Black Jews, people like Louis Armstrong turned to the Jewish Faith - wee circucised as a sign. Thereby we have Jewish people who are of the darker skin.
WE ARE ALL OF THE SAME COLOUR because we are all indeed
descendants of that couple. Because of protective pigmentation we
are of different shades indeed.
What a beautiful example of how OUR MAKER designed us and built
a protective system into our skins to protect us from the suns rays !
Few people realize that The Bible does not say anything in opposition to
what is referred to as "mixed marriages". This is precisely why.
If "mixed marriages" do not work in our society, as it is today, it is because
of the arrogance of man. To "prove" superiority they often use gross
misinterpretations of Bible passages or misapply a Bible passage to
make it look like it proves them correct.
PS= Christianity is an offshoot of Judism. Some people call it a cult.

First of all, you have to define whether you are talking about a Jew as in religious belief system or a Jew as in a decendant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Anyone can become a Jew as it relates to faith. The race of Jews is no different from any other race in that it is not a pure race. There have been many intermarriages of other races from ancient Biblical times in the Jewish culture/race. Sammy Davis Jr was one of the more well known black-skinned Jews. But he was Jewish only in religion.

There are many black Jews.
Israel is home to a large community of black Jews from Ethiopia that Israel rescued in the 1980s. Research "Operation Solomon".
There are black Jews who are converts to Judaism also.

A Jew is a practitioner of Judaism, so why can't a black person be a Jew?
Paul Newman, Goldie Hawn, Elizabeth Taylor, Geraldo Rivera and Sammy Davis, Jr. are also Jews.
Jews are not a "race" regardless how many times bible thumpers and racists tell that lie.

First off a Jew is not what people are lead to believe. People think that if your a Jew then you are God's chosen people. When in fact a Jew is a person who's religion is Judaism or born by a Jewish mother. So why is their mother Jewish? Because her mother or mothers mother practice or converted to Judaism.
A Hebrew is a seed of Abraham and a Israelite is a seed of Abraham grandson Jacob. When we say Jews we mean Israelites but it's a difference Israelites are sons of Jacobs regardless of religion. Jews are people who convert to the religion they call Judaism. So anyone can be a Jew if converted but no one can become a Israelite by converting, you have to be a seed of Jacob to be a Israelite.

Wadda ya mean how does that work? Did you notice where in the world the 'birthplace' of Judaisme is located?
If not look it up and ask again.
The US may have the official claim to the term 'meltingpot', historically that place was the original one.
The better question in this light would be... White jews: How does that work? Well, they converted to Judaisme. It's that simple.

Black people and Jewish people are two different people if they love each other than there might be a Black Jew but a chance of that happening is slim to none.

I'm not sure I understand your question?? In all likely hood the first Jews were black and still exist in several regions of the African continent. True Judaism does not discriminate against any one.
