I've seen this ad. I feel that getting caught up in the color of Jesus misses the message. It doesnt matter.

No indication ever that Jesus' crucifixion was motivated by racism. I am sure this movie will appeal to those who want to racialize everything. I would even respect a movie that just depicted Jesus as a dark skinned Jew among many. But to claim there was a racial motivation is just pandering to racial tensions today.

LOL. No preaching neccesary. The fact is we don't know what Jesus looked like. He could have been dark, so I have no problem with such depiction, but no evidence indicates there was some type of tension because of his looks or that it was a motiviation for his crusifixion.

WHERE DOES THE BIRTH OF JESUS TAKE PLACE ?

WHY WOULD HE BE ANTHING BUT "DARK" ?

Jerusalem. And the whole region had variety of skin tones. So assuming he was Dark or that all Jews of the region were dark is flawed.

We KNOW for sure, 101%, that he was not WHITE/EUROPEAN.

So yes, the RACISM started and was INVENTED by the WHITEMAN.

I guess these Egyptians from the same century as Jesus forgot to get the memo they were supposed to be dark.

Trust me, he KNOWS.

I guess he believes that showing 2 PICTURES of what are CLEARLY NOT WHITE people or EUROPEANS somehow CHANGES the FACT that EGYPT was a BLACK AFRICAN NATION.

I am well aware of the Macedon army. I am also aware that decriptions of lighter (comparatively) skin people existed since way before any Macedonian migration. Nor where they so influential as to change whole populations.

And by the way, Alexander went through Judea before Jesus as well. So such a claim would cut in both ways.

I'm sure there was other light skinned ppl around back then also but we're talking about the So called Middle East (Persian) which was once part of Africa . Africa which his prodomintly black.

Now during war time when soldiers come in raping the women and other ppl fleeing further south to get away it sure does change whole populations in a certain area.

Either way from a few documentaries I saw about the Nile Valley they say they made up that story Jesus from a black prophet who use to exist during those times. I believe them too because one thing history has shown us it that white people lie!

Sorry bub, but Persia was never predominantly Black. The cline got lighter the farther nort you got in Africa, while migrations of lighter people to the South and darker people to the north occured, prevalence has been about the same.

Now during war time when soldiers come in raping the women and other ppl fleeing further south to get away it sure does change whole populations in a certain area.
Sorry bub, but no evidence of Mass macedonian rape in any archives. And they do show images of Greek Egyptains as well. They do not look the same.

LOL. Yeah, and Afrocentrics don't lie at all. Not.

Again, as far as Jesus goes, we just don't know.
