Is raw milk safe to drink. And yes, before you get all smart and sarcastic, I looked it up online and it says raw milk is verbally not safe to consume. But I have a friend that is going to pick up some right now and I’ve heard on instagram that you can safely drink it. And if it is safe to drink, where can I buy some?

There is a group known as the “black Hebrew Israelites”. They have multiple different “camps” (basically what us Christians would call different churches or denominations) they have one named Israel united in Christ, Israelite church of God in Jesus Christ, Israelite school of universal practical knowledge, and so on and so forth. They claim that the twelve tribes of Israel are as follows:

Judah: American blacks (African Americans)

Benjamin: West Indies blacks

Levi: Haitians

Ephraim: Puerto Ricans

Manasseh: Cubans

Simeon: Dominicans

Zebulon: Guatemala to Panama (Mayans)

Gad: American Indians

Reuben: Seminole Indians

Asher: Colombia to Uruguay (Incas)

Issachar: Mexican (Aztecs)

Naphtali: Argentina/chile

They claim that ONLY these people are the descendent of the ancient twelve tribes of Jacob and ONLY these people will/can inherit salvation and go to heaven. They believe all other outside ethnic groups are not Israelites and therefore CANNOT and WILL NOT go to heaven. They also claim that Jesus Christ Himself (who they call Yahawashi HaMashiach) descended from the tribe of Judah and therefore looked like an American blacks today would have looked. They claim that Jesus is black and the image of the beast is the image of white Jesus. They claim that the image of white Jesus is the image of Ba’al. They also claim that American whites are Edomites and descend from the children of Edom/Esau and are doomed to destruction and hell and not ONE white can be saved due to what we did to our brother Jacob (American chattel slavery. They reference the prophecies from the book of Obadiah as evidence for this claim.

Matthew 15:24

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

They use this verse as evidence that ONLY the Israelites can be saved and all other outside groups are destined for hell/destruction. What are your thoughts on this group and their claims?
