THE NICKSON VIEW II
THE ANSWER TO THE HOROWITZ-10

Book Cover & Preview Text
Let us begin to examine the facts surrounding this debate, in a very unconventional, but hopefully, very inspirational way, by relating some Bible passages, beginning with the stories of Joseph and Judah.
"...I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt (Genesis 45:4)." "Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me hither:for God did send me before you to preserve life (Genesis 45:5)."
My brothers and sisters be not grieved that Mr. Horowitz has written his anti-black tome, entitled "Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks is a Bad Idea, and Racist Too." Be thankful. We must remember the story of Joseph. Joseph's jealous brothers first buried him in a pit, and left him for dead. The Midianites discovered Joseph, and then sold him to the Ishmaelites for 20 pieces of silver. Potiphar, captain of Pharaoh's guard then bought Joseph from the Ishmaelites.
Later, Joseph was set over the house of Pharaoh as a reward for Joseph's correct interpretation of Pharaoh's dream, to wit, Egypt would have seven years of great plenty followed by seven years of famine. Joseph was given the task of preparing all of Egypt for the seven famine years.
To shorten the story, Joseph's brothers thought they had done a bad thing, by selling Joseph into slavery in Egypt. Joseph saw it a different way. He saw it as God's way. He told them not to worry, that God was behind their deed. He said, as noted above, "God did send me before you to preserve life."
Just as Joseph saw his bondage as a good thing, we, my black
brothers and sisters, should see Mr. Horowitz's unfavorable
writings as a good thing; as a gift from God; produced so that I
would be given this opportunity to show light in a dark place.
Judah
We blacks are related through Shelah, Tamar and Judah to the line that produced Jesus. Thus we are a people with a rich history, which cannot be dismissed. In addition, Simon, one of the 12 Apostles was black.
"The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham (St. Matthew 1:1)." "Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his bretheren (St. Matthew 1:2.)."
"And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram (St. Matthew 1:3)." "and Obed begat Jesse (St. Matthew 1:5)."
"And Jesse begat David...and David...begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias (St. Matthew 1:6)." "And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Mathan; and Mathan begat Jacob (St. Matthew 1:15)."
"And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ (St. Matthew 1:16)."
Thus Jesus descended from the Tribe of Judah, (the same as Judas above, in St. Matthew 1:3.)
"And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her (Genesis 38:2)." "And she conceived...Er (Genesis 38:3)."
"And she conceived again...Onan (Genesis 38:4)." "And she yet again conceived...Shelah (Genesis 38:5)."
"And Judah took a wife for Er...whose name was Tamar (Genesis 38:6)."
This is the same Tamar, (Thamar), in the Jesus lineage in St. Matthew 1:3, above. Er and Onan were later slain by God.
"And in the process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died (Genesis 38:12)." "And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan (Genesis 10:6)."
Ham was black. The Canaanites, who descended from Ham, were also, black. Since Judah impregnated a Canaanitish woman, and produced Er, Onan, and Shelah, it follows that Er, Onan, and Shelah were black, as well.
"And she (Tamar), ...sat in an open place (Genesis 38:14)." "When Judah saw her (Genesis 38:15)."
"And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come unto thee...And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me (Genesis 38:16)?"
"And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him (Genesis 38:18)."
"And it came to pass in the time of her travail...behold twins were in her womb (Genesis 38:27)." "therefore his name was called Pharez (Genesis 38:29)." This is the same Pharez, (Phares), in the Jesus lineage, above, in St. Matthew 1:3.
"And his name was called Zarah ( Genesis 38:30)." This is the same Zarah, (Zara), in the Jesus lineage, above, in St. Matthew 1:3.
The Twelve Tribes of Israel were: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Dinah was their sister.
The easiest way to remember the early Hebrew lineage is with the acronym ASIR JR, pronounced A Sir Junior. It stands for Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, Rachel.
Abraham and Sarah produced Isaac. Isaac married Rebekah and they produced Jacob. Jacob married Rachel, and they plus Jacob and Leah, Jacob and Zilpah, and Jacob and Bilhah, produced the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
One might ask, "What's going on here?"
