i think that the idea of ethnic choseness is based at the very least a misinterpretation and misappropriation of ancient African ideas related to allegories based on the movements of the heavens - and at the very worst, a DELIBERATE co-optation and abuse of original ideas which had nothing to do with an actual chosen ethnical race(as we know the word today) mentality.
i will say this though - the bible fits more appropriately with the historical record related to the African diaspora then it does to today's so-called Jews.
"By the rivers of Babylon,
Where he sat down,
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion.
Oh, the wicked carried us away in captivity,
Required from us a song,
How can we sing King Alpha's song
Inna strange land?
So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight . . . "
