I know just about everyone here believes Jesus, the Israelites, and all other Biblical characters like King Solomon and King David were black. But what about all of the archangels? Were they too? Anyone got any proof or ideas?

If there were proof angels everybody on the planet would be a christian lol. Since there is no proof in mythical creatures, how can there be proof about their colour?
You can't compare with an actual historical human being king like Solomon.

Not sure about the angels but im certain Jesus's donkey was from Barbados, plus the 3 wise men were most certainly Rastamen. The gifts they bought were Tye Stick, Sensimellia, and Skunk weed.

The NWBN's say that the Elohim were black and of a certain body/facial structure if that helps, I'm not a NWBN but its interesting. As the people who originated those religion/s were Black its a given that they would portray their deities/angels and arch angels as being so.

.lol. Really?
What if they could prove it to you but would rather not have people being self dependent, rather have them relying on the church and going to work 9 - 5 as though theres nothing else to life except what you see in front of you?
Angels and Archangels could be described as forces in nature with certain aspects and personalities given to them, Demons are simply negative forces with personalities given to them. King Solomon was of course a swarthy magician who called on demons and angels to help build his temple.
Black Lion is... Agu Bu Oji in Igbo, Simba nyeusi in Swahili, the name of a hospital in Addis Adaba the capital of Ethiopia.

Kind of funny how when one of us tries to dispell the others 'religion' a matter pops up that questions our own. The kinship of the believers of islam and Christianity is as close as you can get. But the fundamental doctrine makes it impossible to be able to meld together.
YAHWEH says two can not walk together less they are in agreement. walking together in this context means eons more that striding down a path side by side in idle chatter.
I have been criticized by Christians on this and other forums who say that I embrace the devil by engaging in dialogue with them. I dare say that there is a danger to a person who is not confident in what he is and Who's he is. I will further say that I am as dogmatically narrowminded as can be when it comes to my faith.
Why, because of the importance of the mission that has been impressed upon me not by a preacher, a priest, a deacon...but the Word of God as given in the Holy Writ. That mission is to share the Word of Life through Jesus Christ to a dying world who will refuse to believe, hate me, even try to kill me not because I hate them, or try to kill them but because of the Love of God that is in me.
When in 1974 I set out to prove that Christianity and the Bible was just jibberish and foolishness and that I needed nothing but my own strength. I did run into NOI in Oakland, Ca. I saw brainwashed lads selling bean pies in the streets in bow ties. I saw nothing but black pimping as always just like the baptist church. It all sickened me. I had a young cousin who was brain washed by farakan and by talking to hm and trying to reason and find a reason to join NOI I found that it was better to remain without. I sought after a spiritual meaning in life in yoga, I went to Escalon on the central coast of California south of Big Sur, I went into nature with American Indians and peyote, mescalin with the mexicans, lsd with the hippies...
I hooked up with a bare footed rasta in San Francisco. I got hooked up also with a Jamaican periodical called "hallelujah Tymes". My next stop was Jamaica. I went home to visit my grandmother and parents before leaving. My grandmother told me that if i went to the wilderness I would be killed. She told me what I had sought for I had all along and that all my answers were in the Bible. She gave me my grandfathers King James Thompson with all his notes and scribblings. I entered it as an atheist. The rest is history and to the glory of God.
My friends call me what you may. I am set and firmly planted in Jesus Christ. I don't know His color, He has never impressed it upon me to recognize.
Here is wisdom.
The one thing that really impressed me with Christianity and Christ as Ghandi said before I came to the realization that I needed Christ was the fact of how Christ asked us to see our enemy. The 'absurdity' of loving your enemy made me press on in studying Christianity. I wanted to know how anyone not only could teach such but also why anyone would fall prey to such a weakness. That was over 30 years ago.
I was a treacherous man up to then and fearless in my ignorance. I am even more fearless now and would give my life even for you abd. That is right, under the right circumstances even knowing that you are a muslim, me a Christian would make every attempt to protect or save you or your's within reason.
Being asked to love my enemies is the bait i took to step into the 'enclave' of Christianity abd..et al.
I have heard people say some terrible things about Jesus and Jehovah God. Does it anger me, of course, but it does not cause me to loose focus on what the priority is. God and Jesus can and will settle things when judgement comes. like it says in the bible, we will have to give in account of every idle word uttered, and not only the things we did in this life but also the things we ought to have done and left undone.
The cruxifiction pointed out two things about God. (1) His hatred for sin and (2) His love for mankind.
Most of this had nothing to do with angels, but it inspired me and in the case of angels, does not the koran and most other 'religions' have divine and evil supernatural beings?
