not to mention the Jews are in Ethiopa home to some of the oldest christian churches. Also where the Muslim sought refuge when they were persecuted out of mecca.

these jews didn't convert they clame to be able to trace back to King solomon. In fact they actually convert to christianity.
Im not sure what it is so difficult for people to believe that the Jews wwere black and that they traveled to the middle east.

They are only a little darker than the jews of the area Jesus was from. The Jews were very dark until the khazzars of Eastern Europe converted to Judaism and started mating with the middle eastern Jews. The Khazzars were white.

The bible states that Jesus (pbuh) had hair like wool.
Jews are decedents of Abraham (pbuh) just as the Arabs are. Through his sons Ismael and Issac (pbut).
Jews today are lighter due to mixing with Europeans (there were almost no Jews in Israel when it we created by the British and Americans after the end of WWII)
It would be hard to define what a person exactly looked like 2000 years ago.
Today most Christians view Jesus (pbuh) as looking like them. This is because the church would have his painting done in this way. It is easier to convert people if the person you are wanting them to place all their trust into looks like them.

Jesus was of the Levite Tribe... He was described as having brown hair, blue eyes, and a ruddy complexion.... They believe this meant that he was caucasian or closely resembled caucasian.
Does it really matter what color the shell was if He did what He did? If it helps you to associate to Him, I don't think He would mind if you thought He was *****. Don't get bent out of shape over things that don't matter worth a hill of beans. White, Black, Asian, WHO cares?
Christianity is not like some religions which some people will be excluded because of skin color. Thank God He doesn't care what color your skin is.
What I have touched, call thou NOT unclean!!! God talking to Peter...

Black Jews.
Judaism is not a race, you can convert to Judaism and you can't convert to white or black. There are also asian Jews, black Jews, white Jews, brown Jews...even green Jews! (Irish <3)

Jesus is a descendent of KIngs David and Solomon, who are described in the Bible as 'white and ruddy', How many blacks have white skin and red hair?

There are black Jews in Yemen and Ethiopia. But the semitic people are middle-eastern. "Jewish" is a race as well as a religion and refers to the semitic people when speaking of race.

They look black to me. Majority of the people from Ethiopia are black. I read this book called "From Babylon to Timbuktu" The history of the black Jews. My friend for six years is Jewish and black and she gave me that book to read. I found it to be very informative.

Jesus (PBUH) lived in the Middle East, and therefore, was a Middle-Eastern man.
Does color matter anyway? It's what's in the heart that's important to God...
