Was Moses a Black Man?
By Darren George
First off, let me preface this argument by saying that the answer to this question might leave many people asking another one: "SO WHAT?" Only you can answer that.

She would have probably taken him in at that time, but both for wisdom’s sake and probably because she didn’t have breast milk, asked for an ISRAELITE to nurse him until she could take him in herself. This woman was Moses’ mother and she also got paid by the Pharaoh’s daughter to do so. Fascinating turn of events. Either way, Pharaoh’s daughter took Moses into her house shortly after he was able to eat solid food, and “he became her son.” (cf. Ex. 2:1-10) Immediately you should be thinking, how is this possible in the context of a period of genocide against ISRAEL’S male children? Simple reasoning states three things
