but they leave out what color he really was.
we need to take the climate Jesus was from Israel was a desert climate and Aramaic decent so he would have looked Arabic so he was neither white or black plus the bible said his feet looked like fine brass

Jesus spoke Aramaic and was a Jew...See the Books Jews of Yemen by Ester Muchowsky- Schopper, Nubian Ethnographies by Fernea and the Book Before Color Predjudice by Snowden.
The color issue was taken out in the early Catholic Church to attract more Europeans to Christianity. Russia and most Slavic Countries, including the Vatican have icons of the Black Madonna. The images were changed in the Middle Ages. Would you go hide out in a nation of people like Eygpt if you could not fit in? They range in color form black to light olive toned features.You would stand out like a sore thumb.

Jesus was a Hebrew and is described as having a olive complexion.

Jesus was only half-human, so his mother's race can only account for half of his appearance. His father, Supreme Commander Jehovah of the Elohim battlefleet, looks much like our classic concept of the "gray" aliens. Jesus actually had light, grayish skin. The bit about his feet looking like brass is a reference to the antigravity boots he wore to allow him to fly and walk on water.

What I find most disturbing is that it matters AT ALL what race he was.
If you're a Christian, his race should be a non-issue. "God loves all his children" and such.
If you're not a Christian, it doesn't matter to you anyway.
So what's the big deal?

Jesus was blue and wore blinking sunglasses that went on and off whenever he was performing miracles.
