No. He was a Jew and the Jews in the Middle East look exactly like the Arabs do there. Black people are in Central Africa and South Africa. The Africans in North Africa are Arab looking and not Black. Most countries consider Arab to be a darker version of the White race. In the U.S., Arabs are considered part of the White race in our census. So, you can go with either White or Arab.

Most of the images we have of Jesus today are probably not accurate. Jesus was a Jew, so He likely had dark skin, dark eyes, and dark hair. This is a far cry from the blond-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned Jesus in many modern pictures. One thing is clear: if it were important for us to know what He really did look like, Matthew, Peter and John, who spent three years with Him, would certainly be able to give us an accurate description, as would His own brothers, James and Jude. Yet, these New Testament writers offer no details about His physical attributes.

No - as many others have pointed out he was of middle eastern appearance. It is also fair to say that there were black jews around at the time of Christ (East Africans - modern Ethipoians).
More to the point and contrary to the football and eurovision Israel is not in Europe - it is not th eonly democracy in the middle east and while there are many Arabs and Christians living in "Israel" it is not the sort of tolerant society such as the UK which at least tries to be "colour-blind"

Jesus ancestors came from UR a city in Northern part of Iraq, between Iraq and Turkey. Take a look at the northern Iraqis and you'll See Jesus' color and it is not black.

It is for sure that Jesus was not a white guy with blone hair & beard! He cant be black either, he was a guy with arab appearence, that is quite tanned skin with curly dark hair and probably has bit of beard as it used to be fashon at that time...(hope jesus wont mind if I'm wrong!)

First, we do not have direct evidence of what Jesus looked like.
Yet, based on the region we can assume that he was not black nor white.
He was probably tan or better known as "olive colored" skin.

Get over Malcum X. Jesus looked like a Jew. They are slightly lighter in skin color than other middle eastern peoples. They are not white or black.

Nobody knows because there aren't any pictures of him by people who knew him or what he looked like.
Most pictures and drawings of him depict him as being white, but that's mainly due to racism.
Personally, I think he may very well have been black.
But does it really matter?

Why does it matter? Why is skin color such a big issue for some people? Do you believe that skin color defines who a person is? I don't so I don't care what color Jesus is, I personally think he should be portrayed in all colors to represent all people.
