Do you think it could very well be possible that Jesus was Black?

[Riddler]

This is a serious question.

[miller-time]

well he wasn't white.

[Riddler]

well he wasn't white.


I'm just wondering if the Black Hebrew Israelites are making a valid point.

[TheBall]

Jesus is not even black on that picture.He was white. I mean i don't beliave in all that stuff, but as historical person i beliave he was white guy. If he was black, there would be some words about it in bible and stuff.

[Sarcastic]

I always heard that he was Chinese :confusedshrug:

[kentatm]

He had a perma tan most pale faced people would pay for these days.

[LilBTheBasedGod]

This.

Probably this skin color.

nlgga's from Bethlehem, and he is a Jew, probably a bit swarthy.:confusedshrug:

[Harion]

He is of Aryan descent.

[BigTicket]

If he ever existed, he was born in the middle-east, so he probaly wouldn't have been white or black, he would have been arabic.

[Premeditated]

Man who give a fukk if he was black? Its not gonna make any difference to the black community.

"oh sh1t!!....Pookie breh breh. You know dat n1gga Jesus was black right?"
"oh word? damn loc"
"Aye you ready to blast dem n1ggaz at McArthur Park cuz?"

This. But black people and white people like to forget that there's other options besides A and B lol

[Jailblazers7]

He probably was black since he has been used as a slave by whites to accomplish their agendas throughout history.

[ALBballer]

Let's take it a step further did Jesus even exist?

Just sayin brah. Any historical documents on our savior? Or is he only mention in religious books.

Historical documents?LOL? WTF?

I dont believe in god, just saying there always has to be on guy who feels the need to let it be known that he does not believe in god.

[RoTM]

Jesus is the reborn sun a very old symbol. Also a lot his parables like his questioning by the pharisees in Jerusalem for instance seem like they were pulled from other sources. Its too similar to the Greek style master student QA thing they used to use as a teaching device to be real. The others have too many parallels with astrology and the zodiac cycle.

[DeuceWallaces]

It's pretty much a fact he was a real man.

[Crown&Coke]

his name is Jesus, my guess is he is Mexican or some kind of Latino.

[ALBballer]

Many historians believe the historical figure of Jesus existed, but there are no documents which mention Jesus during his lifetime.

PS:

I made that comment with no intentions of spreading atheism. For all you know I could be a Jew (assuming you didn't read my title.)

[TheReturnofCed]

Let's see some sources. Peer-reviewed, of course. As you would ask for in other debates :D

Exactly.

[KevinNYC]

Exactly.

Technically not Arabic, but Semitic. Semitic covers both Arabic and Aramaic which is was what Biblical Jews like Jesus would have spoken

[KevinNYC]

Speaking of which.

What the **** is up with posting an Anti-Semitic cartoon from a racist and Anti-Semitic website.

No they are not.

Here's a recent article on Black Hebrew Israelites (http://www.villagevoice.com/2011-03-30/news/black-hebrew-israelites-new-york-s-most-obnoxious-prophets/). Even their girlfriends think they are jokes.

No disrespect intended, but this is a stupid debate and question. It really doesn't matter today. White people rule the world anyway so even if it is (and it has) that Jesus isn't white but of another race, he would still be marketed throughout the world as white because that's the dominant race is white. When the dominant race because black, chinese, or arab, then Jesus will be known throughout the world as black, chinese, or arab.

But the people who run the world today are the West. Before they were "white people" they fought against themselves as Huns, Slovaks, Saxons etc. They didn't think of themselves as the same people for thousands of years. But what the West is, is a triumph of multiculturalism.

The West is essentially (Jewish + Christian religious culture) + (Greek/Roman science, philosophy and the arts) + (contributions from lots of other cultures [Islamic algebra, Chinese gunpowder, etc] + the modern scientific method. The Roman empire was huge so it took what worked from almost the entire globe. The West really isn't a race, it's what works plus a tradition of education. Japan is obviously of "the east" but is a highly technological country and is considered part of the developed West.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Peter Griffin has black ancestors.
So yes.

[DonDadda59]

What about his name being Yashayah, anybody care to weigh in on this? belief, disbelief, indifference? :confusedshrug:

funny that you bring that up. I'm reading a book that's based on the life of the roman emperor claudius (from his point of view so it's historical fiction) and he had a correspondence with his childhood friend herod antipas (grandson of herod the great) and herod was convinced that he was the jewish messiah- he was born in bethlehem, descended from david, became king of the jews, etc. He mentions a joshua ben joseph (yeshua ben yosef, translated to greek\english means jesus son of joseph) as being another claimant to the messiah handle.

According to him, joshua\yeshua\jesus was a child prodigy when it came to jewish scripture, studied at the temple and everything. But at the same time he was fascinated with greek philosophy and thought the jewish religion as it was was stifling and too rigid. So he hooked up with a fisherman named james who had studied greek literature and philosophy extensively and basically created a new religion which was a syncretic fusion of greek ideals and paganism (the virgin birth, death & ressurection, etc) and judaic law\monotheism. Joshua was a priest at this point and used his position to spread his new religion and build up a following.

This was a problem for the powers that be\were obviously so they whooped his ass and strung him up as they did with countless other agitators. Only difference was he had built up a loyal following and they spread his new religion and further down the line they deified him (the pauline christians, the original christians aka the ebionites firmly believed joshua was just a man).

Um Arabian is a horse, the people are called Arabs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabs)

I also just learned this word from Wikipedia: ethnonym (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnonym)
An ethnonym is the name applied to a given ethnic group.

[Keith]

Jesus was perfect thus not white or black.

[Javat_90]

Wasnt it Jesus himself who said the only thing race does is divide and create fights between people?

Do you think if Jesus existed, and judging by his message, he really gave a shit about "race"?

[miller-time]

Wasnt it Jesus himself who said the only thing race does is divide and create fights between people?

ironically so does religion.

[Javat_90]

ironically so does religion.
Almost all religions are corrupted by the movement itself, the bureaucratic forms (The Vatican in this case) and the individuals themselves.

Even if the original message is a pure and respectable one (from the few things ive read, the New Testament has nice messages), the movement is always going to get corrupted.

It happened to Communism also, it started out as a pure good intentionally driven thing, until a couple of leeches sucked in and corrupted it.

[beermonsteroo]

No it's not possible. He looked somewhat between a modern Jew and a modern arab.

You mean Yeshua Ben Yosef right? Cause Jesus isn't the name of the guy you think and know of.

[Crystallas]

If you're worried about his ethnicity, then you sure as hell aren't getting the message.

DoofyWally and his "facts"


:roll:

Pretty sure most historians agree he was based on a real guy these days don't they? Although I'm pretty sure most people in an intellectual field agree he was just another "messiah" in a period that was full of people claiming to be the next big thing, he wasn't even the first person claiming what he was claiming.

[CasterL]

As the mighty lord RZA says in B.I.B.L.E, the white image of jesus, is really Caesar Borgia .

His dad was Pope so he allegedly immortalised his son as the traditional face of Jesus thenceforth. Pretty sweet if true.

Obvs of middle eastern descent.
