Assuming such a person existed I don't think Jesus was black it doesn't make sense for the geography of biblical stories. That's one of many flaws in some black supremacist thought not whites doesnt mean black. I definitely don't think he was blond with blue eyes like way to many depictions show him as, I'd say the dude looked like an Iraqi or Egyptian

Well yeah, he was born in the Middle east. Chances are, he was Semitic in appearance. I don't know how it works but Jews, Palestinians, and Jordanians are supposed to all be Semites, descendants of Shem or something and tribes of Isreal. ie sharing a common ancestry, yet they don't look the same. I guess they diverged, in which case, Jesus could have looked like Woody Allen, or he might have looked like King Abdulla, who knows.

SILLY TICKLAH!

JESUS IS A FABLE THAT EXISTS ONLY IN THE MIND OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM, AND EXISTS ONLY AS THEY IMAGINE HIM.

SO HE IS/WAS WHITE.

Nutters.

'Jesus isn't black. I know. A couple of years ago I hurt my ankle and had him and 'Jose cut my lawn for about a month.

From what I understand, there have been historical records of there being an idividual named Jesus who was a pain in the arse to the Roman empire who eventually crucified him. The whole water to wine and walking on water stuff is the part that you have to put faith in.

I'm pretty sure, as there is still scholarly debate on the matter, either side is still entirely supposition. I have not seen anywhere evidence of anything. The man the world knows, however, is a myth.
