unfortunately DNA testing shows the Times got this one wrong: Beta Israel - "Falasha" is considered a derogatory term - are ethiopian converts to judaism, not a lost tribe.

Rufus: Jesus wasn't white, Jesus was black.
Bethany: Well then why did he get written about and you didn't?
Rufus: Well, he IS the son of God. Kinda hard to have a New Testament without him. So you fudge a few facts, put a spin on his ethnicity. Leavin' me out's okay because you still got twelve white boys to choose from.
Jay: Are you buying any of this shit?

Rufus: White folks only want to hear the good shit: life eternal, a place in God's Heaven. But as soon as they hear they're getting this good shit from a black Jesus, they freak. And that, my friends, is called hypocrisy. A black man can steal your stereo, but he can't be your Savior.


Sorry, couldn't resist.

many peoople, unfortunately, think this way.

JW:
I can't help wondering when you are going to send Farrakhan a certified letter telling him that the real Jews are black. As they say, how ironic is that? (I also suggest you deliver it via Brown).

Considering that you have the following problems with your theory that Jesus was black:

1) Your primary source lacks a single explict description of Jesus being black.

2) Your primary source lacks a single good implication that Jesus was black.

3) There is no clear description of Jesus being black in Christian literature.

4) There is no clear description of Jesus being black in anyone's literature of the early centuries.

5) No one describes Israel of the time as being populated by a black race.

6) Modern descendents of Jews of the time seem to be predominately not black.

7) What about the popular saying, "Once your Covenant goes Black, it never goes back"?

Looks to me like you have even less evidence than Vinnie has that Jesus was gay so I think you should throw into your argument absolutely everything you can think of. What about adding Bruce Allmighty? Personally, I found Morgan Freeman very convincing.

NEGRO, n.
The piece de resistance in the American political problem. Representing him by the letter n, the Republicans begin to build their equation thus: "Let n = the white man." This, however, appears to give an unsatisfactory solution.

Way back when I thought that the idea that it could be proved that Christopher Columbus was a Jew was a wonderful thing, but then I found out that the old boy was a real nasty character. I no longer want to share any ancestry with his ignominious self, so I hope that it can be proved that he was just a plain old gentile.
Why would you want to claim that a slew of religion mongers including Jesus, the world's greatest purveyor of ignorance and lies, as your own.
Please Beanie claim Jesus as yours so that I may disassociate myself from the stupidity that he unleashed on the world.

12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man,"[2] dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

Haven't you ever heard of a "Jew Fro"?
Notice it says "white like wool" Not kinky like wool.
What color is "bronze glowing in a furnace"?
What color is the "the sun shining in all its brilliance" ?
What race has a tongue like "a sharp double-edged sword"?
Do you realize that not all black skinned people are Africans (of course if you go back far enough we are all Africans)?
Even if you could prove that there was a black skinned historical Krishna that in no way implies that he was African.
Your ethnocentric mystical paradigm would be amusing if it wasn't so sad.
Many mixed race people like Tiger Woods ( in reality we are all of mixed heritage) are resisting your narrow definition of racial identity. The middle East has been an historical cross roads from the time that people first walked out of Africa. Arabs, Jews, Greeks, Italians all have mixed ancestry and many members of these groups obviously have some African ancestors. This is not a great big secret. Why are you so fixated on this trivial stuff.
H.L. Mencken once wrote an essay (some what tongue in cheek I'm sure) proving that the majority of Southern Blacks were superior to the Southern Whites because the ancestors of most Southern Whites came out of the prisons of England while most southern blacks were mixed with English aristocracy.

The "US" is Blacks, the "THEM" is the oppressors. Blacks have been oppressed in America for over 400 years! IS THIS NOT TRUE?

beanpie

Are you suggesting that any amount of blood, not Black, makes one not "Black?

Many people believe this was a "great" man. I do not.

To me, it is not great, to beg your ex-master, for a room in his house. Me thinks it would have been much better to encouage Blacks to build their own house and "go for self". As an ex-slave, what would you do?

REALLY? You don't say? And all this time, I thought...
