I watched it out of curiosity.

Rolling Stone culture writer Jon Blistein ranted that the movie is "stuffed with antisemitic tropes". (archive.ph) The article has links to the ADL and SPLC (among lots of others) to prove the assertions. So I guess I watched it just to see what an "antisemitic trope" is.

The narrator is the guy who wrote the book Hebrews to Negroes. The film touches on the similarities of ancient Hebrew scripts and ancient scripts found throughout the world. Also similar spoken languages. Some of it seems believable, some of it seems like a real stretch.

He posts a quote from Henry Ford, and a couple of damning quotes from Harry Rosenthal. And he mentions the Protocols and brings up the slave ship owners but doesn't go into much depth.

But the movie isn't about anti-semitism per se. He claims that blacks are the true Hebrews. He claims European jews conspired to hide the truth that Africans are God's original "Chosen Ones".

He says some funny stuff in the movie, like "After spending 400 years in America, negroes of West Africa have mastered the English language." And there's an obvious fabricated quote attributed to Hitler, something about negroes being "the jewels of God."

But the movie is pretty well done technically (allegedly on an $8000 budget), and he makes some interesting points...which may or may not fall completely apart on further investigation.

And I still don't know what an "antisemitic trope" is.

Edit: Fwiw here's the alleged Hitler quote. https://twitter.com/PabloTorre/status/1587111930350682116/photo/1

Yeah right. You wanted to know if you were Hebrew or not.

Well, I haven't sent my spit to any "ancestry test" gene bank, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be mistaken by the average man on the street as a hebrew. Or a negro, for that matter.
