Jesus is a Jew, I am thinking He had a great tan from being in the desert. I think white people only picture Jesus white. 'Cept I am pale skinned, I think that He was very brown/plus the scripture describes him as homely.
Well we asked out teacher in school the same question 14 years ago and he answered.
I saw God she was black ! . back then we couldn´t figure out what he was telling us but now i guess he wanted to say that God / Jesus is whatever we can imagine.....
He is white because the roman catholic church in europe implemented him that way....
I guess in Africa or other countries you will see him as an mulatta or black one aswell
Well, he lived around the Medditeranian (sp?) so he was likely not Aryan. By the same token, there is nothing to say that there was an African influence on the gene pool of the time, so I dn't think he was black either. I believe that he was the same color as the races that are currently in that area- the middle eastern, olive to light olive colors.
Well right now, he is in his spiritual form and transcends color, biology and race. But when he was alive I believe according to the area he lived in, I believe he was either olive skinned or dark skinned. Even if he was born snow white, it would have been pretty hard for him to keep that complexion living wherehe lived.
Despite what is portrayed in pictures, on tv, and in movies, Jesus was a Nazarene. I personally believe that He looks similar to what the people of the middle east look like today. He isn't black and He isn't white. It doesn't matter to me whether He is black or white anyway. He's still the son of God and that's all that matters to me.
Jesus was Jewish, that said, as a Jewish man his complexion could have been light or dark. People always make God look like themselves, and white people have been monopolizing for Christian faith the longest.
