There are but in a racist country like America they even show Job in the publications as being with blue eyes and blonde hair.
Job was the greatest Oriental of his time, but the whites will publish him as being white with blue eyes.
Most all the Bibilical characters were very dark skinned, even African as that's where we all come from, but what does white America show constantly? Jesus as some broken down greasy haired, diseased hippy-looking drug addict flower child. That's how they show Jesus when in fact he was very very dark skin like that of an African.
Whites continue to try to "white wash" anything they get their hands on. This has been reported to the society also but nothing has changed.
It is awful how whites cannot even tell the truth about something like the Bible and the people, characters that the Bible is written about or that it has in it.
Armageddon will certainly be a wonderful time to wipe out all the white washed bigotry in this world, but namely Americans seem to have the biggest problem telling the truth or treating each one equal. What I mean by that is white America continues to do this and there is no logical reason why.
It's sad, but good point. It needed to be brought out. Don't worry, they'll pay soon enough.

misplaced mother, is rite, and the eunuch was baptized, he realized the importance of shearing this good news's of the kingdom,i suggest to read the entire story, it's really encouraging. i hope you don't feel the bible is racist, it is far from it,here are some more encouraging scripture's for you to look up.Revelation 7:9,10;Ac-ts 10:34,35;James 3:17;Matthew 24:14; 2 Peter 3:8-10, notice here it Say's ALL to attain repentance. I also think another good thing to point out is, in the Early Bible time's, allot of the people in the story's probably were not white, like were Jesus was born, Jesus most likely was not white, he was most likely what everyone else was in his town, it would have been extremely weird for him to pop out as the only white guy in Jerusalem. So Jehovah God created us all in, he Love's us all. '~'

Moses married a black woman, Tziporah. She is in the Bible.

No, most of them shouldn't be black. Nor were they white. They were middle-eastern and arabic Jews.
Indeed the earliest paintings of jesus show him as a thin middle eastern man (rather brown) with a goatee. Many of the other characters were similar as they were from the same time period. Perhaps the only "whites" were the greeks or romans.
However, in the bible Jesus is pretty intolerant of other peoples, mentioning that he's only here to save the jews and that non-jews are "dogs"...

There are black people in the Bible. In fact, one of my favorite stories is about a black man being saved on a road, and of a man who was sent there for that purpose.

Acts 8:26-28 relates this story:
However, Jehovah's angel spoke to Phillip, saying "Rise and go to the south to the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza." (This is a desert road.) With that he rose and went and look! an Ethiopian eunuch, a man in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, and who was over all her treasure. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship.

Maybe you should ask why Jesus is a white guy with blue eyes and light brown hair.
Because that really confused me when I first learned that the bible takes place in the middle eastish area. I was like "what the hell? White guys in the middle east?

There is this passage:
Song of Solomon 1:5 (New International Version)
Dark am I, yet lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
dark like the tents of Kedar,
like the tent curtains of Solomon

Blacks were mostly in Africa during biblical times. Notice that they don't talk about Aborigines or Native Americans either. The writers probably didn't even know they existed.

Look at the regions it focuses on. They are all black, including Jesus.
It was popular European art during the 1400's that depicted everyone as white, and it caught on.
