Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan - Christianity's Afrikan Roots (1979)
African History Club recording of a speech by Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan on Founder's Day 1979. Shared for historical purposes.
Yosef Alfredo Antonio Ben-Jochannan (/ˈbɛn ˈjoʊkənən/; December 31, 1918 - March 19, 2015), referred to by his admirers as "Dr. Ben", was an American writer and historian. He was considered to be one of the more prominent Afrocentric scholars by some Black Nationalists, while most mainstream scholars[who?] dismissed him because of the basic historical inaccuracies in his work, as well as disputes about the authenticity of his educational degrees and academic credentials. - wikipedia

I sat before this man at his lectures 1980s with no regrets while residing in the Washington DC area. It is February 2023 and I am so blessed to have done so.
The person who was in the amen corner spoiled it for me! Why do ignorant people do this in lectures!

@@marydavis7978You guys are funny.
If you're speaking of his classes at Sojourner Truth, I was right there with you! Think it was there that he shared his Ethiopian connection.
We would still be blind to so much African knowledge if it wasnt for Dr.Ben
Grazie fra e vero
WE ARE SO BLESSED WELL SAID PREACH AND 🌱+📚+🔑=⏳👑
Yes we owe him so much Honor it's my duty to make his name ring in the ears of the youth
This is very true. That man like Garvey didn't take no shots in relation to having a firm footing as a man . Beloved

Baba Yosef Ben Jochannan is our great Pan African warriors of all time as a scholar, an anthropologist, a Kemetologist and an author. Sharp, defiant and never afraid to tell it like it is.
Don't forgethe was also a Egyptologist
This dude is the truth. Rest in power to fathers tellin it how it is Dr. John henrik Clark Dr Yosef ben jochannan. Baba Dick Gregory Rest in power we need yall now more than ever
Asar Amenemhat, for real, you’re under everyone’s comment talking bs. Clearly, you’re the troll. Carry on
dick was definitely a masonic troll . dont trust no comedian to tell u the truth
@ Kaleah Collins And just what work and research have you put in to verify and confirm that what you say about these men is truth, that what they say is truth? To argue against or support any Religious, philosophical, or scientific doctrine or system you yourself must first be thoroughly grounded in and well informed about those systems or doctrines to draw any reasonable conclusions about them, one way or the other. Until that’s accomplished we should hold our peace, suspend judgement, and simply look, listen, research, study, and learn. Don’t be too quick to align yourself with someone and agree with something that they’ve said simply because it makes you feel good about yourself or it sounds good or it echoes what you’ve always thought and believed to be true or it sounds plausible! Truth has it's evidence in facts and reality, in events, not in emotions and feelings!
@@dellab5705 Nah, he's absolutely correct about Dick Gregory. He was a wolf in sheeps clothing putting out misinformation and heralded as pro black. He was controlled by the Masonic order to intentionally mislead us. Same with Martin Luther King.
@@asaramenemhat2964 You sir are correct in your assessment of Dick Gregory but there is a way to inform those that aren't in the know without ridiculing someone. I know of plenty of our ppl who thirst for knowledge but are lost in some areas. The proper way to address that is to simply state your facts and give them material to research, no need for name calling.
Dr Yosef Ben the empowering ancestor would be forever, this guy energy is through the roof
This is my first time listening Dr. Ben Ashe thank you (Rest in paradise)❤
It is very important for an African to understand our origin!
So called negroes are the original Ethiopians.
You are the university I have been looking for. Thank you so much for diligently putting this information out there. This knowledge is feeling a void that has existed within me for a long time but could not be clearly defined.

AN AMAZING HISTORY LESSON !!/THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD !!! BIG UP RESPECT !!
AMEN TO THAT !!!
Some of us have been conditioned over the years when they hear the truth they still don't want to do more research on the topic

Dr. Ben was truly a profit sent by The Almighty. I, myself, am a Christian, but upon hearing material of his and that of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, I understand my faith on a deeper and more robust level. All my respect and honor to this elder. Because of him, we are able to empower others with the truth about this system we were born under.

Dr Ben rest in power my brother, we thank you for your contribution.
It’s so sad to see the religious divisions among black people. Religion has been more of the problem than the solution but pastors like this pastor is to be commended for stepping outside the box for his flock and given them an option of understanding. We have to unite regardless of religion or politics we are one people dark skinned nappy hair we are one
As a brown skin talking to dark skin, Islam never divided nations and caused problems it actually helped Africa to stay against colonialism and stolen resources from Africa
@Din.muttahh that's not true. Sudan,Algeria, Tunisia, Eritrea
Please! We need to keep this alive in our communities. Thank you
Our people rejecting knowledge of they Hebrew African roots

He’s right, they took the concept of Afrikan spirituality and dressed it in a Christianity suite, same with Islam, every nation owes the concept of Ancient Afrikan spirituality, because they took it modified it and created their own religion from it, the WS took it flipped it and sold it back to you in a different package call Christianity....Hotep ✊🏿

Thank You Dr Ben for standing in the middle of the Nile all by yourself,letting me and others know about our history because I was truthfully not told the truth in school ,I'm trying to give the young kids the truth
Not necessarily voodoo and hoodoo goes all with Christianity
Got to b there for a lecture at Mcclymdons high school in Oakland back in the day!!! Other than my kids being born, greatest day in my life
Wow, what a nice comment.
My white Jesus and Allah worshiping friend from childhood in West Africa stop talking to me for the last 5 months after I introduced both of them the truth and real knowledge of Dr Ben. But I have choose to fight both the white Jesus and Allah spirit in him till thy kingdom come because we need to take this history back to Africa. Thanks reelblack tv.
@ bobocamewegokokinovadone shitposhyouall So, a few decades of so called scholarship on the part of one lone man who is not inspired by God trumps the thousands of years of scholarship that supports Christainity? That’s more amazing than the many false claims made by this man whom you applaud and praise. I only speak on behalf of christainity, not for Islam and Allah.
Jesus was not White. The White man that’s hanging on a cross on a painting is not Jesus. Thou shalt not make no graven image of anything in Heaven, under Heaven (Exodus 20:4) The true Jesus is God in Heaven and He is coming back real soon. Repent and be saved
@@ivorysmith239 True,but even the name Jesus is a construct from Rome .I'm happy we're awakening.
I am a Muslim and you’ve met your match. Christianity is a failed doctrine. It’s been tampered by mans hands. Christianity has no real African roots.

Beautiful!
WE WERE BORN TO PRAISE THE FATHER OF EVERYTHING THAT IS ANYTHING WIT OUT SIECE
The new people don't read. I've been learning for 62 years. And im 64. I can not longer teach the ignorant. I get nothing out of it. We are all dieing. I don't know what will happen. I hope the youth like a good life
Understanding your crestfallenings. It is sad. I myself, play speeches, interviews, and other spoken words by our heroes and she-roes aloud whenever I sit outside, (during break times at work), in order for the youth to hear. Sometimes, someone will ask or respond to what is being aired. I smile, and inform briefly. Sort of like casting a reel with a hook, and with patience, wait and see who gets hooked. I feel what you state and I'll say, it may depend on which State and City one's residing. Try it. Let these recordings speak for you and us. The Rock Newman show in the past has some wonderful one on one interviews. Blessings to you and yours.
Other black scholars are good at lecturing but Dr.B just has that energy about him , I love that part when he goes " Ay yo JC (Jesus Christ) man, you see what that lady doing!?" "Distributing a few little things around the place" 😂😂🙌🏿... I guess that's Megdaline
RIP to one of the grand Master of real historical FACTS along with John Hendrick Clarke and chancellor Williams one day nation's would know truth because all the lies been tolds for hundreds of years.........Ase
Whew, "Excuse my use for, black, we are pass that "... Note taken. I slip up sometime and still say it.

So how do you identify?

This is timeless 🫡
Dr ben the truth
Thank's for the Wisdom. Clarity %%
Woo! I hold this expression for many of the things Dr. Ben said but he said “every body knows the heart cannot love it is just a organ that pumps blood into the system” but the Bible will teach you that the heart of a man is desperately wicked. So now I see that it is the way men think that is desperately wicked
OR you could look up the meaning of the word "heart" in Hebrew and see it means the seat of cognition. Not emotions. Cultural context and scholarships over fallacies and uneducated guesses
Master teacher💯💪👑💖
Peace and blessings and thanks for this rare Dr' Ben's work. I also just like to point out-we do not need to use Wikipedia descriptions of our heroes. Could you please find a better description which is vastly available online and even from his books or other sources? I thank you so much in the spirit of Afrikan people
NEVER USE WIKIPEDIA. ITS A BIASED BASED COMY. PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD ARE ASKED TO WRITE ABOUT DIFFERENT TOPICS. AND THEY PUT IN THEIR TWO CENTS OPINION
TEACH THE TIME LINE AND KEEP THE TIMELINE ACCURATE ., DR BEN DID OUR KEMET HOME WORK . WE ARE INDEBTED TO THIS . GIVE CREDIT TO HIM , ALL OUR LEADERS BROUGHT MAJOR PARTS TO THE TIME LINE , THEIR STUDENTS ALSO . NOW THE SPIRIT IF TRUTH TAKES THE WISDOM AND SETS UP WORLD WIDE DISSEMINATION OF TRUTH.
@ Ley Anu What about our part and responsibility in checking the checkers? How do you know that this man’s research is sound and accurate, true? Propaganda and lies can be spoken, written, printed, and published just as easily as truth. This guy preaches a ”Now, I feel better about myself after hearing or reading this man” religion, with a few truths sprinkled in here and there. Wake up! If this guy’s so called truths are indeed just more lies then we’re being brain-washed a second time, not enlightened. The mind is freed when we learn to form and practice the habits of looking at, listening to, reading, studying, and researching the subjects, people, and events (historical and otherwise) that we consider, think about, believe, and meditate upon. We can’t simply depend on others to put the work in for us! When any system of thought or any information is given to us by someone or we get it from them in some way or the other; be it religion, philosophy, science, etc., we must first and foremost question it, research it, study it, and meditate upon it before we believe it, accept it or reject it. Until we can truly come to either conclusion we must suspend judgement, be silent on the matter. It’s a dangerous and deadly thing to allow ourselves to be naive and gullible as a result of being too lazy and too unwilling to put in the work of research, study, and thought that's necessary and indispensable in our pursuit of truth. I applaud this guy for making us think about the things we’ve believed and thought to be true all of our lives, but much of what he says is full of holes, inaccuracies, erroneous inferences and deductions, and contradictions. Just because a guy has a plumber’s license doesn’t make him a good plumber! But we’ll never know that he or she is or isn’t if we know nothing about plumbing until he or she fixes the problem and finishes the job, or fails to fix the problem, or makes things worse. Proof before praise!

We are the chosen people
Thanks
I love the history, but again, just proves that all religion overtime is just an adaption of earlier or surrounding traditions. Myths and texts meant for a localised tribe. What he stopped short of expounding is that Christianity regardless of it's history was revamped and revised by the Romans for control. A lot of Khemetic, Zoroastrian and Greek mythology and symbolism expressed in Christianity, it's not even coincidence.
Very dope point.
I think you would like to watch religion for breakfast in KZhead he goes in to the history of religion academically with no theology.
Black Americans our True and only Religion is Our MUSIC!!!!
A man after God own heart
I'm on Latin decent, thank God for Dr. Ben!!!!!
Well Someone's telling the Truth Amen my Brother
Where do I start at the BEGINNING....PLEASE
Also, the First Commandment of the Bible was to not worship any other gods before me in Exodus. All other “prophets” in the Bible who were prophecying and saying “let’s go worship other gods” were told by God to all be put to death in the Book of Deuteronomy. So, how can you say that the Bible was plaugirized if Israel was only getting their information from their just One God? I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me (Isaiah 45:5)
Thank you so much for that information I guess that's why I can't put the Christian believe down what I mean by down walking away from it now I understand thank you
Krystal. You can get your own degree right here on KZhead. If knowledge. Is what you seek. It will find you . But you have to be willing to do good things with it. If not . .the universes will wait for you until it's the perfect time.
Also Dr. Malachi K. Z. York
Gratitude for this recording. If we originated the culture of brotherly love or christianity, how were the enslaved african people's controlled psychologically by their own text and faith? And further also unable to harness its power or manifest freedom for themselves even until this day. I'm asking for a friend.
They lost their ways and were living a curse well we still are by GOD read Deuteronomy 28 we didn't know our identity anymore and Christ and the Israelites were black that's been been hidden through religion
We have some dumb characters trying to tear down Christianity .i was one myself until i did the knowledge.hereing from these Elders like Dr Ben
Dr. Ben did actually, he was just being nice to the audience. He just said the Bible is a fraud based on revised ancient African religion, in my own words, Christianity today isn't Christianity in ancient Khemet.

I really don’t know why but KZhead seems to unsubscribe me on their own, 3rd time now. I wish they stop.
I’m confused asf today ... I listened to so many of dr bens lectures and he’s always denounced Jesus but it sounds like he believes in him on here😩
He never denies him and his existence he speaks of the corrupted text that covers his life... AND never 4 get that things in your conversation change once we've studied a little deeper. For example i knw about my body because it's mine but i read a lot works to figure out HOW my body works. I can talk about things i know now that i didn't know "then"
no he is saying that the “concept” of Jesus comes from our ancestors and the Book of the Dead
Aye tae n twinny. During your life time take a detailed trip to the Homeland like Dr Ben did for 50 + years. Then you will understand where his knowledge came from . Watch his KZhead video with Dr Ben and George Simmonds. Powerful.
I don't think he denies Jesus I think people just get confuse that Jesus's real name was not Jesus ( jousha creest) original name: which is Jesus Christ. :)
I HAVE THE SAME CONFUSED FEELING @AyeTae..... he said in another lecture "don't get me started on that fella", and was talking about 13 times through history Jesus was reinvented and he said this one we know was the last one and that theres a book about it ...also he suggested that they made up Moses....... but this lecture here it dosnt sound like what he been saying,..... hmmmm
Holy Mary mother of God, I need to understand what that mean, this took place between Africa and Asia WOW, Queen SHEBA was the most beautiful Black woman, we are the choosen People of the creator of the universe,,
