I would put money on it that Jesus was not white like me. No no.
Wright and his mansion in a white neighborhood is hypocritical. He lives one way and preaches another.
Ben, he does get paid for his public speaking and he get a salary from his church. I can't say if he gets his income the wrong way. He's entitled to make good money just like anyone else, but his message isn't what I would want or expect from a clergy.
The Bible is colour-blind with regards to Jesus ..... No, no
Zia, my understanding is that the church is building this mansion as a gift to reverend wright.
Well Benny Boy, that would depend on how your define "color-blind" and BTW.... learn how to spell.
The Bible give a description of what Jesus looked like. Just like everything else, it's up to interpretation. There are still tribes/groups of Jews that are black in Israel. He could have been black or a very dark Arab looking guy. It doesn't make sense that he would be a Caucasian as the artist portrayals have it.
Arabs are of the Caucasian race, as are Semitic Jews.
The black Jews in Israel are chiefly Ethiopian immigrants.

Thank you myron for the racial history. However, Arabs are not always classified as Caucasian due to the varying 'whiteness' of skin color.
My point about "color-blindness" remains the same.

My previous comment of "okay" was to Ben but I have no idea what I was okaying now. Oh, yeah.... teaching me how to spell.
Now that Hillary took the brave step of breaking new ground and wowing everyone with her performance on the Bill O'Reilly show, today O'Bumma said he'd try to fit it in (an interview with Bill).
