Did you know it was considered punishable by death to even say Mohammad, the Devil’s “prophet”, was black?

The window installed at the long-closed St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Warren in 1878 is the oldest known public example of stained glass on which Christ is depicted as a person of color that one expert has seen.

That one expert is a stupid fool for making himself an expert in baseless futility.

Aging — particularly in the presence of innumerable candles burned — would account for that.

Jesus probably looked like Mohammed bin Salman. As long as we are on the same subject, I've imagined Cleopatra to look similar, Mediterranean/Arab looking with olive/medium dark skin.

Olive skin color from being “born” in Israel

Another example of blacks trying to own a culture other than their own failed cult of violent feral animals.

Logic leans a lot farther toward darker skin and black hair rather than light skinned and blonde hair.

Here is an actual polaroid taken just before the last supper.

Heh ... next you’ll tell us He drove a Honda because He said He didn’t speak of His own Accord.

Since Jesus is God’s son - on many levels all in
‘the family of man’ can claim Him as ours.

Or maybe God is Jewish and chose a Jewish woman to carry His child.

I can make a case for many positions.

That’s fine for white and near white people. Thye can be saved by a white Jesus ‘cause they got white souls. But where, oh where, is the Black Messiah? When can I get my black soul saved?

“Jesus probably looked like an Arab with medium dark skin.”

All throughout the Mediterranean area including Spain, Greece, Italy, The Levant, they are “Olive” skinned. Is is normal even for Arabic tribes.

The most beautiful women I have ever seen were from Greece or Italy with Olive skin and GREEN eyes. Same with Jewish and Arabic peoples, many have Olive skin and Green eyes.

We do NOT know what color the eyes or skin of Jesus actually were no matter how he has been depicted... Nor will we ever... Prove racist stance or take a hike. It is a nothing burger nonissue.

Except to someone who is racist...

...founded to support the migration of freed slaves to Liberia in Africa.

Oh, my lord! This is outrageous! Support for a back to Africa movement! We need to immediately rename schools and streets named for Marcus Garvey to something decent! Like George Floyd, or St. Skittles or even Fentanyl!

*I* know.

His skin was plaid and he had polka-dot eyes.

read the organization these two women support...wants blacks to go back to africa...

President Jefferson supported the organization and it did result in the repatriated slaves from America founding the Republic of Liberia in West Africa.

Lol! A great line wryly-delivered by Niven.
