What about where it’s said Solomon was black? Does that not mean that David would have been black?

Must we watch the video??
Just say how much he spent on it

Nothing wrong with the statues.

As a matter of fact, I would like to visit Imo state solely for the purpose of seeing the statues.

We go to other countries and admire the artefacts but frown when they are erected in our environs.

Fair point. However:-
1. It could be argued that he was "dark" or "black" - (depending on the version you read), relative to those around him - Song of Solomon 1:5.
The tall, dark and handsome trope doesn't apply to black men exclusively. Men of other races fit into this category by virtue of their darker complexion or hair colour.
Plus the use of "Black" as a description for Subsaharan Africans is relatively recent
2. If Solomon was indeed black, it would mean that at least one of his parents was black. That parent could very well be his mother which means there's no proof that David was black, which means that there also isn't any proof that Nathan, who might have been Jesus's ancestor was black.
3. If Jesus was infact a biological descendant of Solomon, there were 27 generations between Solomon and Jesus, by which time even the "One-Drop Rule" would be difficult to enforce; unless further racial mixing occurred, Jesus's physical traits could not have been anywhere close to "black".

I get your point. Historically, Ethiopia had been a black nation. Was never colonized. They also traded in Silk Road as far back as 20000 years ago before Christ.

My point, what would you say about Queen Sheba of Ethiopia’s relationship with King Solomon. It’s written all over the Bible and Quoran.

Why is it that the Assyrian invasion of Israel only wiped out the Judeans from Israel. Remember, King Solomon and King David were king of Judea.

Finally, why did Mary take little Jesus to Egypt when Herold wanted him for dinner. FYI the part of Egypt that shares border with Israel is historically black and has always been till today. Been there.
