Are there black Amish people

Answer 1

The Ammish may claim not to "hate" black people but that does not mean they ALLOW them to intermingle with them or their families or their gatherings and that also includes interracial unions being formed between those who black and those who are Ammish (white)

Those who say the Ammish do not hate black people are only giving half a story. Hate does not have to be open or publicly done but it can be silently and privately practiced.

1. Several say the Ammish do not hate black people because they do not judge according to Matthew 7: 1. Certainly they do not judge with words but their lack of associations with those who are black as well as lack of interracial unions and lack of mixtures in their communities do show that some form of judging had to have taken place in order to keep their communities the way that it is presently is.

2. Several misquote scrptures such as Genesis 6:9, Genesis 24:2-4, and Lev. 21:14 stating that God wants all to stick to their own race. A ridiculous and absurd misquotation of scripture. God is NOT against interracial union in fact. He grafted in those who belong to the Gentile racial heritages (called the wild olive tree in The Bible) be they black, Asian or Hispanic into the Jewish racial heritage who are called the olive tree in the bible. God also does NOT see interracial unions as wrong because in Christ ALL are ONE and are ALL His Children (Romans 11: 17 and Galatians 3: 26-29).

Answer 2

I believe most African Americans in the Amish community arrived through foster care / adoptive situations; there are Amish from various ethnicities. I know of one South American Amishman in an old order community in Illinois as well as an African American male in his thirties in an old order community in Northern Indiana.

Answer 3

Yes there are, I know personally of Afro American woman from Brazil, married to a Amish man and last I know were living in Kentucky.

Amish say they are excepting of all races, but like outside society, it easier if your light colored black person to fit in, to pass yourself of in any term other than Afro American.

Often Amish refer to any Amish person of color from Mexican, Arabian, and / or even Afro American as Black German.

Jews on outside society are drawn to Afro American so I have read, more than any other white ethnic group, since Amish are of Jewish ancestry they to seem to prize colored woman as wives too.

Answer 4
