[Update 2023: I regret this post, I don't even to even facetiously endorse any Nazi ideas.]
I'm making this post because I find the theory narratively interesting. It's mainly been proposed by White Supremacists who have a Marcionite/Gnostic theology and so prefer to claim descent from those the Hebrew Bible seemingly vilifies rather then from any Semites. I've also seen secular White Supremacists claim the Ancient Egyptians were actually White in books like Irish Origins of Civilization. Houston Stewart Chamberlain is often called "Hitler's John The Baptist", I can't claim to be an expert on what he believed since I don't want to actually read his book, but from skimming Wikipedia pages I can see he taught a couple of things that are pointing in this direction. He considered the Berbers to be Aryans thus making the descendants of Phut into Aryans. And his argument for Jesus being an Ayran was saying Jesus was actually an Amorite.
While this theory has mostly been taught by White Supremacists, I'm surprised the Black Hebrew Israelite movement hasn't adopted it for opposite reasons, just minus claiming Jesus wasn't an Israelite.
Their theory is predicated on prophetically connecting Israelite Slavery in Mizraim to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, so why not argue it was also again Mizraimites who were the en-slavers in that trade? As well as Hitler, the Concentration Camps started out as Forced Labor camps, and the perpetrators of Apartheid. The Book of Hosea has an alleged contradiction where 8:13 and 9:3 seems to say the Captivity will take them again to Mizraim but 11:5 says they won't return to the Land of Mizraim. It could be argued this is because Mizraim's location has changed.
The name of Ham has been interpreted to mean "Hot" as in possibly referring to tropical climates. But it's also been claimed to mean "burnt". Under the "traditional" assumption that Ham refers to Black people that is taken as meaning they look like they've been burned to White People. But the scientific fact is people with low Melanin in their skin are the ones most vulnerable to being Sun Burnt.
Joel Chapter 3 refers to Philistines and Sidonians selling Judeans and Jerusalemites as slaves to Greeks(Javan). While Greece is in the Hebrew Bible named after a son of Japheth, the actual genealogical make up of Ancient Greece was more complicated, studying Y Haplogroups suggests all three sons of Noah are likely represented among them. In Greek Mythology the Pre-Hellenitic inhabitants of Greece included the Arcadians and Sintians who are probably the Arkite and Sinite tribes of Canaan. The Danoi/Danaans/Acheans supposedly descended from a royal family of Ancient Egypt and Cecrops the founder of Athens is also sometimes said to have lead an Egyptian colony. And Thebes was founded by Cadmus a Sidonian. The Dorians could perhaps have come from the Canaanites of Dor after Asher and Manasseh eventually drove them out. There is also the fact that a very archaic Greek word for King, Anax, could come from Anak, a name dynasticly associated with Canaanite kings of Hebron in Numbers, Deuteronomy and Joshua. Also Dodona could come from a Dedan, perhaps the Cushite Dedan. And there is the popular theory of associating Caphtor with Crete.
And maybe an argument can be made for the Trojans/Dardanians being Canaanites as well, since I've already argued for connecting them to Joppa.
It's an interesting thought process. But I ultimately don't care who descends from who, Jesus died for all Descendants of Adam and Eve which I believe includes all Homo-Sapiens and some people modern science wouldn't consider Homo-Sapiens.
