I will not tolerate anyone coming in here to spew their western brainwashed head with no evidence to back their claims.

If you must claim Jesus or whomever was white or yellow etc, no problem.

But you must come with EVIDENCE, or don't come.

Many people suffer from serious inferiority complex. 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.

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?
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.

In antiquity, blacks were highly respected across Europe and beyond, and held important offices from kings to soldiers, artisans, doctors, scientists, priests, and teachers.

They weren't black 2000 years ago. Many of them migrated to Europe after the fall of Jerusalem and they were not black.
Dude, even in the bible the ancient Israelites described themselves as blacks!

''Our skin is black like an oven...'' Lamentations 5:10

“I am black and beautiful, You daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.'' - Song of Solomon 1:5

Yahweh himself said the Israelites were ''just like the Ethiopians'' to him in AMOS 9:7

And then He says this:

“From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia [ie beyond the River Nile into West and Central Africa], my worshippers, MY DISPERSED ONES shall bring my offering” (Zephania 3:10).

Are you aware that the "Middle East," was physically connected to Africa until 1859 when the Suez Canal was completed? Europeans actually called it Northeast Africa till some British idiot coined the term 'middle east' in the 19th century.

Those who depicted him never saw him and never knew what he looked like either. They depicted him based on their beliefs, ego or just wishes.
Wrong. They depicted him based on the fact that they knew the 'middle east' was a black territory in antiquity, and that the ancient Israelites were depicted as blacks in the archeological ruins of the Israel region which they were all privy to:

So history tells us that over 1 million black Israelites fled into Africa following the fall of Jerusalem to Rome in 70 AD, approximately 2,000 years ago.

That 1 million population would have ballooned to well over 700 million today, ie more than half of the current African population of 1.2 billion.

So it is fair to say that AT LEAST one in two Africans alive today is descended from the Israelites who fled Jerusalem after the invasion of Rome in 70 AD.

Again, the form or colour Jesus came in doesn't matter. The most important thing is the second paragraph above. Don't let ITK (I Too Know) lead you to miss heaven - that's if you even believe it exists. I won't reply you again.
If the colour doesn't matter then why did your colonial rulers change his colour from black to white?

You can't see it was a psychological game being played on you to feel racially inferior and see the white man as your superior and your ''saviour''?

Olodo.

Oh sure the colour doesn't matter at all.

SmartPolician:
The Bible contains series of events that happened in a part of the world. Considering that most of the events happened in today's Middle-East, let's stop fooling ourselves, Jesus Christ couldn't have come as a black man.

However, Jesus' race is not even important. The most important thing is living a Christ-like lifestyle and taking His Gospel across the ends of the earth. This is where our salvation lies.
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 Hebrews 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.

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'.

All the oldest pictures and statues of Jesus depict Him as Black with Nappy hair, yet the world was presented with a white Jesus from the Roman Empire. Why?

''And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.''

Always making flimsy excuses for your enslavers.

One of the changes in the constitution review process is for the grid to be decentralized so states can take the initiative to generate power. It has been stuck at the State Houses of Assembly for some months now. Rather than channel your energies in that direction you are here spending it on wishful promises that you have been hearing from every single government at the center since you were born.

Have you forgotten Albert Einstein's famous definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again hoping to achieve a different result. Soon like generations before you, you would be 60 years old and still looking for were to charge your rechargeable lamp.
