Why are African-American Jews not recognised as Jewish by Caucasian Jews?
This question is based on an incorrect assumption, namely that black Jews are not recognized as Jews by the remainder of the Jewish community. The simple fact is that black Jews are recognized and acknowledged by white Jews. This is especially true as concerns the Ethiopian Jews, the Lemba Jews of South Africa/Lesotho, and the Converts of Uganda. The only major issue that has ever been presented as concerns Black Jews (which was also presented concerning Indian Jews, Chinese Jews, and Yemeni Jews) is whether the amount of Halakha observed and known in these communities is sufficient to call them Jews. A second smaller issue is whether Jews who allege that they converted to other religions centuries ago and wish to convert back actually believe in the religion or if they just want a better life in Israel. (This has become an increasing problem with the Felasha Mura in Ethiopia who are currently Christians.) If this question is asking about the Black Israelite Churches which claim that the African-Americans are the real Jews and the Jews are all imposters, Jews reject their claim because it is preposterous. It does not accord with any historical evidence, scientific consensus, DNA analyses, or Jewish tradition. Furthermore, many of these groups have Anti-Semitic rhetoric, which does not endear them to Jews. Not to mention that many of them believe in Christian fundamentals such as the divinity of Jesus.
