@harry brown your poetry tends to be optimistic., but here you've out-cyniced @Cynique What happened?

If you look at the history of Black people the last few hundred years compared the the previous few thousand is just a bum in the road relatively speaking. The question of Jesus' complexion historically is clearly that of a Black person. His complexion from a religious perspective is a completely question, because religions are made made, so Jesus can have long blond hair and blue eyes. In much the same way I don't like commingling science and religion, I don't confuse history with religion either. Sure there may be some overlap with history and some religions. Trying to shoehorn religion into science and history kinda misses the point of religion...

Why did "god" allow the "chosen" black people to fall so far from grace? And, just what is the exact color of "black" as applied to the complexion of humans? Egyptian hieroglyphics show them to actually be the color "brown" as we know it. What ever the perception, all down through the ages "blacks" have been conquered, victimized and degraded on up unto this day. What glory they acquired had no longevity as evidenced by their becoming entrenched at the bottom of the totem pole. Yet, blacks remain caught up in ancestor worship as a way to bolster their self worth. They are also still enslaved by a blind faith in a creator who seemingly has forsaken them. It's like "Jesus" is just an idea, and every group who accepts this idea as a path to "salvation" pictures the human personification of this idea to look like themselves cast as the hero of a scenario as told in books and tales written by men. Not surprising since religion is man-made. Human beings seem reluctant to consider that their divinity comes from within, and that establishing a connection with the universe will empower them. The wheel was Homo Sapiens first invention and it's appropriate that it has become a kind of metaphor of life wherein its many spokes represent paths to the axle of truth. Truth is reality if we can trust our eyes.

I'm late to this discussion, but would like to add the following. As for the complexion of Jesus, I submit that if you will have a look at the people in Egypt during the time of Jesus, you will note that they were black. There was even an article in National Geographic some years ago proving how the people of Egypt looked, The cover had a pic of a black Pharaoh on the cover to show how the people looked. Consider that. Okay, if God, in His Infinite Wisdom, sent Jesus into Egypt to hide him, then it stands to reason that Jesus had to be black. How else could Jesus be safe? You can't hide a giraffe among zebras. Additionally, Josephus, a historian of the times saw Jesus, and reported that he was a brotha. While we at it, what about Moses? Again, the Egyptians of the time of the captivity were black, so if Moses was adopted by Pharaoh, who was black and raised up in his household, Moses looked like them. Remember when Moses watered the flock for those women at the well he was mistook for an Egyptian. Why was this? Because Moses was black. What about Joseph. His brothers sold him into slavery. Well, they actually threw him into well where he was discovered and sold into Egypt as a slave. Years later when there was a famine in the land, Joseph's brothers came to Egypt to buy food. By now Joseph was second-in-command in Egypt, but his brothers did not recognize him f he had been white, he would have stood out like a sore thumb. The reason Joseph was not recognized by hi blood brothers was cause after living in Egypt, he had adopted their way of dress and lifestyle to the point that he looked like an Egyptian I could go on and on, but in a nutshell, the people of the Bible were black.
