I haven't seen the movie but I read that the actor who played Jesus was specifically chosen for his semitic looks, including brown eyes.

[Jerry_M]

I think that Kenya Kimbrough is confusing Nazareth with Nazarite (sometimes spelled Nazirite). It was those who took a Nazarite vow who didn't cut their hair, not those who lived in Nazareth.

Hey, Kenya, or Kwanzaa, or Ethiopia, or Noxzema, or whatever the hell your name is - shove your whiny Afrocentric propaganda up your keister. You bore me.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Mouhammad according to Kenya

[ptavares]

When "I" saw the Passion of Christ the man that played Jesus had BROWN eyes,,,are you sure you even saw this MOVIE or like most of the people that have a problem with this Movie you've never seen it....

[GreyFriar]

Since Cleopatra was a Ptolmey, thus Greek, it is highly unlikely that she was from black african stock. The Ptolmey's had been ruling Egypt for several hundred years before Cleopatra.

Kenya is just doing the black origin of everything bit.

[Shermy]

We survived the truth about Santa.

Don't tell her about the Easter Bunny. Could be the last straw.

[Argus]

Besides, everybody knows Jesus was really Irish.

[jwalsh07]

Boy, is God gonna be mad at Mel now.

[Sans-Culotte]

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?

And Cleopatra was descended from one of Alexander's Greek/Macedonian generals (Ptolemy), and the Ptolemeian dynasty primarily inter-married as well.

[RightWhale]

Nazareth, Jesus’ hometown, was populated by men who wore dreadlocks and never cut their hair.

Was there a Nazareth in those days?

[Faraday]

William Wallace was a black man, too. As was Albert Einstein.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

YAWWWWN. What is the difference between a Klansman and a Black Supremicists?

Dunno.

I know the only thing they see is "color" and constantly whine about being victims.

[Migraine]

Tinseltown is not run by historians but rich actors.

And the Nation of Islam is not run by historians, but by clowns. The black studies programs of this country are a joke. Very chauvinistic. 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? How did they lose all those cutting-edge proclivities? Why can't the continent with every known resource even feed, house and clothe its people (much less take a role in world leadership -- and don't try to tell me Kofi Annan is a leader)? I grow very tired of agenda revisionism like this.

It's almost as if some people think that if they can make Jesus black, that would make their lives better somehow. I think Jesus saw to it that we would not know what He looked like lest it become an issue. Some people manage to make it an issue anyway.

[FormerLib]

Cleopatra was a Ptolemy and they were Greek.

Ok, some Greeks are dark but Black? Sorry, no.

[hellinahandcart]

Gibson sparked the Second Coming by placing Jesus outside of the "church,"

Say what?

and we finally get to openly talk about him as a black man on Earth and not some figment of our imagination.

If that's how you want to occupy yourself during the Second Coming, knock yourself out...

[Inyokern]

Nazareth, Jesus’ hometown, was populated by men who wore dreadlocks and never cut their hair.

There is utterly no evidence of that whatsoever.

Nazarene is from nazar, meaning "unshorn."

No it isn't. Unshorn is nazir. Nazareth (Natzrat) means the place of the guard station. Nazarene (nazoraios) probably does not come from either of those words.

[lawdude]

OK, its official. Gibson is a lout, a racist, a heathen, a Jew hater and the end of the world is near!

I am going into hiding and will turn into a mushroom.
