Many people suffer from serious inferiority complex. Why exactly is Jesus' skin colour a concern to any confident person?

Besided, the people in the part of the world where Jesus was born into aren't black, and neither are they even white. Why exactly is Jesus' skin colour a concern to any confident person?

It is not unimportant to know TRUE history. Imbibing a history of lies and fake white superiority leads to your destruction.

That the people of the 'middle east' are mostly Arab today does not mean they were Arab 2000 years ago. Migrations happened in
history. The ancient Egyptians, who built the pyramids, looked nothing like the Arabs who occupy that land today.

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus, for example, described the Colchians of the Black Sea shores as "Egyptians by race" and pointed out they had "black skins and kinky hair."

Apollodorus, the Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny desiccated look."

Numerous tomb artefacts also show the ancient Egyptians as black Africans.

You must be really thick-skulled to be looking at history staring you in the face, and still be talking the opposite like a brainwashed person..

So explain the black madonna images and numerous European church images depicting the ancient Jews and Jesus as blacks?

Are you aware that the place you call ''Middle East'', (a name coined by 18th century Europeans, as that part of the world was 'east' of Europe, and midway between Europe and Asia or the 'far east') was actually part of Africa ((or 'Ethiopia') as it was known)) in antiquity?

Go and learn history. 99% of you are totally ignorant of the past.

Seen several catholic posts about Jesus being black. A man walked into my offices sometimes 3 years ago, told me how he saw Jesus face on the wall n he said he was black. He even snapped it n showed me.

I will believe to a certain extent because prophet ISAIAH described his HAIR well and from his description it resembled that of the SOMALIANS of Eastern Africa.
Only GOOD BIBLE students will remember this.
I used to be a very good Bible student, until I retreated to study more about my heritage.

Only a FEW put our heritage in Writing. At some point they are even mocked for doing so.

People credit Europeans with being explorers and 'discoverers' of nations and continents, but history tells us that black Africans were the original explorers, and have been sailing the world for THOUSANDS of years in ships, before the Europeans left their caves, which is probably why we later eased up on our travels. Did we get bored? Perhaps.

Here are some Olmec heads discovered in South America, showing clear West African features, and dated to nearly 3,600 years ago!

And yet they claim that Christopher Columbus who landed there 300 years ago, was the person who ''discovered'' the Americas.

You are just mixing up pictures of ancient Assyrians and an Egyptian dynasty ruled by nubians all predating Jesus Christ. Rome ruled over the Jewish lands during the time of Jesus, maybe studying their account of the people living in those areas will shade more light.

I am ''mixing up'' NOTHING. I KNOW THE HISTORY AND HAVE STUDIED IT LIKELY SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN.

Don't bring confusion in here to deceive people.

The Nubian dynasty of Pharaoh Tarhaqa, Pharaoh Piankhi and the rest was not the only black dynasty or leadership in Ancient Egypt. The earlier rulers were all blacks, and the rulers that came after the Nubian interregnum were all blacks as well. It was only starting from the Ptolemaic era of Roman invasion around 300 BC that we see Roman rulers of Egypt, eg Cleopatra, Ptolemy 1 etc.

The ancient Roman accounts claim the Jews were AFRICAN people:

Here is a direct quote from Strabo around 30 BC when Israel and the Levant had been infiltrated by foreigners:

Strabo, The Geography, Book XVI.ii.34-38, 40, 46, c. 22 CE

''These districts (of Jerusalem and Joppa) lie towards the north; they are inhabited generally, and each place in particular, by mixed tribes of Egyptians, Arabians, and Phoenicians. Of this description are the inhabitants of Galilee, of the plain of Jericho, and of the territories of Philadelphia and Samaria, surnamed Sebaste by Herod; but though there is such a mixture of inhabitants, the report most credited, among many things believed respecting the temple and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, is that the Egyptians were the ancestors of the present Jews''.

http://www.bu.edu/mzank/Jerusalem/tx/romansources.htm

And who were the EGYPTIANS at that time?

Apollodorus, the ancient Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny desiccated look."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/africa/features/storyofafrica/3chapter5.shtml

Tacitus (born 56 AD) also stated this:

Tacitus: From The Histories, Book V, c. 110 CE

''Some say that the Jews were fugitives from the island of Crete, who settled on the nearest coast of Africa about the time when Saturn was driven from his throne by the power of Jupiter. Evidence of this is sought in the name. There is a famous mountain in Crete called Ida; the neighbouring tribe, the Idaei, came to be called Judaei by a barbarous lengthening of the national name. Others assert that in the reign of Isis the overflowing population of Egypt, led by Hierosolymus and Judas, discharged itself into the neighboring countries. Many, again, say that they were a race of Ethiopian origin, who in the time of king Cepheus were driven by fear and hatred of their neighbors to seek a new dwelling-place.''

http://www.bu.edu/mzank/Jerusalem/tx/romansources.htm

SO THE EVIDENCE IS CLEARLY NOT HIDDEN. IT IS ALL THERE IN PLAIN SIGHT. THE ANCIENT HEBREWS AND THEIR LEADER, JESUS, WERE BLACK FOLKS.

It's not about ''if''. Go on Google Images right now and search 'black madonna'. You will see hundreds of images from old churches across Europe showing their earliest depictions of Jesus, Mary and the Jews. It was of black negroid people. You can visit those churches today and view the images. So there is no ''if'' there.

Meanwhile the colonialists came here and sold you a white Swedish looking man to worship as your 'saviour'.

You don't get the point. Christians don't worship image. They worship the risen Christ.

All these arguments are for idle men and unnecessary.
