The Nickson View II: The Answer to the Horowitz-10

By Victor L. Nickson

The topic of Reparations will be discussed as a subtext or main topic in America for as long as the Republic lasts. My book is not the fi rst on this subject nor will it be the last. But I can assure you that not many will match its comprehensiveness.

It discusses a continuum from ancient Hebrew Law, Roman Law, the 911 terrorist attack, th

About the Author

Foreword

The living God guided my hand and charged me with a mission to write this rebuttal, to David Horowitz’s ten excuses why blacks should not get reparations, in memory of our slave forefathers. This mission allowed me to shine a light in a dark place.

Introduction

There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men (Proverbs 30:14).

There are some people in America who wish the African- American poor, in particular, and black people in general would just disappear from the face of the earth. Mr. David Horowitz has presented ten excuses why reparations should not be paid to blacks. I will rebut those excuses, in due course.

However, along the way, we will discover a whole host of far flung but hitherto little known or altogether hidden facts about black people, that may appear unrelated at first, but meld together to form the mosaic that is crucial to understanding black life.

For example, we will find that contrary to popular opinion, black people did not develop last, but developed first, and have contributed immeasurably to human history, from biblical times to the present.

We will find that blacks invented the first two great civilizations, Canaan, the original land of milk and honey, and Egypt, acknowledged by both liberals and conservatives, as the country which laid the foundation for Western Civilization, along with Greece and Rome.

In addition, we will find that The Black Wall Street was bombed by terrorist in 1921, eighty years before The Wall Street area was bombed on September 11, 2001, but the responses to the bombings were treated much differently.

Moreover, we will find that the Bundesentschaedigungsgesetz specifically qualifies the more well-known, political, religious or ideological reparations, as well as the lesser known, racial reparations.

We have been lead to believe that racial reparations are not qualifying.

We will, also, find that one of the Founding Fathers called slavery a cruel war against human nature, and blamed the king for introducing it into the colonies. Yet people today want to blame-shift the initiation of the transatlantic slave trade to the Arabs and even to the Africans themselves.

Furthermore, we will find that the Fugitive Slave Laws were against ancient Hebrew Law, Roman and International law, and that individual slavery should have ended in 1626 and not 1865.

Additionally, we will find that the reparations clock is still ticking, and that the iniquities of the father can be visited upon the sons until the fourth generation.

We will show these and many other facts, and then we will close with my recommendations to the black community about what we must do to help ourselves.

Chapter One

The Bible as The Basis for Reparations

Let us begin to examine the facts surrounding this debate, in a very unconventional, but hopefully, very inspirational way, by relating some Bible passages, beginning with the stories of Joseph and Judah.

…I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt (Genesis 45:4).

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me hither:for God did send me before you to preserve life(Genesis 45:5).

My brothers and sisters be not grieved that Mr. Horowitz has written his anti-black tome, entitled Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks is a Bad Idea, and Racist Too. Be thankful. We must remember the story of Joseph. Joseph’s jealous brothers first buried him in a pit, and left him for dead. The Midianites discovered Joseph, and then sold him to the Ishmaelites for 20 pieces of silver. Potiphar, captain of Pharaoh’s guard then bought Joseph from the Ishmaelites.

Later, Joseph was set over the house of Pharaoh as a reward for Joseph’s correct interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream, to wit, Egypt would have seven years of great plenty followed by seven years of famine. Joseph was given the task of preparing all of Egypt for the seven famine years.

To shorten the story, Joseph’s brothers thought they had done a bad thing, by selling Joseph into slavery in Egypt. Joseph saw it a different way. He saw it as God’s way. He told them not to worry, that God was behind their deed. He said, as noted above, God did send me before you to preserve life.

Just as Joseph saw his bondage as a good thing, we, my black brothers and sisters, should see Mr. Horowitz’s unfavorable writings as a good thing; as a gift from God; produced so that I would be given this opportunity to show light in a dark place.

Judah

We blacks are related through Shelah, Tamar and Judah to the line that produced Jesus. Thus we are a people with a rich history, which cannot be dismissed. In addition, Simon, one of the 12 Apostles was black.

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham (St. Matthew 1:1). Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his bretheren (St. Matthew 1:2.).

And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram (St. Matthew 1:3). "and Obed begat Jesse

(St. Matthew 1:5)."

And Jesse begat David…and David…begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias (St. Matthew 1:6). And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Mathan; and Mathan begat Jacob (St. Matthew 1:15).

And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ (St. Matthew 1:16).

Thus Jesus descended from the Tribe of Judah, (the same as Judas above, in St. Matthew 1:3.)

And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her (Genesis 38:2). And she conceived…Er (Genesis 38:3).

And she conceived again…Onan (Genesis 38:4). And she yet again conceived…Shelah (Genesis 38:5).

And Judah took a wife for Er…whose name was Tamar (Genesis 38:6).

This is the same Tamar, (Thamar), in the Jesus lineage in St. Matthew 1:3, above. Er and Onan were later slain by God.

And in the process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died (Genesis 38:12). And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan (Genesis 10:6).

Ham was black. The Canaanites, who descended from Ham, were also, black. Since Judah impregnated a Canaanitish woman, and produced Er, Onan, and Shelah, it follows that Er, Onan, and Shelah were black, as well.

And she (Tamar), …sat in an open place (Genesis 38:14). When Judah saw her (Genesis 38:15).

And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come unto thee…And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me (Genesis 38:16)?

And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him (Genesis 38:18).

And it came to pass in the time of her travail…behold twins were in her womb (Genesis 38:27). "Therefore his name was called Pharez (Genesis 38:29)." This is the same Pharez, (Phares), in the Jesus lineage, above, in St. Matthew 1:3.

And his name was called Zarah (Genesis 38:30). This is the same Zarah, (Zara), in the Jesus lineage, above, in St. Matthew 1:3.

The Twelve Tribes of Israel were: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Dinah was their sister.

The easiest way to remember the early Hebrew lineage is with the acronym ASIR JR, pronounced A Sir Junior. It stands for Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, Rachel.

Abraham and Sarah produced Isaac. Isaac married Rebekah and they produced Jacob. Jacob married Rachel, and they plus Jacob and Leah, Jacob and Zilpah, and Jacob and Bilhah, produced the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

One might ask, What’s going on here?

Here is what is going on. Judah, one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, married a Canaanite woman, a black woman. That union produced three black sons, Er, Onan, and Shelah.

Tamar married Er, and was later widowed by him. After Judah’s black wife died, Judah impregnated Tamar, his widowed daughter-in- law, in error. Tamar produced Judah’s twins, Pharez and Zarah. This lineage eventually produced Jesus.

So we can say that Jesus was produced from the union of Judah and Tamar, a black man’s widow.

Or stated another way: Shelah was Tamar’s brother-in-law. Moreover, the three, Shelah, Pharez and Zarah were also half- brothers, sharing the same father, Judah, but not the same mother.

Thus, Shelah, the black man, is not only the great- great-grandson of Abraham, he is also, the great-grandson of Isaac.

In addition, not only is he the grandson of Jacob, but the remaining 11 Tribes of Israel, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin, plus Dinah are his uncles and aunt respectively. Finally, combined with the above, Shelah, was half-brother to the line that produced Jesus.

Why is this important? It is important for this reason. Now, we can walk into this debate, armed with this information, not stoop shouldered and bowing down with our hands out, but with our heads held high, deeply rooted on solid ground, knowing that we have been at the center of human history, from time immemorial.

This is significant when we go to do debate battle with the right wing. You will find that historically, these people have been opposed to reparations, affirmative action, DC Statehood, will not admit that blacks were disenfranchised by governmental officials in Florida in the 2000 Presidential election, and will not admit that there is police brutality and racial profiling going on. Anything the black agenda is for, conservatives are against.

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman (Numbers 12:1).

Yes, Moses married a black woman. Therefore, we can conclude that conservative Bob Jones University’s long-standing ban on interracial marriage was wrong.

****

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these… (Matthew 10:2). Simon, the Canaanite… (Matthew 10:4).

Yes, Simon, a black man, was one of the Twelve Disciples. He was one of Jesus’ main men. If black people are inferior intellectually, as professor Charles Murray has maintained, in his book, The Bell Curve, then why would Jesus pick one of us?

One might ask What does all this have to do with the reparations debate? It has everything to do with the reparations debate. Everything black people have ever done is material to this debate. It helps define who we are. There is nothing more basic than that. So much of our history has been left out. God has given me this one opportunity to tell our side of story on our
