Jesus was clearly a black man. That's a fact. Why are all the racist whites so upset about that?

Jesus's mother was jewish, his father a Roman (Ben Panterra) -get over it Christians...NOT GOD, so it is doubtful he was black and if he was though it might explain why it was him washing all the disciples feet and serving the bread :)

Jesus was neither black nor white! He was born in the Middle East, making Him more olive or light brown skinned like the peoples of the Mediterranean Region such as the Greeks, Romans, Syrians, Mesopotamians and etc.

Well according to the bible, which is a fairy tale anyways. Jesus was from Jerusalem, and in that part of the world people are not, and were not "black". My husband is from Egypt, I have been all over the Middle East, and the people from there are not "black". Why don't you take a trip to Isreal and see what the people that live there look like.

i'm uncertain how linguistics validates the declare... are you able to furnish links? i'm involved. i think of aesthetics could be an impediment. We "perceive" suitable with people who look like us or the persons from our place of beginning place. for sure we anticipate our god seems the way we do. Others could discover the habit of seeing Christ with an aquiline nostril and as a brunette puzzling to interrupt. The imagery maximum ordinarily used has been ingrained in our institutions. So if we at the instant are not seeing this suitable, we at the instant are not seeing what we understand as God. the sweetness area is that Christianity itself, His teachings, compel us to love and settle for one yet another. If it must be shown that He appeared as a black guy, anybody claiming to be Christian- or actually attempting to prepare their faith -could could desire to settle for and love Him as such. that's my feeling Christ maximum possibly replaced into black or a melanin-prosperous version of midsection eastern. i'm a caucasian Westerner and that i've got actual no difficulty with that - nevertheless I could desire to confess that once praying I visualize the common portrait. "Inherently racist"? fairly? fairly fairly? So disillusioned. For a 2d there, i presumed this question replaced into approximately something.

Jesus was semitic, and probably looked much the same as semitic people living in the region around Jerusalem today -- not what we'd call "black."

Jesus was of Jewish descent, so he was not white, nor he was black. He was just like modern day Palestinians, not so much like modern Jews.

Jesus's (pbuh) appearance was closer to modern day Palestinians and Israelites.

He was an arabic jew. The oldest documented paintings of him show him as a thin middle eastern (i.e. brown) man with a moustache.
