“We three kings of Orient are”, now two kings from the East and one from Africa. The Bible clearly says from the East so I have no idea why for the last 40 years they have always had a Black one.

If James Bond can be black, why not the Three Kings?

If they saw black people wearing blackface at the Zulu parade on Mardi Gras day, their heads would explode.

My Bible, in Luke 2, says merely that “magi from the east” came to Jerusalem seeking Jesus. It doesn’t give their names, describe their skin color or say how many there were.

If it's ok for Hollyweird's biggest liberals to dress up in black face, why isn't ok for everyone else? Oh yeah, I forgot all about liberal hypocrisy.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, not even a Spaniel,but the citizens of Spain have always been known to prize the whiteness of their complections. It may go back as far as saying pale skin was an indicator of how much time you had to spend in the sun to make a living. This elitist attitude goes way back. When enough big business owners want it to change,it will.

The Bible doesn’t give the number, name or skin color. They came from the east. We might suppose this meant from Persia. We might also think Daniel shared prophesies of the time of the coming of the Messiah, and that the Star would guide them to the place.

It is possible the Magi were a diverse group. The advanced state of scientific knowledge, especially astronomy, could have attracted others. So, perhaps one was Caucasian (a Persian), another Mongolian and a third Negroid. Early depictions of the Magi had them be Persians. But, later depictions featured a racially-diverse group.

The real “proof” of the Magi being diverse is the universality of the Christian message. We know in our heart that it would please God that his son would be welcomed into the world by representatives of the entire human race, and by simple shepherds as well as by wise men.
