Carty is a Hebrew Israelite.
"Members usually dress in colorful clothing, refrain from birth control and also believe in polygamy. There are several meeting places for Hebrew Israelites across Texas including in El Paso, Houston and Dallas.
Their spiritual leader, Ben Ammi Ben Israel, died in Israel in 2014. He believed that some African-Americans were descendants of the biblical tribe of Judah and migrated to West Africa after the Jewish Temple was destroyed in A.D. 70 in Jerusalem.
In the 1960s, the leader said he had a vision from the angel Gabriel to return to West Africa. He led a group of people back to Liberia, which became the starting point of the worldwide belief system."
He might call himself a “Hebrew Israelite” whatever that is but he is a heathen cultist.
Try putting the words “so-called wife” in an AP article about Mohammed’s child bride or Ellen Degeneress’ sex partner.
This looks like the same ‘Hebrew Israelites’ that Whitney Houston got mixed up with. There are a few other similar groups. Even the SPLC calls them racists, but maybe because they’re Christian and not because they’re black.
“Gov. Greg Abbott recently signed a law that says the youngest age to legally marry is 16, but only if emancipated from parents.”
What was the age prior to this law?
When was this guy “wed”?
What is the youngest same-sex marriage on record in Texas?
Looking at the current state of US legislation, I kind of think this cult, with its polygamy and child sex, may be considered A-OK by the courts.
Sounds like a registered Democrat.....stay armed folks
Sin is really rampant in the world today.
The devil is having a field day.
Wait for the David Koresh followers to defend this guy. Never understood why “conservatives” would support a rapist like David Koresh.

I ran into these scumbags in Austin a few years ago. For three hours my son and I gave ‘me hell. They tried desperately to instigate a fight but we wouldn’t take the bait. Instead I would turn my back to them (thereby mocking their thug schtick) and preach to to crowd about false profits. It was a surreal experience.
sheet, he dindunuffin
I realize that childhood and adolescence are regarded as lasting much longer now than in the past, however let’s not get carried away in branding this man. Even as recently as my parents’ generation it was not uncommon for 16, 15 or even 14 year old girls to get married with the consent of their parents. I have an aunt by marriage who married at age 15. It’s still legal in a number of states as far as I’m aware. So, temper your judgment and condemnation.
Black Hebrew Israelites (also called Black Hebrews, African Hebrew Israelites, and Hebrew Israelites) are groups of African Americans who believe that they are descendants of the ancient Israelites. Black Hebrews adhere in varying degrees to the religious beliefs and practices of both Christianity and Judaism. They are not recognized as Jews by the greater Jewish community. Many choose to identify as Hebrew Israelites or Black Hebrews rather than as Jews to indicate their claimed historic connections.[1][2][3][4]
Many Black Hebrew groups were founded in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from Kansas to New York City, by both Americans and West Indian immigrants.[5] In the mid-1980s, the number of Black Hebrews in the United States was between 25,000 and 40,000.[6] In the 1990s, the Alliance of Black Jews (which is no longer operating) estimated that there were 200,000 African-American Jews; this estimate was based on a 1990 survey conducted by the Council of Jewish Federations.[7] The exact number of Black Hebrews within that surveyed group remains unspecified.
