Is this a Black thing again? Everyone has been oppressed at one time or another. I do find it sad, but the Jews have a spotty record with their "kinsman" look as Samaritans and you will get an idea. Even in the NT Jewish/Christian wanted to force Jewish code on gentiles and we see that is wrong.
But, as to whether Jesus was Black or not. No, read the family line and you will see that it was made up the line of David. Had Jesus been born of Queen Sheba I believe he would have some traits, but Solomon was not married to her and had that been the woman that the line came through I believe she would have been mentioned. But, only Rahab and Ruth are mentioned.
To say other wise would be tantamount to blasphemy. I know that many portray Jesus as European, but that too was wrong.

No, humanity in general because the meaning is lost by 'laying blame' on a particular race or sect. Besides... if it was "just the Jews" who killed Jesus, wouldn't it stand to reason that Jesus would then be the savior for "Jews only"?? Last time I checked, Jews don't believe that.

Yes; he was circumcized at the age of 8 days; he was redeemed from the priests as first born; he went to the temple at age 12, presumably for observance of becoming bar mitzvah (it doesn't have to be a party, folks); he participated in the Passover meal; he observed the sabbath (although he broke some of the laws of the sabbath in a couple of instances). In short, he was a practicing Jew.

Yes, he was a Jew, we know because he was the messiah from the old testament. And i dont think he was Ethiopian since he was born in Galilee, but he could have been black, the area was very diverse at the time of his birth. And he wasnt a descendant of Solomon because he said he wanst a descendant of David but the son of God.

Yes....up until the point where John the "Baptist" baptized him in the River, with the Holy Spirit as the witness.
