Who Are the Black Hebrew Israelites, the Sect at the Center of MAGA Teens Controversy?

In the viral video of a standoff between a group of Kentucky high school children and Native American activists and the subsequent storm of debate, the role of a group of African-American activists was initially obscured.

However, in longer footage of the confrontation, a more complex picture emerged, and a group of demonstrators from the Black Hebrew Israelites were shown hurling insults at both the school kids and Native Americans.

Native American demonstrator Nathan Phillips, filmed standing face-to-face with one of the students in the footage, has claimed that he was trying to calm tensions between the groups when he approached the students.

You notice the press has NOTHING to say about these bigoted scum, but they are all over the high school kids for nothing.

Oh, they had something to say.  Kept calling them "black group preaching the Bible".  I heard that repeatedly, even after the truth was out.
