He was JEWISH, Judaism is both an ethnicity and a religion. Jesus wasn't black because He didn't stand out in the crowd..
Check this out, when Judas betrayed Him in the garden, he told the Roman soldiers to take the guy that Judas kissed. Well, if Jesus was black he would have just said, take the black guy!
But no, Jesus looked very much like his followers, Peter, John, etc, so he was JEWISH.

Jesus is described in the Bible as having skin of bronze and hair of wool. He is not anglo or caucasian and your father, like so many others, WANT him to be because no dark skinned person will ever be as widely accepted and certainly not worshipped as dying for the sins of ALL men. Black is a color not a race or heritage. Jesus is of middle eastern descent and therefore dark skinned. Ask your minister to show you the passage in the Bible where Jesus is described and watch what happens.

Yeshua is Jewish, his mom and dad are decendants of King David. He taught many good things but he didn't fullfill the "Moshiach duties" so the Jews nowadays didn't accept him as the Moshiach but the Jews back then who formed Christianity did with help of Roman leaders.
I personally don't believe Yeshua was the Moshiach, atleast not the Christian's depiction of him. Maybe some things were blown out of proportion but I don't know. He did teach very good things.

Ok
Jesus Hide him Egypt for 11 yr or so.
Egypt is in Africa
So it leads me to believe that he was black.
Because if his skin was white he would not have been able to hide in africa without being noticed!
Can a black man hide in Europe without being notice?
Not!

HAHAHA "he's a jew, therefore he is not black" Tell that to Sammy Davis jr. you freaking stereotypist.
Jesus was from Palestine/Isreal area. He has tributes and coloring associated with Asia Minor. the end.
Edit: Ethnic Jews? You can be a religion ethnically? That's ridiculous. That would mean "ethnic Catholics" are all italian. because a long long time ago, Constantine decided to make all the Romans christian BLAHBLAHBLAH. Nope. Doesn't count sorry.

Dad is wrong.
You are wrong.
The current dominant opinion among secular historians and scientists is that he most likely had light-brown skin, resembling modern-day persons of Middle Eastern descent.

Jesus was purple, with pink polka dots. If you doubt me, find a picture of Jesus and post it. I'll admit I'm wrong. Who the hell cares what race He was, it's His teachings that mean something.

Yeshua was a black man, because his daddy was black..and so on and so forth all the way back to King Solomon and ultimately, Kind David. Hey, guess what? so was Moses!

Damn, you're both wrong! Israel isn't in the Middle East! Jesus was obviously dark-skinned!
