Interesting article from the BBC.

Jesus has been named the top black icon by the New Nation newspaper. Their assertion that Jesus was black has raised eyebrows in some quarters - so what colour was he?


JC

Seems to me that he must have been at least olive skinned if not darker. As the article says believers show him in their own image, which seems about right as far as human nature is concerned. If it could be proven that JC was a man of colour, where would this leave the racists and bigots?
