one point of comparison that I have never seen commented on is the analogy between Black Israelites / NoI / Hoteps and the medieval thing where every newly-christianized Germanic people who had been uncivilized in Roman times decided that they were descended from Trojans. both arising out of a alienation & embarrassment arising from traumatic integration into a civilized culture (much more traumatic in the African-Americans' case ofc) and trying to find a respectable place in the civilized culture's mythistory.

I think American Blacks should say that they're descended from Memnon & one of Priam's daughters. this will bring about Trojan unity and an end to ethnic strife.

well, now others won’t experience that same lack.
