BTW, **thanatic** , everything you wrote here is wrong. Some if it is so off base as to be not even wrong, it’s just odd. And the punctuation is awful but I’ll let that slide. You’ve posted a content free thread, and you’re being called on it. It has nothing to do with thinking outside the box. ---

> [@thanatic](#): > > i mean Einstein was a fake white jew, he was a khazar and yet he presented himself as “Jewish” > > the real jews are the black americans, but yet Einstein claimed he was Jewish I am willing to entertain odd claims of “cosmologies” as long as they don’t hurt anyone, but this is The Straight Dope and flat out errors of fact can’t be allowed to sit uncontested. The Khazars were a real people living near the Black Sea. Around the ninth century, they, (or the aristocracy among them) did convert _en masse_ to Judaism. You can find this information in such “secret” texts as the Encyclopedia Hebraica or Paul Johnson’s bestselling work, A History of the Jews. (In other words, the history of the Khazars has never been kept a secret from anyone who wanted to look them up.) Shortly after WWII, a few rabid anti-semites (probably inspired by a need to disassociate modern Jews from the ancient Israelites as the new nation of Israel was being formed), began promoting the idea that the “real” Jews were actually descendants of a Turkic tribe who converted to Judaism. Quite a few of these kooks got their views into print. (For a while, there was even an entire website devoted to republishing their nonsense.) Unfortunately, in the 1970s, Arthur Koestler, thinking that if he could prove the Khazar origin claim true he could put to rest all the silly “race” claims about the Jews, published The Thirteenth Tribe in which he argued that the Jews of Eastern Europe were actually the descendants of the Khazars. The book was a popular success and a critical failure, (because it was filled with lots of conjectures but few facts–and those facts did not support his theory). Between Koestler’s book and the anti-semite ravings of Benjamin Freedman and others, the idea of the Khazars being the origins of the Ashkenazi Jews, (while pretending that the Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews did not even exist), has made it into the beliefs of a number of people. Unfortunately for the “Jews as Khazars” gang, as DNA testing became more available and more widespread, people began [actually testing the origins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_of_Jewish_origins) of the various Jewish groups. The result: the Ashkenazi Jews have been demonstrated to be more closely related to Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews than they are to other ethnic groups. There is a bit of mixing with more “local” populations, (which would be expected as traders and merchants moved into other lands and inter-married within the first few generations). In other words, the ancient tradition that the Jews of Eastern Europe were actually migrants from the Germanic regions of Central Europe, having migrated there from the Mediterranean basin, turns out to be true and claims that Ashkenazi Jews are “really” Khazars is nonsense. As for the “blacks are the real Jews” theme of various websites, there is utterly no evidence to support this and DNA tests demonstrate that there is nothing to it. With this background, it is clear that any attempt to call a Jew a “liar” for simply identifying his or her religion is nothing but more anti-semitic bullshit. I do not accuse you of being a liar. I suspect that you have simply been misled. However, now that you have the accurate information, you can refrain from embarrassing yourself with claims that will bring ridicule down on you. ---

Many people have used astrology to make predictions, and generally most of these predictions have failed.

> [@thanatic](#): > > i just dont understand why we can’t substitute african cosmology and astrology for relativiy and quantun mechanics Does that cosmology include the math to examine distant galaxies? Does it include mathematical principles that would allow us to develop and use nuclear power or to plot the path to send ships to explore the moon, Mars, the sun, or distant planets? Substituting African cosmologies, (I presume there are more than one), for Greek based philosophy or Hebrew or Arabic based theologies might be quite possible. Substituting a cosmology for actual mathematics and science when the cosmologies do not permit one to study the physical world in functional ways will simply fail on the grounds that mathematics and science provide more useful answers. ---

> [@thanatic](#): > > . . . africans/blacks have been disenfranchized… so “black power” doesn’t have the same negative connotations as “white power” Agreed. The slogan, in its time (and today) refers more to achieving equality than to achieving superiority. > [@](#): > > so saying “black supremacy” is not as bad as “white supremacy” Here, though, you lose me again. Equality is good. Supremacy sucks. I do not want to be a master or a slave, only an equal partner. I’ll fight to change the system that keeps blacks down…but I’m damned if I’ll put myself down as part of the process! (I actually approve of “affirmative action” programs, which some see as putting whites at a disadvantage. I don’t agree with that assessment, and I believe it is vital to break up the existing unbalanced entitlement system, such as the “legacy” system of college admissions.) Seriously, isn’t “equality” a good enough goal? ---
