BLACKROOTS SCIENCE religiously from other Africans caused some measure of resentment in the people who had been living in Africa longer and worshipping older Gods. The ill feelings were nevertheless not deep enough to cause violent hostilities between them, but this religious exclusiveness of the Israelites worked against their favor when caucasians and arabs entered Africa later on and introduced the evil form of trade called slavery. 52. The Israelite Africans, due to living in small communities spread over many African countries, became easy targets for slave hunters. They were hunted and captured mostly by the light races, but in some instances non-Israelite African chiefs made wicked deals with the white slavers to capture the Israelites and sell them in order to save their own tribes-people. 53. This unfortunate situation resulted in the Israelites being the most enslaved of all Africans. The entire Israelite nation was captured and enslaved out of Africa except only two tribes that managed to avoid enslavement. One of these is the Dogon tribe of Mali, and the other are the Israelites who managed to settle on the eastern and southern parts of Africa, away from the slave trade routes. The rest of the Israelites, consisting of ten tribes, were almost all removed by force and enslaved in the Americas, Britain, Europe, and some Arab countries. 54. Their religion was disrupted at that time to such an extent that shortly after they arrived in the Americas, they totally forgot it. The few who still practiced it died without being able to teach it to their children because of the severe restrictions placed on them by their caucasian slavers. Thus after only a couple of generations in the Diaspora their religion had totally perished. 55. They became known to their African and Asian relatives as the lost tribes of Israel. It was said that they would be lost and forgotten for 400 years, exactly as predicted in the ancient writings of their ancestors, the Hebrews. 56. The Israelites were not the only Africans enslaved. Non-Israelite Africans were also enslaved at the same time. After they had all been in slavery for about two generations, they all lost their cultures and religions, except for isolated small groups here and there who kept the flames alive at great cost of life and limb. The slavers separated the people in such a way that they had no common languages, even to the point of separating children from their mothers. As a result of this, there was widespread intermarriage between Israelite and non-Israelite African slaves. This caused an increase in the Israelite population. In other words, when a non-Israelite African slave married an Israelite, their children naturally became Israelites either through the mother or father. The Elohim considered such children to be their descendents, and they
