Yes I know where Carthage is. Hence Hannabal (who was black) and the Punic warsYou provided a few resources, the problem is: there's nothing here that supports your previous claims, nothing at all. You now have a new map which shows the boundaries of the Songhai Empire and the premise now is that some Jews might have migrated to this area (or the slightly larger Bilad el-Sudan) at some point after the fall of Jerusalem. ehh. You have noticed that these borders do not include that previous Kingdom you mentioned Whydah (of which you provided no evidence that it relates to Jews other than... it kinda sounds like... maybe... if you really make an effort).
Now you have "These communities were augmented by subsequent arrivals of Jews after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, when 30,000 Jewish slaves were settled throughout Carthage by the Roman emperor Titus."
Again, ehh. Do you even know where Carthage is? yes it is in Africa, but the Continent is kinda vast. It is all the way up north by the Mediterranean. Sub-Saharan Africa was never part of the Roman Empire... so...
But ok let's take it as fact that there were a few genuine ethnic hebrews/jews in the sub-region. So what? Are black americans descendants of these few instead of the native africans?
on the link you provided it says this is the last rabbi of Timbuktu. I'm sure there can be white, arab or asian rabbis since I assume race is not a pre-requisite. But fine let's assume this guy is an ethnic hebrew instead of arab or berber. You telling me black americans bear more resemble to this guy than to the average west african?

I'm telling you the African Americans whose ancestors come from the transatlantic slave trade are the Jews according to the bible and history
