Why the hell do y'all think Jesus was white??? lol?

And even out of all of you who would answer "I don't, I know that he's not white," you have to admit, when you think of Jesus in your head, he's a tall white guy, isn't he? Isn't that interesting?

    Everyone knows that Jesus was Italian. Look at all the paintings during the Renaissance for proof. Jews are not all white 'Nous'. Clearly that is shown in Ethiopian Jews. Some Jews are white, some are tanned and some are black. Jesus should transcend skin color in the end. Isn't that the point?

    I looked this up once. Jesus started out as a middle eastern then slowly evolved into a white guy. It probably has to do with people wanting Jesus to be like them. God is always on the religious people's side. So, they probably wanted him to side with them on racism too. Jesus couldn't do that if he wasn't of the same race as the religious people.

    Why would you make assumptions about the views of hundreds of people you've never even talked to? You don't know that that is how anyone views Him unless you ask them right out. Obviously Jesus wasn't "white"; He looked like a Jewish middle eastern guy with pit stains and dirty feet and simple clothes.

    You obviously do not read the bible!

    Jesus, Joseph and Mary are described as Jews.

    The Jewish race is classified as white and interracial marriage was unheard of in those days!

    There is no place in religion for racism!

    Jesus was the stock of Abraham a Jew not a white man. He was also the LORD God of Heaven and Earth.

    Jesus was Jewish, which is why you picture him as a white man.

    I don't. I don't pretend to know what skin color Jesus has nor do I picture Him in my head.

    That 's an awful lot of conclusions to jump to.

    Personally, I think: "none of the above".
