WAS JESUS BLACK?The earliest gods and messiahs on all the continents were black. Research has yielded an impressive amount of material on the subject...The Messiahs, some of whom lived many centuries before Christ, had lives which so closely paralleled that of Christ that it seems most likely that the story of the latter was adapted from them. Moreover, the word Christ comes from the Indian, Krishna or Chrisna, which means "The Black One."
J.A. Rogers
Many of the madonnas painted in the earliest centuries of Christ- iandom were black, according to historians, and it wasn't until the Renaissance that it became popular to give the mother of Christ the features of a Florentine maiden [a white woman]

Does it matter if he was Black or not?
The resaon the established church would lie is the thing that is most pertinent.
“Does it matter if he was Black or not?”
Good question, Insurgent.
Ultimately, no, it does not matter if Jesus was black or if Jesus was white, or if he was Semitic or if he was short, or if he was tall, or if he was an Aquarian.
What matters is the truth. Often the truth can be found by reverse engineering lies. As Jasai says – why would the established church lie?
Now there are images all over the world of Jesus. Each time an image is manufactured, someone chooses to depict the race of Jesus. If it does not matter, why is 99% of the time Jesus’ race is depicted as something it is nearly impossible for it to have been?
Personally, I want to understand more about the teachings of Christ. Understanding more about the culture that produced Jesus (ancient Egypt, African Mystery Religions, Ethiopia) could prove to be a small door that leads to a large room.
I get that the truth is important but, it seems to me, that most Christians care more about Jesus' race (assuming he even existed) than about his teachings.
In addition, the established church lies about a whole lot. Anyone who needs the church to teach them about their religion is already so intellectually challenged that any deviousness by the establishment with regard to race is irrelevant. Sheep are sheep and whether they are being led in the name of an olive-skinned or white-skinned holy man is absolutely meaningless.
