Please provide confirmation that God is white.

That's an argument that is not a new one. It used to be used by some folks recruiting for the Nation of Islam...as well as some white supremacist groups.
My answer to that was, is and will remain:
God is not white. God is not black. God is not one specific race. The Bible teaches in John 4:24 that God is spirit, and those who believe must worship God in spirit and in truth. Plus if one believes that God created humans in his or her own image, then God is like all of us. A difficult concept, but that's how I see it. Image wise, God is who one needs God to be. That's not necessarily right or wrong...it just is because of human nature.
I am black, but my family was a multicultural one. Hence the reason I always tried to find images of God, Jesus, the Virgin Mary that reflected a variety of ethnicities. It works for us :)

I've got a feeling that you're serious about this question. That's scary. White God? Where is this coming from? Take some unsolicited advice: Spend the money and get that much needed shock treatment.

I think this question is moot. No one has seen God, so how do any of us know what He looks like?
Oh and you also made a general statement about Black Americans. Not true and you know that.

We are created in His image. He is everything, we are part of Him, we are all connected. Different groups characterize Him in the way that is the most comfortable for them. We see the most as white because of all the painters that came out of Europe at the time. I have seen sadaric, black, white, even asian Jesus'.

God is spirit and all who worship him must do so in spirit and truth. God has no color and no preferencer and what he does for one he can do for us all. No matter what color one is -- all christians are worshipping the same God of the univerise.

Jesus is God, and Jewish, therefore, hardly white. Olive skinned and darker, perhaps.
What difference does it make? Your question is a trolling question anyway

What makes you think that God is white?
Have you seen him?

I think that some of them think that Jesus was black.
Seems to me like he probably would have been olive skinned. Based on the region he was supposedly from.

Jesus IS NOT g-d, WAS jewish, wasn't white, but middle eastern. G-d has no race, nationality, physical being...
