There are things in life that most people know to be truths but they go unsaid because of political correctness or the negative results that might come afterwards. The reason that many Black movies (and TV shows) with good themes won't get made is because the majority of the audience is white and won't watch Blacks in lead roles unless it's comedy, sports or gangsta. It could be thought of as racism and it is but it's actually about money. Box office determines what movies will be made. Ratings determines what TV shows will be produced. And this is white driven. We all know this is true but you'll never see it talked about in Entertainment Magazine or on any mainstream entertainment programming.
What other things in life you know are truths but won't be discussed in the mainstream because of the repercussions behind them??

Be it movies or religion, why would any person promote an image of leadership that doesn't reflect their own race. Have no problem with people promoting their own, that's human indeed animal nature.
This idea of earning stripes for doing what should be natural is a sign of our inferiority complex. As Chris Rock said about the brotha declaring he looks after his children as if that's something alien when surely you're supposed toconfused2

JESUS WAS A AFRICAN MAN
ST PAUL WAS A LIAR
TITANIC WAS A CRAP FILM.
THOSE PEOPLE LIVING IN NORTHERN AFRICA ARE NOT AFRICANS.

JESUS WAS A AFRICAN MAN
No, Jesuswas middle-Eastern - there's a difference. He would not have looked like a white European or ablackAfrican.
ST PAUL WAS A LIAR
Why?
TITANIC WAS A CRAP FILM.
So what - there are plenty of crap films. I'd like to see you direct one that grosses over $1 billion worldwide though.
THOSE PEOPLE LIVING IN NORTHERN AFRICA ARE NOT AFRICANS.
Once again, who cares? Unless you are prepared to launch a genocidal war against all those in Africa who don't fit your "true African" criteria, why not just leave them alone? Jews aren't really European - but Hitler would have done well toleave them alone and help his own people.

BULL CRAP THE BIBLE GIVES A DESCRIPTION OF JESUS/YESUAH IN REVELATIONS 1:12-14, DANIEL 7:9, DANIEL 10;6 HE WAS AN AFRIKAN NOT SUM MIDDLE EASTERN GEEZER.
WHY WOULDN'T HE HAVE LOOKED LIKE AN AFRIKAN, BECAUSE YOUR PHONEY PASTER TOLD YOU SO?

^^^^ "Oh really, so the exact words in the bible are that Jesus was:
"WAS AN AFRIKAN NOT SUM MIDDLE EASTERN GEEZER".
Wishful thinking.
There is not a single biblical description of Jesus that refers explicitly to race.
In other words, we'll probably never know. That said, common sense tells us thatJesus woud not have looked black OR white - he would have looked middle-Eastern.
Get over it.

Oh, I see the error of my ways now.
After all, the statement that Jesus had "hair like wool, feet like burned brass" is categoric proof that he was a sub-Saharan African.
I suppose you find further proof that he was black in the fact that he called people "brother"?
Think what you like, you are entitled to your opinion. White people seem to think that he had blonde hair and blue eyes, while black people claim Jesus was black (how convenient for both groups).
Whichever version suits your ego.

I don't know whether to laugh
or cry
To think of all of the issues we could concern ourselves with! The fundamentalissues we could delve into with passion and doggeddetermination!..............and what do we get?
Two people getting hot and bothered arguing about the colour of Jesus!
Is there no hope for the world?
Respect
Remember!
You are more likely to get what you deserve rather than what you want.
Make sure you DESERVE the things you want!

iknow this is a bit clique now but I think His message is more important than His race..
icant say for sure what race Jesus was but experts, both white and black are in agreement he wasnt white.I dont blame white people for portraying Jesus as thier race, its only natural.

In front of Europeans I can't say that Jesus was African, and in front of Africans I can't say Jesus was Indo-European. The reality of the matter is that he was neither...more like a typical Arab. There are millions of Arabs with brown skin and wooly hair who are not African at all.
Proof Jesus, or even the Hebrews, were NOT African people is in this verse
Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. ~Acts 13:1
Fact of the matter is that Simeon would not have been singled out for being a "Niger" (the Latin/Roman term at the time to denotepeople of African descent or Blacks throughout the Roman empire) if the Hebrews were African people themselves. It would have been an ambiguous distinction, well, in fact not a distinction at all.
Here is another example referring to Ethiopians...
Can the Ethiopian change his skinOr the leopard his spots? Then you also can do good Who are accustomed to doing evil. ~Jeremiah 13:23
If the Hebrew were African people, then they would not speak with about such peculiarity as Ethiopian skin (which we all know is dark compared to Semites and Europeans). So the point here, since I am on an African Forum, that Icertainly can't say Jesus wasn't "Black" even though it is the truth.
