The white guy is Michael Grant, the Philly Jesus. He's not part of the Israelite crew. The next installment of Obscured American will feature Michael. It should be up by Sunday or so.
P.S. These black Israelites hate white people and gays. I haven't heard them rail against Asians, but I've been told by one of them that only blacks and Puerto Ricans are God's chosen people and can go to heaven.
Yeah, they don't seem to like our downtown Palestine vigil. I've never gone over to hear what they are actually saying. But they do get into altercations with people. Big fun.

Our guys out here don't have such elaborate costumes. And no Jesus, either. They do some good calling out of people though.
