re: I heard one of those Black Israelite nutcases-with-bullhorns claim that "semite" derived from "semi", and that proved that all the Jews were at least half black.)))

No one knows what he looks like anyway. Interestingly, I ran across this in an Art History textbook which had a discussion of why early artists painted Jesus the way they did. It's conviently left out of all of these "what did Jesus look like" articles. The following description comes from Pubulius Lentulus, an associate of Pontius Pilate,
"In this time appeared a man endowed with great powers. His name is Jesus, and his disciples call him the son of God. This Jesus is of noble and well-porportioned stature,with a face full of kindness, and yet firmness, so that beholders both love and fear him.
His hair is the color of wine, straight and without lusture, but from the level of the ears curling and flossy. His forehead is even and smooth, his face without blemish, and enhanced by a tempered bloom, his countenance ingenuous and kind.
His nose and mouth are in no way faulty. His beard is full, of the same color as his hair; his eyes blue and extremely brilliant. ...
His person is tall, his hands beautiful and straight. In speaking he is deliberate and grave, with little given to loquacity; in beauty surpassing most men".

Nazarene is from nazar, meaning "unshorn." The next time you see a dreadlocked youth walking down the street, rebelling against society wearing baggy pants and shoes untied, then just think that todays Jesus might look like him. Huh? Yes Nazar means "unshorn", but it most certainly does not mean "unshorn dreadlocks". Why doesnt she film her own movie and cast Ziggy Marley as Jesus, and see how many people go and see it.

Gibson inaccurately depicts Jesus as European, with straight hair and blue eyes.Yeah! Right!
Wanta know something even worse?
Those wounds he had in the movie - FAKE! It was all make-up. They weren't real!
Ash Wednesday was Feb. 25th and it is still being attacked on any and all levels.
From my 88 year old Mother who was interviewed by a newspaper reporter as she came out of the theater on Ash Wednesday evening. Obviously the interviewer thought she might be appalled as a little old lady with two walking canes coming from the movie:
"Gibson was certainly truer to the gospels than Cecil B. DeMille was to the book of Exodus."
"Violent? Gory? Bloody? Well, it was a crucifixion. It wasn't supposed to be a festive occasion."
"All my conscious life I have recognized that it was a terrible thing that my Lord and Saviour had to endure for my sins because of His love for me. Thus it comes as no shock to me to view someone's depiction of those events in a movie. In fact, it was not quite as violent as I had imagined."
"Did I find anything about the movie disturbing?
"Yes, actually. The Latin dialect they used was not one with which I was familiar. I was able to follow it somewhat but I cringed when Pilate used the accusative case 'Ecce homo' instead of the nominative case 'Ecce hominem.' Other than that, it was quite well done."

Another of those articles that suggests everything great came from Africa. The funny thing is, why did so little of the civilization the Afrocentrists claim originated in Africa stay there? Were they only able to export greatness? Yep. If--as the infamous "Dr." Leonard Jeffries asserted--astronomy, higher mathematics, and engineering all arose from the dark continent and was STOLEN by The Man, how come the largest telescope is not in Kenya; why did no Africans protest when Newton and Leibnitz were sparring over who came up with Calculus first; how come the great engineers of Africa couldn't manage to bring running water to even 1% of its people?

The straight hair - big deal. Many Jews have straight hair. Some even have blue eyes. But frankly, I don't remember Jim's eyes being blue in the film. I remember them being brown. Am I wrong?

This contradicts the Bible.The one thing we do know is that he was not hansom.

The following description comes from Pubulius Lentulus, an associate of Pontius Pilate...Most scholars consider the Lentulus letter to be a fake, most likely from 13th Century Italy. Interesting that you say you found it in an art history book, since the general thinking is that the letter cribbed from older artists' guides on how to paint Jesus, evidentally to give them some illusion of authenticity

My question for these dopes is always: if blacks made such advancements in their storied past, if they could build the pyramids and fly around them, what happened to have made them so utterly clueless nowadays? The Nation of Islam has an answer for that too: Because the White Man is keeping them down. For the Black Man to achieve his true potential, the white race has to be exterminated.
