I've already proven i'm not black. I have posted pictures of me everywhere around here, dammit. Just because I am a fan of a couple of black fighters it doesn't mean i'm black.

No announcement yet.
If Jesus was proven to be black, would Christianity still have 2 billion followers?

Jesus was not white. I grew up attending Catholic mass every week followed by Sunday School and I can tell you, Jesus was dipicted as having white features. Noone today actually thinks he was white, but the art from that time period does portray a white Jesus. Its only natural that Jesus would be embodied as a white man because thats what these people knew, thats what they identified with. You can't call them ignorant for their failed attempt to embody a being that lived 1500 years before them. As far as the blond hair / blue eye reference I can only think of a famous movie from back in the 70's that fits this discreption. Jesus always had brown hair / brown eyes in every Catholic depiction of Jesus I have seen. Of course today we know Jesus was more middle eastern looking, I dont believe theres a lot of debate up about this. Jesus was from the Palestine area, and I can also tell you that people from this area are generally lighter skin looking. I know because I am of Lebanese decent and I look pretty Greek or Italian looking. This is probably the reason the Italian artist depicted Jesus as lighter skin, because their are A LOT of lighter skin palestinians.

Because for all visual purposes, I am 100% European looking. I have green eyes, brown hair and can tan quite dark The only ancestors I have on my mothers side which might not be considered "white" were jewish yet most Jews look white to me anyway.
