I care what race Jesus was because most Christians I know are racists and I love to point out to them that Jesus wasn't the light skinned blonde haired blue eyed European he's almost always depicted to be.
I know it will take about 10 seconds for the first racist so called Christians to attack me for what I've said here. The first question they're going to ask is this: "How do you know Jesus wasn't white? He could have been!"
They really hate to think even for a second that Jesus wasn't white.
Not all Christians are racists, but I sure have met a lot that are.
Then of course there's the question of whether or not Jesus even existed but that's a question for a different thread.
Racism is a sin, because all skin colors are equal members, of ONE human race, created by Yaheh God. Skin color only matters, to sinful peole. Have a nice day.
Yes. How would you know what god you are praying to if you didn’t know his race and how would you know he exists? Christianity prays to a white god that doesn’t exist in the Bible.
Absolutely not. Considering his alleged location he would not be considered "white" today, but, what difference does that make?? If I was a follower, I say, who cares?? I'm not and I still don't care.
I DO believe he existed, just not the son of a god.
I don't believe that's true. If you read and have read, everything I write or have written over my 83 years I think you will find I have used it off and on for many people and happenings.
Why is he the only historical figure you use the word "alleged" in reference to?
Nevermind that. Why are you referring to Jesus as a "historical figure" when there is no historical evidence he existed? Jesus is a story, not a person.

About 20 years after Josephus we have the Roman politicians Pliny and Tacitus, who held some of the highest offices of state at the beginning of the second century AD. From Tacitus we learn that Jesus was executed while Pontius Pilate was the Roman prefect in charge of Judaea (AD26-36) and Tiberius was emperor (AD14-37) – reports that fit with the timeframe of the gospels. Pliny contributes the information that, where he was governor in northern Turkey, Christians worshipped Christ as a god. Neither of them liked Christians – Pliny writes of their “pig-headed obstinacy” and Tacitus calls their religion a destructive superstition.
Did ancient writers discuss the existence of Jesus?
Strikingly, there was never any debate in the ancient world about whether Jesus of Nazareth was a historical figure. In the earliest literature of the Jewish Rabbis, Jesus was denounced as the illegitimate child of Mary and a sorcerer. Among pagans, the satirist Lucian and philosopher Celsus dismissed Jesus as a scoundrel, but we know of no one in the ancient world who questioned whether Jesus lived.
It shouldn't matter what race Jesus was. Race doesn't define how we are inside so it shouldn't matter. white doesn't mean your better than black and black doesn't mean your better than white. What matters is how you act inside. People should judge you on who you are inside not what you look like.
No He wasn't. Yeshua from the time of His birth, was a brown skinned Sephardic Jewish Person. You are showing, your lack of knowledge.
You really are ignorant aren't you? The Jewish race was originally black, but then they started mating with rhesus monkeys and became white. The black genes are still dormant in their DNA, which means that sometimes a Jew will start to turn black if the genes switch on for some reason. This is a genetic disease known as Judenistic Blackinitus. Jesus had this disease.

There was and is no Jewish race, dopey. Is there a Buddhist race? Is there a pagan race? Is there a Muslim race? And there's no Jewish race either. Somehow Jewish folklore has become entangled with history, and almost certainly that is a direct result of the spread of Christianity.
Do you hate all skin colors equally?........................................................................................................................................
Yes but that is quite beside the point. You are trying to find out if I am racist, and although I don't specifically hate any race of humans for than others, I do in fact hate the entire human race. Since humans are a race, that makes me racist. I am a big fat stinking racist. Sue me.

Jesus still loves you though. There's nothing you can do about it!!!! LOL!!!!
Gandalf is the one who turned you gay. He used to sneak into your room at night and call you a cheeky young hobbit before slowly sliding his hairy geriatric hand underneath the covers.
Jesus doesn't like the gays. You probably heard. Looks like you and Gandalf are going to be waiting a long time to get into heaven.
Fuck you right in the ass hole Nom. I am not gay, you are gay. I am going to cut you into bacon strips, fashion you into a hijab and offer you to a Muslim woman in exchange for sex.
Jewish people are not a race, they are an ethnity. All skin colors are equally beautiful members, of ONE human race, created by God. Skin color only matters, to a godless and immoral nation. Yeshua is the Answer, to racism. By the way, Yeshua is a brown skinned Sephardic Jewish Man, who is God, in Human Flesh. Have a very nice day.
