Have you ever hear of Black Amish Communities?

[humanearth]

Black Amish Communities are a group of traditionalist Christian communities known for their simple living, plain dress, and resistance to modern technology. While the Amish are typically associated with European ancestry, there is a lesser-known subgroup of Amish that identifies as Black. These communities, often referred to as “Black Amish,” have a unique and fascinating history.

The first known African American Amish person was a man named Moses Shirley, who was born into slavery in Virginia in 1791. Shirley was converted to the Amish faith by an Amish bishop named Jacob Shenk and later moved to Ohio, where he was ordained as a minister in the Amish church. Shirley went on to become a well-respected member of the Amish community, and his descendants continue to be a part of the Black Amish community to this day.

I have never heard of them, but they sound really interesting

There aren't any. Just as Candice Owens isn't the "true conservative" she always portrays herself as.

What dipshits like the black Amish and Candice have in common is that they think self-identifying makes them what they think they are.

I have not heard of any race specific communities, although most Amish where I lived in PA were German descendants.

You mean racial segregationists?

But I thought the KKK wasn’t cool.
