There was an episode of Good Times that aired back in the mid seventies where JJ paints a picture of a Black Jesus.
The controversy on the show sparked a prejudice review and bad ratings despite the beliefs of the producer that felt showing the painting was going to help understand Jesus more especially in the Ghetto.
Nobody on the show said that Jesus was Jewish only that he may have been Black.

The popular image of Jesus Christ as a white man with blondish brown hair was based on the image of Cesare Borgia, serial killer, son of a pope, who had an incestous affair with his sister Lucretia most of his life. Cesare and his sister both are depicted more than once each in the Last Supper painted by Cesare's one time employee Leonardo da Vinci.

The Borgia's are described here in this great article about them as The First Crime Family.

The real image of Jesus is the SUN, he was once known as Horus, and MYTHra. It's just mythology.

It matters not if Jesus was white or black. What matters is who Jesus is and what he can and will do for us who call on his name.Remember the question jesus asked "who is your neighbour?" It matters not the colour of ones skin but the attitude of the heart and mind.

His religion was Jewish and his nationality was middle east, so look at the people in the middle east and you will see what he probably looked like. Dark Skin, Dark hair and brown eyes. European artists made him blond haired and blue eyed to match their ideal since during the crusades the other image was out of Vogue.

Jesus was born in the Middle East in Israel, he would not be white, thats for sure, His skin color would definitely be darker than the average american.

Well, He was born from a woman that was a 1st century Jew. That would make Him look like a Middle Eastern Arab-wouldn't it?

I don't know what he looked like, but I'd bet good money that he wasn't a blond-haired, blue-eyed European as he is depicted in most pictures. He would've died of melanoma LONG before the crucifixion...

Jesus was neither white nor black, he was a Hebrew.

he was a Jew, born in the middle east. He looked very much like anyone else born on the Mediterranean sea.
