Chapter three addresses Cush, Ham’s oldest son. It is written in Genesis 10:20 that “These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries and their nations.” When expanding what is being stated here, we find that Cush is not just the name of one person, but also the name of the family line he procreated, also the name of the language they spoke, and the name of the nation they formed. History, archeology and anthropology teach us that Cush is the name Europeans changed to Ethiopia. The term Ethiopia actually is not a name at all, but a Greek description of what the Cushites looked like. This Greek term actually means, “Burnt face people”, or what we would call Black faced people today. The Greeks were describing what they saw, not reporting what the people call themselves. Here again, we find white supremacy at work. Once white people named something, that is what they insist it really is named. This is not the name the people called themselves. So, it’s only been since the conquest of Alexander of Macedon, (Alexander the Great), that the people of Cush have been called Ethiopian. In fact, when the people of the country, we know today as Ethiopia, named their nation Abyssinia, the western world rejected it until they accepted the European name Ethiopia. White supremacy won again, helping to continue the confusion, as to who the people of the Bible were.
In this book Emanuel has very skillfully, helped to clear up this confusion, created by European superiority, which the European mother church, helped perpetuate.
