Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Jesus was not a Caucasian and he was not black. He was a dark olive complexion as common to the region of his day and he was not of any extraordinary looks, meaning no blue eyes, no long blond hair, nor did he have an afro.
When the Guards came seeking to arrest Jesus, the traitor, Judas had to give them a sign as to which of the group Jesus was - a kiss to the cheek. If Jesus was white, blond haired, or black with an afro, no kiss would have been needed, just a description. Jesus was average in appearance. Jewish appearance.

I could go into all the genealogy of Christ but what does it matter what he looked like? His mission was accomplished and the message was for everyone. He brought spiritual reality to humanity and gave everyone a way to look beyond the natural realm and hopefully beyond the physical appearance. He brought the message that there were far greater realms than planet earth and considering the condition of this planet, isn't that astounding?

I agree I believe he looked like the medatarinan (spelt wrong I know - not using spell check too long) cos that was the area he came from.
Jesus was not white, so white supremacists cannot claim Jesus for their actions.

Some form of Middle-Eastern. Saying Jesus was white is irrational, and saying black is probably innacurate as well considering the area of the world he was from.

based upon what the current inhabitants of that region and the fact that people are the way they look because of climate from their area of origin I would assume he was olive skinned. He wandered as he preached so I truly believe he had long hair and was bearded

He looked like a kind man and a person that would do anything for his brother and sister. He healed the sick made the lame to walk but most of all he died for our sins. And it does not matrter what color he is.

No, I don't THINK Jesus was white. I THINK he would have been a olive or medium brown person. Why would it matter.
