MOST DO. How can they call them-self Christan and be so racist and hateful that they would die before worshiping a black Jesus

Yes, alot of Cristians do. The bible never describes Jesus's skin tone, but it does state in several places (source: dad) that jesus WAS a Jew. The jewish that live in present time look like a awsomly tanned caucasian guy (no burn) so why not assume that the Jews a few thousand years ago did to?

I believe he was quite tan, but would still be identified as Caucasian, were he to walk around in the United States. The Phoenicians, Israel's neighbors to the north for many years were quite fair-skinned, I would expect the Hebrews to have been darker because of their desert-dwelling place, however, not as dark as the Egyptians, or modern Arabs.

Only the dumb ones. A blue-eyed, Caucasian Jesus depiction is rarely seen. Only in films such as "The Ten Commandments", and "Jesus Christ Superstar", and perhaps a few isolated fundamentalist churches, in say Mississippi, would you find anything other than a brown-skin-ed, brown-eyed Christ.

It never really mattered what Jesus Christ looked like. It is what he has done for humanity that counts.
And physical anthropologists think he was a short little guy with proto-Arab features with a little Egyptian, and Egyptians of that era were much like Egyptians today - an interesting blend of Caucasian and African features.

In my opinion, I believe Jesus is "olive complexioned" ( light golden brown) since he came from the middle east I don't think the people there had white skin as we know it. It really doesn't matter what color he is since he is looked at for spiritual reasons and not color.

Well although He was not Caucasian....
Revelation 1:13-14
"13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;"

I know of no one that believes Jesus Christ was Caucasian.
The Bible describes him as having Bronze skin, hair as of wool, and having a beard.
He was Jewish by birth. I believe God chose this race of people so that no one could boast of him being Black or White.
He was placed as the Son of God and born of Mary, in a poor setting to show that we all can pick ourselves up and lift ourselves out of the sin we were born in, by burying it under the blood and accept our inheritance by grace.

You are generalizing that only Christians ever believed that...
No, most pretty intelligent people realize that Jesus was not white

He was most likely tan. Otherwise, the Romans would have noticed the really white guy who was frail like a woman a lot quicker.
Remember, he was a carpenter.

Christians don't really focus on what Jesus looked like. Because he was born into a Jewish family I imagine He looks Jewish. I really don't care what He looks like it is what Jesus did for us that matters.
