[Music] to expand further on the whole uh um uh black people uh issue that people think is also another thing that's uh if you look at the banel and also mid uhel uh and he talks about how uh during the time of um mosenu you all remember that we learned about the significance of foram Miram was a prophet she spoke to God and God answered we could speak as much as we want he has an answer she spoke to God and he answered on top of that there was a river of water that followed am for 40 years only because of her benefit to her Merit when she died it stopped and everyone went to a panic which means that was kesim but saw that mosenu left his wife T and uh she asked the question why did he leave the kushit why he leave the black woman so some sages say that the word kushit means is in essence a uh it's opposite tongue meaning that it says that Tor was so beautiful that she called her why did he leave the ugly person just so there's no no because like I said before black is not black complexion uh like a black person black meaning someone that's uh sick or something like that or representing ugliness uh so she said why do you leave that ugly person because she was so beautiful that to say why to leave his wife everyone knew it immediately connected M's wife with beauty it create it create creat different things in their mind all types of things so that's common most people know what's the both and mid say no no no no was actually from midan was from midan midan was next door neighbor to what kush Kush is what it's where all the black people are it's in Africa meaning T was a black woman which means that the wife of mosenu was black and was extraordinarily beautiful which also means that one of the most important converts in all of history was also black person by the name of left everything left all the in in the world all the wealth all the money all the everything and he came to is to become part of is came to and that's why there's a par named after him that's why he had the Merit for his wife his daughter to be married to the prophet of all prophets so obviously this is a obvious example that uh being black is not look frowned upon Shalom not by not by God not by anyone that actually knows tor now as far as the uh the curse of this is also a when you actually understand the concept of a of what I'm going to tell you right now you're GNA understand the answer that I'm going to give you right now which also mentioned par sh but also in by the ram you'll understand how silly the question is how silly the question is by the answer this is again no offense to anyone this is again for all of those people that think that number one uh uh there's any type of racism in the Torah there's any type of anything negative in the Torah against people against creation okay so now the question is if someone is black and he converts does he still have an issue because in essence he's a descendant of of H so the descendants of H was signified by their black complexion but it doesn't mean that anyone that's black is cursed why because that's just the complexion what you are as far as religion is concern that's up to you so when someone joins and decides to accept upon themselves to they not only are no longer cursed but they become part of the chosen people that is blessed to such an extent that hm told our a Ab a and yob I will bless those that bless thee and I will curse those that curse thee anyone that blesses you I'll bless them anyone that curses you is going to get a special VIP mail for me of a curse [Music]
