But he never specified a number or population to be agreed or disagreed with. He and Professor Griff where talking about what qualifies a people as semetic, not about how many people are or are not semetic.It still seems too general too me. Only a small fraction of black people are Semetic, and again, he clearly personalizes that connection when it likely isn't there.
In the end, I don't think he was being racist and the outrage over his comments are silly, but I do think he was getting into the realm of reckless revisionist history.
So to understand what a semite is is to know that it is not a racial or phenotypical matter. Black people are the descendants of semetic people. That statement alone is true. Adding or taking away from that statement for the sake of disagreement is disingenuous.
