Israelite
A term typically used interchangeably with "Hebrew" and "Jew", referring to an ethnic group that traces its origins to the Biblical patriarch Jacob (Israel). Another group that has consistently traced its origins to this patriarch since antiquity is the Samaritans, and the term "Israelite" may be used to refer to Samaritans as well.

Even in Biblical times, the Israelites weren't of the pure stock of Israel - there was also the Erev Rav, the mixed multitude of people from other nations that followed the Israelites out of Egypt to Sinai, and were still often referred to even in the Torah as b'ney yisrael, Israelites. Conversely, there were Israelites who did not follow Moses to Sinai, and they were not counted among the Israelites from that point.

Among the modern Jews and Samaritans there are groups who trace their origins to specific Israelite tribes. Many families trace their origins to the tribe of Judah, for example, but the lineage that is best conserved is that of the Levites, who continue to play an important role in Judaism and Samaritanism. This includes the priestly lineage, who trace their lineage to Aaron the High Priest.

"According to Deuteronomy 28, blacks, Hispanics and native American people are the Israelites the Bible speaks of.

Technically that's only partially correct. In deuteronomy 28 it says ALL of these curses shall be upon you. NOT SOME. Only the negroes (blacks) fit these curses to a T. While native Americans and Hispanics went through hardships they don't fit the curses of deuteronomy 28 in full. The Hispanics and native American inclusion comes from a 12 tribe chart teaching which doesnt make sense (or include the tribe of dan... hmmm). Scripture says that Israel would be discontinued from their heritage. This has never happened to the people who call themselves Jews today or the Hispanics /Native Americans. But this has happened to the blacks scattered into every nation through slavery. The Torah says by the account of 2 or 3 witnesses a thing must be established. According to not only multiple scriptures but even archeology, history, DNA as well as paintings and cultural practices all THROUGHOUT AFRICA, Blacks (not all) are the descendants of the 12 tribes of Yahsharal/isreal.

An israelite (physical not spiritual) is one who is a descendant of one of the 12 patriarchs of Yahsharal. Abraham>Isaaic>Yacob>12 sons>×××

Black Israelite
1. A crazed person of African descent convinced that (s)he descended from the ancient tribes of Israel.
2. Someone who will approach you if you're Jewish, asking what tribe you're from, after which you will regret ever responding if you answer him.
3. A hilarious lunatic who delights people all around campus with his antics.

Did you see that weirdo on the train? I haven't seen someone that crazed since that Black Israelite approached me in front of Hillel!

Black Hebrew Israelites
A group of black people who believe that they are the real israelites, they can usually be found preaching on street corners in NYC. They believe that all whites are going to hell no matter what they do. When you call them racists they say its not racist it's the truth. They shout obscenities calling white people faggots, devils or edomites. One of their favorite things to do is twist the words of the bible around to make it say what ever they want it to say. It's usually completely false and wind up looking like fools.

Black hebrew israelite: You white people don't believe in Jesus, Ya'll ain't nothing but devils.

Man#1: What are those fools talking about?

Man#2 shit i don't know it sounds like irrational bullshit to me.

Man#1: I guess that is one of these Black Hebrew Israelites people keep talking about.
