Michelle Obama's Cousin Named 'Black Chief Rabbi
Arutz Sheva ^ | July 13, 2015 | Tova Dvorin

Rabbi Capers Funnye to be the first American head of the Black Hebrew Israelites since 1999.

America has elected its first "Black Chief Rabbi," the International Israelite Board of Rabbis (IIBR) announced - and he is a cousin of First Lady Michelle Obama.

Rabbi Capers Funnye, a Chicago-based convert to Judaism, is the first person to hold the position since Chief Rabbi Levi ben Levy died in 1999.

"Rabbi Funnye’s work with Black Jews in the United States and Africa made him uniquely qualified for this position," the IIBR said. "His goal as Chief Rabbi is to build closer ties with the Ethiopian Jews community that was transplanted to Israel."

He has also met with both Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama on several occasions.

Wow. How fortunate it is, indeed, that such Jew-lovers like Michelle and Barack are now cousins to America's First Black Chief Rabbi.

I am sure Barack and Michelle are brimming with pride that their black brother, who converted to Judaism, probably born Christian as Chicago-based convert to Judaism is now a high-ranking government official within the Israeli government. Probably chats with Netanyahu once in awhile, and certainly asks Rabbi Capers Funnye to give Zero a high-five from Benjamin.

I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear Zero going absolutely Bonkers.

Your MF cousin had to become a MF Jew SOB!

No matter. Michelle couldn't care less if Zero bombs Israel into oblivion, Funnye or not.

Yep.Our Israel-hating Muslim-in-Chief can’t be thrilled. Still, he’ll keep trying to get ol’ Funnye bombed to bits.

Now those Ethopian Jews were rumored to have the Ark of the Covenant in their possession at one time and we know what power it wields. Its hard to tell if a dot needs to be connected here or not. Probably not but if we hear of an immensely rich European business man who suddenly discovers its resting location and can solve all the ills of the world, we’ll know what’s up.

Black Jews, hey? Reminds me of a joke by Sammy Davis Jr., in which he quoted a KKK leader saying “Git him...he’s ALL of ‘em!”

Re: Michelle Obama's Cousin Named 'Black Chief Rabbi

Yet, if some Baptist congregation named themselves a "Chief White Preacher"... that would be called racist to high heaven--

"But I can tell you that this feeling that seems to be rampant in elements of the Jewish community that [Obama] does not care for or stand with the State of Israel the way that other presidents have is really not looking at the facts that matter. They're not looking at the aid. I believe that this president has a great affection for the State of Israel and nothing to the contrary could make me think otherwise. And I think he's going to state that unequivocally during his visit in Israel." -- "Rabbi" Capers Funnye, March, 2013

What a hodge podge of shit.

Obama’s kin are more likely to be mullahs. In the meanwhile he hid out in Jeremiah Wrights “church” of black liberation theology.

Now, Michelle is relating to Rabbi’s.

That Obama? Will hide anywhere... even behind the lie that he loves Israel and is an American.

....and he is negotiating FOR Iran?

Obama is about as American as a Lada.

"First Black Chief Rabbi" --what a complete hoot. This guy could give lessons in self-aggrandizement.

The Black Hebrew Israelites are NOT Jews. They are a cult proclaiming that THEY are the real Jews and inheritors of Israel. The Israeli government does not recognize them as Jews.

The website StopObamaNow.com states: "...The Black Hebrew Israelite movement is a branch of the black nationalist movement, which includes the Nation of Islam, New Black Panther Party, pseudo-Christian churches based on Black Liberation Theology — such as Obama’s own church — and other sects..."

Now THAT rings a bell. THAT would answer the question what a relative of the Obama anti-Semites would be doing with anything remotely called "Jewish".

So, the Odungo relative is about as much a rabbi as the hosta growing in my front yard.

Does ‘D’Oh’ in this case infer an oxymoron of sorts in the way you expressed it?

That’s a much better joke than the one Archie Bunker presented to Sammy Davis on “All in The Family”. Archie tells him,Okay you were born a black, but why did you choose to be a Jew?

I think Archie was asked (maybe by Meathead) what the difference was between Sammy and other “coloreds”. His reply was something like “13 purple Cadillacs”...
