Summary: Bad Scholarship
Comment: Some useful info. However, the book lacks scholarship; i.e., the book simply recites the dubious works of many Afrocentric "scholars". How is it possible to assert that three men born of same mother and father can be of different races, simply because the hue of their skins may have been different? They conjecture that the hues of Ham, Shem, and Japheth are black, dusky (olive) and fair (I suppose this means white) from their names; however, a review of concordances and lexicons hasn't yielded any support for their conjectured hues. If different hues imply different races, then most African American families include different races (probably even those of the authors). Wake up. Haven't you heard that race is a political construct. Race has no biological meaning, as was once purported in the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

Summary: Beyond the Roots
Comment: I think William McKissic goes out of his way not to offend anyone in this pampmhlet, rather than tell it like it is. I think in this day and age a person should feel compelled to tell the truth, rather than to have the truth swept under the carpet. One point that Mr McKisssic fails to make is that the Hebrews who were already a dark skinned race who intermarried with the Hamatic nations to become a blend of one race. There are numerous examples which show that this misgenation of the Hebrews took place. McKissic is also incorrect in saying that Shem, Ham and Japeth were of 3 distinct races. Many scholars feel that they were of the same race, however the areas in which they chose to settle brought on the need for melanin or the lack there of in Japeth's descendant's case. But one thing is certain, many Hebrews were mistaken for Hamatic people throughout the bible. Joseph is mistaken for an Egyptian in Genesis 42, and Paul is mistaken for an Egyptian by the Romans in Acts 21:38. Also McKissic fails to mentions the pictures of Yeshua (Jesus the Christ) which clearly shows that he was black, needless to say these pictures pre-dates the Eurpean image of Christ that was created during the 15th century by at least 1000 years. I think better research would have served McKissic well, rather than not trying to ruffle any feathers. This world has been living a lie for more than 500 years, thanks to European colonialism, it is time that we correct these myths. Mr McKissic work stops short of correcting these myths, and it makes me wonder, what or who he is afraid of. Slavery is over Mr McKissic you need not bow down to any man!
