alcohol and prepare it for the more natural lifestyle it would be leading. In 1969, the forty strong souls that didn't give up emigrated to the southern Israeli desert town of Dimona, home to a nuclear reactor and little else, gaining entrance with temporary visas. Israel's Chief Rabbinate subsequently charged that the Black Israelites were not technically Jews, and were therefore not entitled to citizenship under the country's Law of Return.
In fact, the Black Israelites are unique unto themselves. The Jewish Virtual Library (JVL) describes their religious and cultural practices as follows:
They live according to their own special rules of conduct. Polygamy is permitted and birth control is forbidden. Their leaders decree who will marry whom, performing the weddings and approving annulments. Their dietary laws prohibit the eating of meat, dairy products, eggs and sugar; members must adopt Hebraic names in place of their former "slave names." According to Black Hebrew custom, the woman's responsibilities focus on childrearing and other family obligations. The Black Hebrew's closed society is isolated from the mainstream and all infractions of their rules are severely punished.
In Israel, the Dimona settlement has grown and even thrived, due in part to its high birthrate and, according to the JVL, "because many of them, some with criminal backgrounds, illegally entered Israel using various forms of subterfuge." The JVL estimates that some 1,250 Black Israelites, still lead by Carter, inhabit the original settlement, and in smaller pockets in Arad and Mitzpe Ramon. According to Sanders, the Dimona Black Israelites have become world famous for their upbeat take on jazz and their New World Choir, which sings its own take on gospel music, eschewing Christ for the prophets, places, and heroes of Israel. Additional revenue is generated by the group's seamsters' workshop and from vegetarian restaurants in Arad and Tel Aviv. The Black Israelites acquired legal residency status in Israel in May 1990, with their temporary residencytheir legal right to their homereviewed periodically.
