Job {30:30} My skin is BLACK upon me, Song of Solomon {1:5} I [am] BLACK, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. {1:6} Look not upon me, because I [am] BLACK, because the sun hath looked upon me: (Solomon's lover, the Shulamite woman - a woman from the region of Shulam in Israel) Yarem`Yah'uh (Jeremiah) {8:21} For the hurt off the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am BLACK; astonishment hath taken hold on me. Yarem`Yah'uh (Jeremiah) {14:2} Yah'uh`da mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are BLACK unto the ground; and the cry of Yah'uh`Shalom is gone up. Lamentations {4:7} Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing [was] of sapphire: {4:8} Their visage is BLACKER than a coal; ***definition of visage; dictionary. com : the face, usually with reference to shape, features, expression, etc.; countenance. Lamentations {5:10} Our skin was BLACK like an oven because of the terrible famine. Yah'uh`el (Joel) {2:6} Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather BLACKNESS. Nah'uhm {2:10} She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain [is] in all loins, and the faces of them all gather BLACKNESS. 2 Esdras {7:55} And that the faces of them which have used abstinence shall shine above the stars, whereas our faces shall be BLACKER than darkness?

Song of Solomon - BLACK BUT COMELY BLACK....... BUT...... COMELY Not black and comely, black BUT comely. Rastafari brethen and conscious Africans I have dealt with have always rejected and questioned this. IT seems the author is ashamed of their blackness. Brethren have also put a fire under the locked garden of the woman inviting ones in to come drink from the fountain and taste the fruits which could be looked upon as fellatio, lol

I thought so, but Solomon was a man led astray by the love of women ; he had 300 wives and 700 mistresses. If he laid with one each day he would not be done with the whole of them in a year, unless he laid with them in large numbers. Poor man got sick with sex in his 60s and died young. *Black was associated with sadness or grief or extreme hunger or sorrow or tribulation, when the ruddy African face of the hebrew lost all colour and became black as a coal. While such blackness could also be attained working extremely long periods in full glare of the sun. Mostly it was due to grief or terror, such as the grief I feel when I see the moral erosion and ignorant situation of the african society getting from bad to worse every day: I am very Black.

LoL we have some agreement. Black AND comely. Blackness is a matter of pride and joy and not shame

Messenger: Yahuhkhanahn Sent: 7/6/2017 3:38:28 PM

I said "I thought so" concerning sexualisation in the book of The Song of Solomon and his black lover. I recently read part of the book and it was very erotic in nature, almost close to creative poetic pornography... *Black was associated with sadness or grief or extreme hunger or sorrow or tribulation in ancient Israel, when the ruddy African face of the hebrew lost all colour (or blood - like when the european becomes pale in the face) and became black as a coal. While such blackness could also be attained working extremely long periods in full glare of the sun. Mostly it was due to grief or terror, which is why the black woman uses "but". Such grief and sadness and great terror and dread I feel when I see the moral erosion and ignorant situation of the african society getting from bad to worse every day: I am very black sometimes.

You should not associate black with sorrow sadness wickedness etc This is what slave master has done. The morning start with blackness, the world was created from blackness, blackness is the full absorbtion of all other forms of colour. It represents perfection, originality, full spectrum, birth and creation. InI should never associate blackness with the things of what you just posted

Dark night is black, a time for wickedness to flourish, a time for murderers and rapists and harlots and robbers and wizards to roam the land and spread wickedness over it like butter upon a loaf of bread, and drape it with wickedness like a garment. While morning is the break of dawn, when the sun peeks over the end of the earth and casts its golden rays upon the face of the earth and chases away workers of iniquity back into their dens, even though some are bold enough to go on with their activities right into the day... I would not normally call myself black, because I know what black is and the colour black is not even close to accurately describing the colour of my skin. definition of black ; dictionary.com : adjective, blacker, blackest. lacking hue and brightness; absorbing light without reflecting any of the rays composing it. characterized by absence of light; enveloped in darkness: My skin sure reflects some light. And I would not describe it as black, like soot, or a black garment. It's not even close to that. Neither would I describe another man as white. Because there is no living man upon this earth that is white like milk. I have never seen one. National and tribal would be the best way to describe anyone, opposed to skin colour, which is totally inaccurate. No matter how other nations try to cast upon us this colour and call us black, I would never describe myself as such, or respond to a summon made with "black" as the object or targeted audience of speech, because scientifically and physically speaking, I am not black, under normal circumstances. Even though when gloom takes hold on me, my visage tends to drift further into the darker spectrum, and I would call that blackness.

My skin does have colour too, and is not black as an ancient oven, or black like a coal, or like soot upon a cooking pot ; though I would say I look like the earth. I dont have a colour to describe my skin, so I call myself Hebrew, or Israelite, according to my Nationality and tribal origin.

Messenger: GARVEYS AFRICA Sent: 7/7/2017 9:33:44 AM

You dont use english for your name John but you use a english definition for the colour black? After all the english language speakers have done to melanated peoples? That makes no sense. Wickedness is done all throughout the day. And the morning doesnt begin with daylight the day begins and ends in midnight blackness. Change your thinking. Black could never be associated with the things your english dictionary claims Black describes African peoples melanated brown skin as much as white describes caucasian peoples pink-bague colour. Nobody is truely black or white but lets not play that game AFTER you start the thread quoting BLACKNESS in the bible to show the israelites are of the black race. Its OK to sight error in your own use of word definition in this bastard language. Dem tings are wrong JUST like black but comely

Messenger: Yahuhkhanahn Sent: 7/7/2017 9:38:43 AM

Is not black english language? And I made this post not to show that Isreal are of a black race, but to show that Israel did experience blackness upon themselves. Race does not exist. It's an imagination. Your times are according to you. For me my Lord's day starts and ends at evening. At even the sun sinks at the end of the earth, and morning comes with the rising of the sun. In between theres just night and darkness. You cannot expect everyone to view times according to your culture, as if your culture is perfect and all others are not.
