Jesus was a Middle-Eastern Jew. He most probably had dark hair, olive skin and brown eyes. He looked very much like the Israelis and Palestinians you see on the news.
As for his existence, that is up for debate. I'd like to believe so, as there is a lot of literary evidence of some dude named Yeshua preaching to people, as well as scant archaeological evidence. I think what matters is the belief. It's not whether this or that happened, it's what does this book (the Bible) say when looked at from an allegorical perspective? What does it say about how one should live life?

Considering where he was from, probably not. But probably not white either. Have a look a t the colour of the faces walking around Bethlehem now, that would be my best guess
Got given a postcard once from a Mormon (I think), which had a picture of him - white as a sheet and blonde hair!?
BTW - didn't Black Grape also say Jesus was Batman?

Not entirely. You see, Yeshua (i.e. Joshua the Nazorean) aka Jesus was Jew of Egyptian descent (hence the journey into Egypt, to hide with relatives). Thus he would have been of very dark complexion.
Sorry, black brothers, but no Afro-Carib in the bloodstream. As a descendant of the House of David, just pure Jewish stock.

blackgrapians probably never discovered electricity, how to make an efficient water pump, and might well believe that having sex with a virgin will cure aids.
don't believe everything you hear from the uneducated.

Jesus was a person from north Africa as the real first Hebrews were "APARU" people. because all of these people of the Mediterranean area had intercourse , business and sexual with each other ,they are truly a mixed race of people, and came in all hues of human color. we can assume he looked like many of the mixed race African people in the USA.

Nobody knows.
Judas' color is also not known. Just because Carl Anderson (late great black actor/singer) played the part in JC Superstar (the movie) doesn't mean Judas was actually black.

No there is enough evidence to suggest that the man know as Jesus did exist, and no he was not black., of course no proof he was the son of God

The only physical description of Jesus Christ in the Bible is that he had olive skin.

Jesus was born in the middle east to Jewish parents.
he was probably middle eastern looking, which isnt quite white, and isnt quite black. Nice compromise dontcha think?
