Racial Purity, Armstrongism and Haile Selassie



There was a post on Stuff Fundies Like the other day about a letter that was written to Bob Jones University about interracial dating.  The letter refered to the story that Moses married an Ethiopian.  Bob Jones III had the typical things a fundamentalist would say (as do far right Armstrongites.)There are two types of Ethiopians - blacks and whites.  Whites were the good kind and that is what Moses married.

What struck me as interesting in the post was the reference to Haile Selassie.  Remember how Herbert Armstrong salivated over this man.  He featured him on the Plan Truth, showered him with Steuben Crystal and made numerous visits with the man. Selassie also bedecked HWA with gifts and medals.



What was HWA's fascination with the man?  Could it be partly in reference to the comments made by Bob Jones?  Jones like HWA was not too keen on close ties with blacks.  Selassie was looked upon as a white Ethiopian and NOT one of the black Ethiopians. Therefore in HWA's British Israel thought process, white was good.  HWA assumed that Selassie was a direct descendant of the Queen of Sheba also an Ethiopian.  Because she was mentioned in the Bible interacting with Solomon, she therefore had to be white, since the Christan church has compared Solomon and Sheba at many times as Solomon being a type of Christ and Sheba being the Church.  Because Christ marries the church, therefore Christ could NOT have married a black woman!

COG Member Says: Buddhists and Atheists Inbreeding White America Into Extinction


You never know what silliness you will find an Armstrongite spouting next.  There is a guy on Yahoo who feels he is the COG's foremost authority on British Israelism and racial purity.

Here is what he had to say tonight on intermarriage:

There is a coalition of:
Fabians
One Worlders
Universalists
Atheists
Buddhists
Taoists
Globalists
Liberals
and 'Don't Care'
types that are trying to get the races to interbreed into on. They know full well that White Caucasians will be extinct within 100-150 years - unless there is a backlash in Europe ...

Is it any wonder that society looks upon Armstrongites and cultists with such derision! What fools!
