Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America Documentary Review

➡ In this lengthy discussion, the speakers review a three and a half hour documentary called “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up, Black America 2018” by Ronald Dalton Jr. They discuss the film’s main claim that the original Israelites were black, and how it uses language similarities and DNA evidence to support this. The speakers express some skepticism about the documentary’s methods and conclusions, but also note that they’ve heard similar arguments before. They also mention that the documentary is part of their Black History Month programming.
➡ The text discusses various theories about human origins, including the idea that everyone originated from Africa and adapted to different climates over time. It also explores theories about the original Israelites, the existence of pygmy tribes, and the influence of biblical stories on these theories. The text ends with a discussion about the portrayal of Jesus as a white man in European and American cultures, and the author’s skepticism about the arguments presented in the text.
➡ The speaker discusses a controversial documentary that questions historical and religious beliefs, using complex arguments and interpretations. They express skepticism about the documentary’s claims and its reliance on certain sources. The documentary gained attention when basketball player Kyrie Irving shared it, leading to backlash and controversy. The speaker criticizes the documentary’s production quality and its confusing use of multiple trailers.
➡ The speaker is critiquing a film that they found to be overly long and confusing. They felt the film was filled with unsupported claims and lacked clear evidence or explanations. The speaker was also frustrated by the film’s constant use of lists and its failure to simplify complex topics. They felt the film didn’t effectively communicate its points and left the viewer with more questions than answers.
➡ The text discusses a documentary that explores various historical and cultural theories, including the idea that Pygmies were the source of leprechaun myths and expert alchemists. It also delves into the origins of Spain and Coney Island, and the spread of Phoenician culture into Africa. However, the documentary is criticized for its length, lack of editing, and for making numerous claims without sufficient evidence. The text suggests that the documentary could have been more effective if it was shorter, more focused, and provided clearer explanations of its theories.
➡ The text discusses a documentary that, despite its message, lacks the necessary impact to convince those outside its community. The next documentary to be watched, “Accidental Courtesy,” is about Daryl Davis, who infiltrates the KKK. The text ends with lyrics from a song, possibly promoting merchandise from Paranoid American, and expressing various emotions and thoughts.

And since it is Black History Month for anyone that’s listening and not looking at this, Sean thought it was a good idea to show up in blackface. Under the docks. Yeah, under the docks. Buried deeper. We breaking the locks. Footage back clip. They erase all the shots. They collect the dots. Under the docks. Under the docks. Yeah, under the docks, Sam. And we’re back under the docks. Paranoid American. Sean. Chris. Where we watch the documentary and tell you maybe you should, maybe you shouldn’t. And it’s Black History Month and we’re starting off Black History Month with Hebrews to Negroes.

Wake up. Black America 2018 by Ronald Dalton Jr. Coming in at a whopping three and a half hours. Good times. Good times. Yeah. What did you think when you, when you load up a documentary? Now, at least for me, or even any movie, my, my vision goes immediately to how long is this thing going to be? Like, how long have I just committed myself to this experience? I was kind of in for like, all right, man, this better be very informational. Like, I’m hoping that if it’s over three hours, that it should, like, really blow my mind.

But I’ve noticed that that is not always the case. That’s actually a great, like a three and a half hour documentary. To me, putting my bias on the table is kind of, this is kind of Money Masters area. This is sort of extended loose change area. Not the, the night, you know, tightly cropped one that we reviewed. But I absolutely expect for a three and a half hour experience, I’m gonna be an expert on whatever topic this is. So any conversation that comes up for the rest of my life, I’m absolutely the subject matter expert. Because I saw a three and a half hour documentary.

I, I totally agree. You, you should come back feeling like you have more knowledge than anybody else on that subject. Right. Which it’s not impossible. Right. Even for Money Masters. I don’t think anyone can sit down in one viewing and watch the whole entire thing and then understand every little minute point to where you could just recite any of it or even like think about it in detail. It becomes almost like a reference book, like, like a thick encyclopedia that you got to keep going back to over and over again whenever you’re looking in, like a very specific subject.

But it, it exists as like a tome of this occult knowledge about the money system. It just happens to be in video format instead of some old dusty book. And I guess that is my expectation going into a documentary that I see. It’s three and a half hours. So it’s going to be a resource material. I totally agree. And not all of them are like that. For instance, the one we’re talking about, the first 20 minutes is a, A, a montage of, like, the new stuff coming out, like this week, couple months from now. Like, it doesn’t tell you the drop date, but they’re already talking about part two, and you haven’t even watched part one yet.

It takes you 20 minutes just to get to the actual documentary. I’m like, okay, well, I didn’t need this part. All right, well, let’s, let’s not start sl. This is Black History Month. We need to pay some respect to the, the intent of this movie. We’re. And we’ll get into it. We’re going to get into all that. And since it is Black History Month, for anyone that’s listening and not looking at this, Sean thought it was a good idea to show up in blackface. All right. Plotting the course. This one’s a little bit difficult because it’s so long, there’s so many different points that it comes up with that I’m going to just kind of break it down into five sections based on all the chapters that we go through.

So the very first chapter, it kind of gets you off to the core premise of this movie, which, or documentary, which is that the original Israelites were black. Which isn’t something that I haven’t heard a lot before. Right. So I was kind of like, okay, this is my chance to really understand where some of these claims come from, how true some of those claims are, what the sources are for some of those claims, all of that. So I’m expecting to understand all of these things. So I. How much of this the. Have you heard before? Have you run.

Run through, like, a black, you know, Nation of Islam or like the black Israelites on the, on the street? Not on the street, but in the streets of the Internet. Right. Like, I’ve caught them on the streets. The hardest streets of all. Yeah, yeah, the artist streets of all. You know, in, like, passing too. Like, I’ve had people, maybe they’re not hardcore black Israelites, but, you know, they believe, like, yes. That the first Semitic Israelites were black. Which is not far fetched for me, like, because I’m like, okay, well, the sun is there, Egypt’s there, you’re in Africa.

Like, it’s not like, crazy. But that’s not totally how this story evolves. The second chapter, it starts getting into a bunch of different names of peoples and regions, and it really shows how important how the Semitics and, and just how you pronounce one word in one language and how you pronounce another language that if they kind of sound the same, then you can forgive some slight misspellings here and there, you know, variations. And eventually the premise becomes if these two words sound the same, then they’re the same word and therefore they’re the same people and therefore they all believe the same religion.

And there like it, it starts building down this snowball effect of well, if two words kind of look or sound the same. And that becomes sort of the premise for that. And I’m. I am definitely not unaware of this space too because I know a lot of people that are deep into Gamatria and Gamatria follows a lot of these same sort of rules and properties. So I, I mean I was at home. This again, wasn’t something I was like, wait a minute, are you trying to tell me like, no, I already get exactly the, the premise that you’re going for.

Yeah, I got the, the premise too. And like we’ve seen that a lot in like the numerology, like you said gematria, where this whole like religion breakdown. But it, to me that’s where like you lose me because a lot of the like, it sounds alike or this letter looks like this letter and then they’re, they’re trying to paint this and. And I was gonna keep the one thing that kept annoying me. And this is at one of the parts coincidence or like where he’s like, don’t believe me. Like all that kind of stuff like crazy, go do your own research.

And it’s just like throwing things out. He’s like, has a bunch of stock footage of different things and he’s like, well this word kind of sounds like this word and this word. So they must all be from the same people, same bloodline and like without any actual proof. So yeah, you got your heart on your sleeve today. I. There was once you get into the next chapter in chapter three we go from talking about how words make things similar to now talking about DNA and genetics. And I’ve got a whole set of notes on this one.

We’ll get into more detail. But it get, it gets way over my head really fast. And I’m immediately thinking like, oh, this guy must also be like some sort of geneticist or some scientist that he’s just talking way over my pay grade and there’s not a lot of ramp up to get you. Like, and here’s what these things mean and here’s why this is Proof. And, and the more I. I looked into it later, I was like, okay, maybe he did skip over some of the stuff. Maybe he wasn’t an actual geneticist. But that, but that’s essentially the core premise is that you can prove unequivocally that black people were the first Israelites, the original, you know, Semitic people, and that this is backed up by the words that we still use today that all get traced back to a single root language, essentially, and that all these DNA markers link back, which, again, is not something that I haven’t heard before about the original man coming from Africa and that everything evolves out of, like, this initial seed.

So, and I’m. And I’m one of those, you know, I guess, Darwinian weirdos that’s like, maybe we did come from monkeys. I don’t know. I’m not offended by that. It doesn’t. It doesn’t mean that, like, we can’t also have, you know, a little J man, too, but I don’t know it. This one kind of uses the same logic that I’ve seen applied in other areas, and I guess I’ve just never seen the exact application to this particular claim. So so far the quasi pseudo science checks out, at least in the. I’ve. I’ve heard it all before, just not applied this way.

Except the parts where he kind of switches, like, I don’t want to jump too ahead, but he kind of switches gears of where he’s talking about, like, hey, look at these people in Kenya and, and. And people in the different Arabic states. And like, he’s showing, like, their facial features and like, their skin, basically their skin tone. Because if you really look at the. All the different people he shows, the facial features are totally different. Like, you know what I mean? Like, just that they have dark skin or don’t have dark skin. And then he starts this whole thing of where it’s like, yeah, and then these white dudes, they took it over and like.

But I’m like, if everybody came from the same place, right? Like, wouldn’t it all be the same genetics? Like, wouldn’t it technically be like, we’re all from there? Like, because if we’re basing off of what we’ve heard of where it’s like, well, everybody’s from Africa, Which I. I kind of tend to agree, like, okay, if everything started right there and then it spread out and over time, adaptation through, you know, weather and different climates could change your skin tone and your. Your characteristics. Cool. I’m cool with all that. But then it’s like, well, then wouldn’t everybody be part of this original Israelite group? You can’t think about it that way.

And I can’t explain why. I can just tell you you’re not allowed to think about that way. And I guess for the record, too, I just. I see the logic in these theories. I don’t even know if. If I’m 100 sold on any of them. In fact, I’m kind of equally sold on the OG David Ike theories about how aliens just landed in the Caucus Mountains. And that’s how you get, you know, Caucasians and the all these other, you know, version, like, other races on the planet. Maybe they all came from the same, like, root space species, but they were all just kind of genetically altered in different ways.

According, like, I. I would give that equal footing as Darwinian theory, you know, that we just evolve from animals. I would give it the same weighting as that, you know, the original person came out of Africa and we all evolved from that. So nothing’s off the table unless it’s completely silly, like, I don’t know, Dianetics. Yeah, I. I think that’s a good way to put it. And, yeah, I can see all that. I mean, I kind of actually believe the. The David Ike a little bit more than all of them, actually. Okay, you said it. Yeah, I guess that’s probably me too.

The chapter four, they start getting into Bible references, so get ready to dust off Leviticus and, you know, all the other fun books from the Old Testament. And again, it’s just trying to build up more of a case. And they’re talking about the curse of Cain, the AKA the curse of Ham, which is one of my favorite biblical topics because it’s such a taboo thing that even in modern times has not been resolved. Right. In 2025, you. You kind of mention this depending on what, like, ecclesiastical setting that you’re in. And it has completely different context.

The hardest part for me, when they’re going through the religious part is like, they keep saying kush and I’m from California. Like, I just keep hearing cush. I’m like, yeah, let me go pack one real quick. It’s a rock, though. That’s exactly what it is, is the. The. Yeah, what you’re talking about comes from that region. Like, we wouldn’t have. That’s that Afghani that ak. Right. I think that’s why I felt drawn to this part of the film. Okay, so. And I have a note here, and we’ll get into, like, the. The pros and cons like normal.

But I just have one note here two hours in and we’re just now talking about Leviticus and. And quotes. And I was just like, man, I’m two hours into this documentary and I’m getting Bible verses at me. It wasn’t. I don’t know, for some people that might sound like a fun afternoon, but it gets real deep. And then it was talked about in the chapter four where they’re talking about the biblical evidence for black people being the original Israelites that there were these pygmy tribes, which I, I love this angle, man. The whole, like how the pygmies got completely eliminated by all the other species.

But they’re talking about these pygmy tribes and that quote, Egyptian dwarfs were so plent. Plentiful that it was assumed they were brought in from Canaan. So like all these Canaanites really were. Were these black Pygmies. And that these black pygmies were the true fallen and the ones that were truly marked. And that that’s. It was a way in this movie of sh. Like kind of ex. Shedding away the curse of Ham and the curse of Cain on one race and putting it on Pygmies and being like, hey, they’re already gone. Like that, that was on the Pygmies and we, we don’t have to worry about this curse anymore.

Like it’s been eradicated. Which I thought. I’ve never heard that particular claim that the, the, the curse of Cain and the curse of Ham were just related to the pygmies. When he started talking about the Pygmies too, like, you know what it got me into lure and it started making think of like the fay and stuff. Like, you know, like, is this like more building towards that? Like, because this is when they kind of get into the Nephilim a little bit. And he kind of just like you said, they’re like, yeah, they slept with the Pygmies and they kind of created we.

They’re gone now. Don’t worry. Nephilim no more existent. And then they kind of start claiming that the flood, you know, Noah kind of wiped everything out from that and we’re all good. And that like you said, the. The curse is broken. I really like this too about the whole net, the fallen angel and Nephilim story in Book of Enoch in that it was from the written from the perspective of Pygmies. So the Pygmies see these huge giants and then it’s like, oh wait, that’s just Us that’s just like, like maybe our eight or nine foot ancestors looking over a pygmy.

That, that would be this huge discrepancy that would explain, you know, a literal giant versus a quote, normal sized person. But now we’re somewhere in between. Like we’re, we are the, I guess the children of the fallen angels. So, so we can’t really tell because we’re halfway there. But I, I don’t know. Another perspective that I just guess I never considered that the whole giants came from outer space or fell from heaven might have been written by really tiny people. So does that mean like if you’re 5, 10 and up, you’re Nephilim and if you’re 5, 10 and below, you’re a pygmy? Well, I know.

I think pygmies are just gone. I think pygmies have been eradicated and it’s. Yeah, I mean I want to go on a whole tangent, but it opens up this whole thinking of like man, that means that throughout history we have absolutely have claims of people that were 9 or 10ft tall, right? Like those, those claim. And this isn’t even about like giants. Like this is just certain cultures said that like these warrior classes, like Amazonians and stuff, right? But then you’ve also got very real examples of pygmies like, like cultures and entire villages and regions where everyone’s like you know, four foot or under and then you’ve kind of got all this in between.

But at some point in history there were these massive battles that wiped out the really tall ones and it wiped out the really short ones. And now we’ve just kind of got this average like you just mentioned, somewhere around like five to six foot. But man that, does that mean that five to six foot people like have more merit? Or that like they’re just like survival of the fittest style or like what is that? Like how come the pygmies didn’t win? Because. Because I also think a pygmy culture could maybe get by on less resources, right? Less food, less everything versus some 8 foot or even how like a 6 foot, 300 pound American would probably take way more resources than a like a four foot pygmy dude.

And if they both have the same thinking and brain capacity, then they could both invent the same type of technology, right? So it would make more sense to have more pygmies and less Nephilim. Don’t be a height supremacist, okay? I’m just saying research. Anyway, I said it Was a tangent. I’ll keep going. Chapter five and six. It kind of gets into this, okay, well, what do we do about it now? And it starts leaning into, well, here’s the European story of, you know, European America and European Jesus. And. And again, man, like, I’m on board about the whole Borgia Jesus thing and the white Jesus versus at least a very darker, tanned, brown Jesus.

Right? That’s not even something that you have to sell me on. So by the end of the movie, though, I kind of was getting the. The feeling that, like, there wasn’t anything convincing me. Like, there was. There was no. And. And here’s like, such an obvious thing. Like, you have to believe in the Bible as a reliable source at a certain point, and then you also have to believe in a whole bunch of unexplained DNA jargon that comes up. So I guess I’m just curious before we can go any further on this one, like, did you come away thinking, oh, yeah, there’s proof now? Like, I can go back and refer to something and.

And essentially prove this to someone? Absolutely not. I did not think I was like, this would just, like, make me look like an idiot. Like, they’re gonna be like, oh, really? Because a lot of the arguments they make, like, I’m with you too. Like, I had that same argument. Like, yeah, obviously, like, Jesus being white, European looking with those features and the region that he is from is obvious. But then I’m like, you’re telling me I can’t don’t believe history because it’s written by the. The devils, right? But at the same time, you’re like, yeah, but believe the Bible that was written by the same people, like, or.

Or at least interpreted because they’re showing these interpretations. And I’m like, what interpretation is that from? Like, who interpreted that? Why does it say this? And I’m like, for all I know, you’ve added stuff like if I never read the Bible or anything like that and had. And just watching this at face value, I have to take what they’re saying as true. And they’re telling me that history, nothing but a lie. Because the devil has tricked, you know, everybody to thinking that the black Israelites are really the bad guys. And so we have to take them out.

That’s why they have so much bad fortune. And all the other white people have it easy because they’re really the devil’s kids. I mean, I’m paraphrasing. It’s not exactly what he says, but, you know, like, we’re the spawns of Satan and that we’ve controlled all this. And I’m like, but the books that were interpreted, some of that you’re reading, how do I know it’s not King James version? Are you reading the Ethiopian version? What version are you reading? And again, what are you basing all this stuff off? Because it was written by somebody and interpreted. You’re not getting the original Hebrew version and breaking it down yourself.

So I just think it’s like catches you in this between of where it’s like a gotcha. Like, oh, well, it could be. And I’m like, all right, man, you can’t sell me on a. Could be. Foreign. Let’s talk ripples and waves sometimes. We don’t always go into this, this little segment, but this one seems worthy because the whole reason we’re even watching it is because famous basketball player Kyrie Irving brought it up, right? You know more about this than I do. Yeah, he. This was going around the circles, like around like 2020, when the BLM movement was going around that time and people were inside locked up and people were passing around different things.

And since we see the. The BLM was getting kind of out there more, we were seeing people putting quotes up. And these, this video started circulating heavily because even though it was already alpha, it was like the perfect time to catapult it. Hey, just on a side note, all you documentary people in album people and movie people, hey, sometimes it takes a couple years for it to blow up, right? You never know what life event may happen that triggers this. And Kyrie Irving decided to share the link of it that he saw someone post. And then he lost his Nike deal, got talked down to by the NBA.

He had to apologize, you know, called anti Semitic. He did not write anything, I will add, he just literally shared the link to this video and pretty much got a backlash. And still to this day, he’s already kind of like chastised because he said the earth is flat and he has a obscure views to the mainstream. While I was watching this, that, I mean, that was feeling someone bye bye bias. Because as the documentary is playing, I’m like, all right, which part of this is the part that gets Kyrie Irving in trouble? Like, I don’t understand what some documentary retweeting it is gonna.

And sure enough, chapter one, it’s like. And to quote Henry Ford’s International Jew, and it just starts reading. I was like, okay, I get it. Now I understand exactly why this was a controversial documentary. And building off of what you just said too, this, this is like a. A point of the hypocrisy sometimes, which I struggle with. Just like, I. It fascinates me. And I want to understand it to where anything that, you know, like, Europeans have written in the last couple hundred years is, you know, mostly lies, then you’re going to quote Henry Ford. But Henry Ford is, like, the whitest guy ever, right at the top of the eugenics movement in the early 20th century.

Like, Henry Ford is your guy. He literally has a picture of Hitler on his desk and vice versa. And they’re like pen pals and buddies. And I’m not. I’m not saying any of this to disparage Henry Ford. I’m just highlighting, like, why does Henry Ford get a pass? And I think this leads into the, like, why did Kylie hurt Kyrie Irving, get in trouble? Because giving Henry Ford a pass is definitely what you would. The. The kids would say, like a dog whistle. Right? Like, by starting to quote Henry Ford specifically from his International Jew book, you kind of realize, oh, there’s a reason why this guy gets a pass, and you can kind of tell where it’s going to come from.

And then towards the end of the movie, I. I forgot. I forgot that they quoted Henry Ford at the beginning. I was like, why, again, did he get in trouble? And then they bring up the statistic of. Or a quoted statistic that talks about the. The slave ships were disproportionately owned by Jewish. Maybe not slave masters, but Jewish financiers. And again, it gets into the whole international Jew angle. So that’s what made this relevant, I think, because if it was just Kyrie Irving and a few other people retweeting it and posting it, that’s one thing. But for one of them to retweet it and then get in trouble, and now it makes the news now, like, that probably inflated these numbers big time.

Like this. This dude probably saw so many more views because of the controversy, not because of the promotion. Yeah, so controversy sells 100%. I mean, this is a great example of it. All right, Buried Treasures overboard moments. I’m gonna let you lead this one because, like, I feel like you’re bursting at the seams on. On the overboard. So let me hear it. Yeah, I really don’t have a lot of, like, highlights. I. To me, a lot of his stock footage. To me, there’s a bad message. The overboard moments are the stock footage. The. The bad analogies.

The. The. Not even. I think it’s not even imovie. Like, is he using the original like 2000, like, 8, 9 iMovie icons with the text, like, how it jumps. I can tell you what he’s using. And because I’ve. I’ve fallen to this exact same rabbit hole is that he came across a trip I pirated. You know, shout out to all the pirates out there. But a treasure trove of a whole bunch of, like, Adobe Premiere after effects templates, like, movie intro templates. He probably found, like, 100 of them. And he was like, I’m just gonna use all of them.

He wasn’t, like, picking the best ones or anything. And that’s when we were talking about this movie. When it first starts out, it’s got, like, all these trailers for, you know, the behind the scenes and the documentary about making the documentary and the part two and all this. And I even messaged you at first. I was like, hey, I don’t even know if we’re watching the right one. I think this might be, like, a documentary about the documentary. It’s really confusing. And then after literally about 15 or 20 minutes of all these little, like, credits and intros, then the real movie starts.

And that’s when I was like, okay, this. It was like, you’re supposed to be going into a movie theater and you sit down and you get all the different trailers for all the different stuff is just that in this case, he was trying to give you that cinematic experience. But all those trailers were just clips of, like, what you’re about to watch. It was. It was weird. And immediately I was like, he just couldn’t decide on one trailer and made 20 or 30 of them and stitched them together. Yeah. It reminded me of, like, no Limit albums.

No Limit Record albums. I don’t know what. Like, as soon as it popped up, I’m like, oh, like, you know, I mean, like, I just felt masterpiece. I’m like, maybe he’s like, part of the Master P family tree or something. Because the way they were throwing everything out there, I’m just like. They’re trying to make it, like, hyped up. And like, you said you’re seeing all that. And that’s like, not even though, like. So I’m like, okay, let’s get over that. All right? He’s trying something different. I can respect. I mean, 15 minutes is crazy, though.

It’s actually like, 20 minutes. Like, because I would think it’s like, 20 minutes and some seconds. Because I was like, are you kidding me? Like, I went and checked and paused it. I’m like, oh, here’s the. Because I again, after you even told me. I watched a little bit after, and I’m like, oh, wait, did I get the wrong. Like, I’m looking through once. Like, maybe I thought you meant, like, it was five minutes. Like, I’m like, oh, I didn’t know it was 20 minutes. And then the other annoying part about this film is it just constantly showing you lists of names or places that’s like, literally five minutes.

I’m like, are you kidding me? Is it like I’m waiting for it to stop? It’s like. And then I don’t like the comparisons of, like, you know, when he’s talking about the Canaanites and. And the cushions and all these different, like, biblical figures that, like, everybody split from. I’m like, how are you proving it? You’re just like, well, kind of. Kind of. Maybe he would. Because if you think about it, that guy would come from here. Like, it just reminded me of someone getting super stone or like, a drunk conversation with a cokehead and that they’re just like, yeah, bro.

Like, you didn’t know. If you go to Kenya, they kind of have the same skin complexion, so they’re technically like black Israelites because everybody came from, you know, Moses from the desert and the sun burn people. So obviously you’re like, bro, get out of here. Like this. It was just time after time. And I’m waiting for, like, a significant, like, fact. Like, even some of the quotes that you look up, they’re not. They’re debunked. Like, they’re not even a real quote. It’s not even something like. I think they use a quote of Hitler in there. They use a.

The Henry Ford, which everybody knows about the Henry Ford, which I understand. Like, I just don’t understand the basis of why you start these films, like, without having, like, a root. There’s no root of, like, oh, yeah, dang, that’s pretty interesting. If you had based it on, like, hey, most likely the black Israelites are the first people, because, you know, it comes from Africa. And if we go by the whole thought process of everybody started. Everything started in Africa, then I would be like, okay, that makes sense. But when you’re like, oh, well, this weird DNA company, like, was looking for the original farmers, and they said that, like, but you don’t show the whole statistical, like, what analysis they did, like, what DNA strand proves that.

You’re just like, yeah, well, they did it and they said it’s them. And they don’t really break it down and get into it. I mean, I could literally have A laundry list. I mean, I have three hours and 28 minutes of complaints. So I mean cosign with pretty much everything that you’re talking about here. I, I absolutely love that. This is a good example of how all those hype trailers at the beginning, it shows decent amount of production ability. We’re not talking a Hollywood movie, but for a one man army that, you know, put together this, this whole documentary, it makes it seem like, okay, this guy knows what he’s talking about.

But it falls into the same for me. The criticism that we had in all for Floyd, where all it is, is it’s a huge collection of all the claims that I’ve ever heard put together into one place, but none of it actually goes into. And here’s the origin of that claim and here’s the veracity of that claim. For example, there was a quote from that movie when they’re going through all these lists you said, which was a huge pet peeve because that was like, that’s why this thing is three and a half hours. If you could just read this five to ten minutes of text that you’re about to just read line by line.

If you could have just summarized that and give me like a nice little picture or an analogy that would have trimmed out an extra 10 minutes and that you could have done that five or six or 10 or 20 times in this movie, which would have made it a much easier to watch like hour and 20 minutes or something. So anyway, anyways, one of the quotes is, and this can be proven by researching the history of. And then they just list like 10 cultures. And I just, I had to stop it. I had to make a note to myself like, you’re telling me that I’m about to watch a three and a half hour documentary and you’re already starting off with here’s 10 cultures to just research on your own.

And if you want any of the things that I just said in the first, like, you know, five minutes of this movie to be backed up, like you can’t even throw me a boner here. You can’t even like cherry pick the best examples. And I think that that was a good representation for the rest of this movie where you’re going to get a whole bunch of claims thrown at you and then it’s going to be like, and read these 20 books out of the Bible and then go and research these 20 cultures and then, you know, and this will be proven to you.

It’s like, what is the documentary for if not that you’re the one that took that effort to go and find that stuff and present it to me so that I don’t have to go and research, you know, do a lifetime of actual research so that it rubbed me the wrong way. And that just. That doesn’t go away in this documentary. And like, you mentioned too, I can’t remember which movie this was that we originally went into this. But instead of making claims themselves, the. The director is just kind of asking questions like, were Israelites the original, you know, or were blacks the original Israelites? And do these two things link up? I’ll let you be the judge.

And he even threw in respect. Even threw in a. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Which was clearly a LeVar Burton reading rainbow, right? I don’t know if you caught that or not. Yeah, I did. I did. That’s one of the parts. Like. Or would it be like, coincidence? Like, I think not like, it’s. And to your point, to add on a little bit, it’s like, yeah, here’s all this material after 20, 30 years of studying, you may understand what I understand. And I’m like, no, bro, I’m watching this documentary so I can know and get ahead of the curve.

I’m not like, if you just want to give me a laundry list of different subjects or sources I could check out, I could just go look up the Internet, man. I don’t need to, you know, you to show me a list of things. And also, this comes from a book, right? And I was like, this is the one instance where they try to make the book the same amount. I mean, the movie, the same amount of time as the book. Also this, this particular one, I’ve got so many other examples. I’m going to try and cherry pick some of them.

So another example was listing off all of these DNA genetic markers and terms. And almost immediately I got the impression that the. The person delivering this themselves does not understand any of this information. And some of the things that were being considered as proof. For example, one of the. The claims in here, and we’re going to bridge these two things. One of the. The claims is that Native Americans had, quote, theocratic or like, theological intentions, and which is a very vague way of saying that they had a form of religion. And since they had religion, it was technically the same as this older religion.

And therefore it was the same peoples. And therefore black Israelites and Native Americans are essentially the same. Like, there’s a whole bunch of. And therefore, and therefore, and therefore, and therefore. And if at any point you’re like, wait a minute. I disagreed with, like, the third thing that you said there. But he’s already linking number 7, 8, 9, 10, and there’s no way of stopping. So you have to agree on all these different assumptions that keep building, building up for thousands of years in order to really, I think, fully accept the premise of this movie. So what about the treasure moments? You said there’s nothing at all.

Not. Not even the Pygmies. Yeah, yeah, I liked what you said. I didn’t think of. I think I was also like, you know, when you’re watching these films, sometimes, like, you can get your, like, know, stonewalling. And so I was stonewall, I guess. Yeah. When you brought up the Pygmy and like, the Nephilim part, like, that was interesting, but the Pygmy aspects, the only one I’ve never heard. Everything else was like, just utter garbage. Okay, well, I got. Here’s my treasure, my hidden treasures. In this, the Pygmy was the biggest one. That they also make the claim in this movie that Pygmies were expert alchemists and magicians and that Pygmies were the source of leprechaun myths, which I’d never even heard that claim before, and that there were these watchers and fallen angels that again, making the Nephilim, which were just us, the giants.

Because it was written from like, this Pygmy perspective. I thought all that was fascinating. He also gets into some interesting things about the origin of Spain and Coney island and the land of the Coney, or I guess Coney Tran. It’s like a Phoenician word of Safania, which translates to rabbits. And that there’s something in Leviticus about not eating rabbits. And it’s related maybe to the region of Spain. And the only reason that this one was interesting to me is because the. The. I believe it’s like the Iberian Peninsula in Spain was one of the last refuges after the Canaan fell.

After, like, the whole Phoenician Empire fell, Carthage fell. That. That was the last spot is they all kind of went to the coast of Spain. And from there is where you get, like, modern Phoenician culture making its way also down into, like, the top of Africa. Because Carthage is at. Was where Tunisia is at modern day. And that all that culture did spread into Africa. So, like, there’s. There’s clearly historic evidence. Unfortunately, this particular documentary doesn’t go into any of that cool stuff about the history of Carthage. And I think it would have added so much more credibility and, and just interest.

But it makes. It makes a lot of those kind of claims. And I thought that the. The Coney Island, I’d never heard that, that it means island of the rabbits. Also, my. My main note was that this is just a black zeitgeist. Like, instead of having the Jesus myth, like, their version is like a Jesus myth and a pygmy myth. And if you buy into this whole, like, pygmy fallen angel thing, then it’s essentially zeitgeist all over again. That is a great comparison. And then, let’s see. Okay, please don’t hate me. I just had to make this particular note, but I have a offensive self note on here.

They’ll just read out verbatim. But if you’ve got. Okay, this is my note. And it literally says, don’t hate me for thinking this so much hinges in this documentary on how words sound and how they’re pronounced. Because if this culture says this word and it sounds kind of like this one, then that means those cultures are the same. It’s one of those huge logic gaps they keep making in this. And my note was that then why would you pronounce the word earth as earth? And I understand that it’s like the Ebonic or whatever the modern name for ebonics is the Vern, like a African American vernacular language.

But if. If you truly have made your focus understanding the linguistics of different peoples, it just seems like you’re adding complexity to a system that you’re already involved in. And why wouldn’t you be very meticulous with exactly how you spell and pronounce words and not, you know, mispronounce them just because of how important the pr. The enunciation is? I don’t know. Am I. Am I out of line for even thinking that? No, I totally agree. That’s a good point that you bring up because you’re studying the language and how important what words mean and what they sound like.

If you’re putting the importance on that, then shouldn’t you be, like, really careful of how you use them? And. And again, I think that this movie has a very certain audience and it works freaking perfectly. Because the type of person that’s going to retweet this and be like, yo, this is the proof right here, clearly doesn’t have a high standard for proof. And they’ll fall this. It’s a classic logical fallacy called the Gish Gallop. And it’s where you just load so many claims on someone that now they’re gonna have to spend a lifetime actually verifying all the stuff that you said and what a normal human brain usually does.

It’s like, ah, they’re probably not making it up. You know, you just kind of like, ah, they wouldn’t lie about this much stuff. Go ahead, tell me all your facts. And then it just kind of gets spread around. So this is kind of an example of that. I think it’s, it’s kind of well produced in that the, the editing that does exist is done well. Although there’s not a lot of editing in the movie. So that’s why you get this three and a half hour thing. If this could have a, like a loose change style edit where it’s like the revised, revised HD 2025 edition, where it’s a nice tight 60 to 90 minutes, I think that it, that would actually help this thing out because as he starts reading on all these lists and starts making all these different claims, you can cut out all the things that maybe you can’t back up as much instead of including them.

All right, start time. Sinkers swim. I think I already know your answer. This is a Titanic for me all the way, man. This is just like, because I was going in, I’ve, I’ve heard about it, I have not watched this and like I was hoping to get a lot out of it. And I think part of the problem was it was so long, like you said, like it drags on and it has a lot of scenes that don’t need to be there. And, and I just felt like the dude just kind of like didn’t really take this seriously as far as like, maybe he takes it seriously, but meaning when I say don’t take it seriously, like he has not done the research, like he’s just copying somebody else.

And he’s like, yeah, this guy said that. I agree. Like, you know what I mean? He, he’s preaching to the choir. He made something for people that already feel this way. He didn’t try to like open minds or like, hey, this is some hidden truth. Like you said, there’s a little bit dabble and it made me miss it. So that tells me that you didn’t do a good job. That where I’m not focusing as much of this because you’re boring me to death with like lists of stuff and you’re telling me to do my own research.

And I’m like, well, I could do my own research. Like I could do that on my own. It’s, it’s just an all the way sing for me. I think that’s a perfect analogy for this movie. Like best explanation is that it wasn’t made to convince anyone that wasn’t already convinced going in. If you knew what this movie was about and you agree with it, it’s just very self serving. So I mean I, I guess I gave it a sink for all the same reasons that you did too. I, I struggled because like the only thing that would make me say that that isn’t a sink, that this was a swim, which it’s so far away.

It’s, it’s like you know, 20,000 leagues away from being a swim. But it would have been if it was shorter for sure. And that if it at least explained more of the background on this and didn’t go into like the DNA and it just felt it was so out of its depth trying to do so many different things at once. But it could have been a swim just because it’s, it should be this reference material of like okay, black Israelites. I’ve heard all the claims are like 5% nation and the original man and white devils and they didn’t even get into like Yakob, which maybe it’s like it’s, it was too deep for all this, but it doesn’t make it interesting, it doesn’t make it compelling.

There’s nothing about it that really made me want to look deeper into the particular claims just because it was. Where do I start? Do I go back to chapter one when you said look into these 10 cultures? If you want proof of this like really quick claim that I was able to throw out there. It sends you. This is a documentary that sends you home with two decades of research easily. It doesn’t summarize the thing for you and clearly spell it out for you, which maybe I just need because I’m not as deep of a thinker.

But yeah, it was clearly this. If you already believe in these quotes, you’ve probably already heard these quotes. And here’s like some cool imagery, here’s some cool stock photography and some music to go along with it. And in fact I was looking at some of the reviews and one of the favorable reviews on IMDb on this, it was like a three out of 10. And it was someone that clearly agreed with the entire movie and, and they were like, these are all fat, you know, you’re spitting facts, blah, blah, blah. But they were like, why were you trying to turn this into a whole bunch of music videos? Or why, like why did you put all this loud music in these flashy graphics and not just get down to the brass tax, essentially.

So I think that even if you agree with what this documentary is trying to say, it’s still not a good representation. Right? Even, even if you don’t think that it’s just patched together in other people’s words and not backed up well enough, it still doesn’t have the, the same, like, gravitas that it would need to convince someone outside that community. All right, on the horizon up next, we’re going to continue Black History Month. And the documentary that we’re watching next is called Accidental Courtesy, about a guy named Daryl Davis who infiltrates the kkk. Yeah, this is actually one of my favorites, man.

I, I, this is one I wanted to put on the list because this is, it’s controversial to some, but I feel like it’s going to be a great watch. All right. I hadn’t seen this before. I think I’ve heard of Daryl Davis, but I’ll go into this one a little bit blind. So I guess we’ll see you guys for the next Black History Month. Special edition of under the Docks. Peace.
