The Jew a Negro

Being a Study of the Jewish Ancestry from an Impartial Standpoint (1910)

By: Arthur Talmage Abernethy

Narrated by: Will Stauff

Abernethy’s 1910 book The Jew a Negro has been analyzed by numerous modern authors studying race relations in earlier times in America.

Arthur Talmage Abernethy, PH. D., (1872 –1956) was a professor, Methodist pastor in New York and North Carolina, and a Democratic candidate for congress in North Carolina. He was a gifted speaker and author a score of historical books, as well as being the youngest son of the founder of Rutherford College. He was elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science and became the poet laureate of North Carolina.

For example, the 2006 Jewish Roots in Southern Soil: A New History notes: “One southern writer, the North Carolina minister Arthur T. Abernethy, published an entire book arguing that "the Jew of to-day is essentially Negro in habits, physical peculiarities and tendencies". In rare cases...Jews were...grouped with blacks."

The 2006 book The Price of Whiteness: Jews, Race, and American Identity states: “Published in 1910 by the North Carolina minister and professor Arthur T. Abernethy, The Jew a Negro argued that ancient Jews had thoroughly mixed with neighboring African peoples, leaving little significant difference between the Jewish and Negro types. As the Jews migrated to more temperate climes, their skin lightened and they became successful, but their essential racial similarity to blacks remained unaltered."

Critic reviews

“The most the startling book of the year...its research is unanswerable.” (Literary Digest)

Thank you Thank you!

The truth shall set us free! This book explains so much based on scripture and historical evidence. There are parts that can possibly be argued but overall it gave an in depth account of the history of jews as far as lineage and current location. Very well presented.

sweet baby jesus

A Church Divided By “Race”

When I purchased this book, I believed it would provide insight into the genealogy if the Jewish people. The author certainly provided genealogy. However, the conclusions drawn by the author seep into white supremacy, degrading both God’s Chosen People, Africans, and African descent. God has not made any mistakes in dividing the nations or blending them. It is tragic how some continue to perpetuate the lie that Jews only take what Whites have created and Blacks are lazy and shiftless. I encourage a deep dive into history and look at 1 John 4:20 and John 3:16. God loves us, but hatred is not of Him. God adds and multiplies, and the devil divides and subtracts.
Finally, this book provided good information, but the conclusions were not spiritual but racist and antisemitic.

Wow... just wow...

Worth listening to. Concise and concrete. Much history in today's time is misconstrued and made up to placate to those that get to decide who is deemed what in regards to history.... all in all a good reading....
