The original Hebrews were Black. The modern Jew is Ashkenazi.

I wish I knew what your source of information is or if there is any serious research in this connection.. I have heard and read about it a number of times and Virgin Mary is often pictured as a black woman, e.g., in Barcelona and Poland. The Hebrew people spent many years in Egypt where they may have very well intermarried with blacks, the Queen of Sheba, King Solomon's lover, was also black and so on.
That may have also been the reason why Hitler looked at Jews as not being so "pure" for his taste.
An American jazz musician said that blacks had gone through a process by which they gradually lost their original color, during a number of centuries in America, from black to brown to "beige". Jews elsewhere may have gone through a similar process during a much longer period of time, so that they now look "olive" or "tanned" or even white. Why not ?

No I did not know that. I figured he was probably dark being a Jew from the mediterranean area, although I suppose many jews are lily white. He must have been the only black Jews at that time as they did not intermarry then. what a strange fact. hmmm.
are you sure? I doubt he was of the ******* race. maybe just a suntan

NO, neither does any one else know what color he was. The people of Israel rang from brown to a light shade of deep brown: not black and in the BIBLE his Chestnut hair would be a Reddish Brown for that is the color of the Asian-minor Chestnut. The black chestnut is from Europe and the writer of the verse would not have seen one at the time the BIBLE was put to paper!

Actually I read the Bible and the only sure thing that is mentioned about Jesus is that He was Jewish and that he looked like most Jews. Where is the color black mentioned?

I don't think so, because when Moses went up the mountain and spoke to God he said when asked through the burning bush what he was, God answered to Moses, " I what I am " and God is the father of Jesus. If God being the father of Jesus was black then he would have said " I is what I is ".
He is what he is and he saved all of us black or white or whatever colour you are out there.

If you look at the Bible, Jesus was born of parents who were olive skinned as were most people in the middle east. I think most people believe that Jesus is all things to all people and most don't have issue with a dark or olive skinned Jesus.

I think Jesus was dark, as are most Semitic people in the Middle East, but I don't believe that he was black. The main thing is that he died for all my sins...past, present, and future!

Jesus was most closely related to Mizrahi Jews, those who have middle eastern/ north African descent. They are tan, not black.
