The ancestors of the Judaeans (the Aramaeans) were a Caucasian people.

Yep.

Had someone tell me about the "racist" war in Afghanistan. I told him most people in Afghanistan were considered caucasian, and did he think we were racist towards white people.

“Jesus had “black hair like wool and skin of bronze color””

The Bible says neither of those things, but that doesn’t stop every dumb*** who watched “Malcolm X” from parroting it.

It’s a mangling of a verse from Revelation. That verse wasn’t even describing Jesus when he was a man on earth, it is describing a prophetic vision of the “Lamb of God” in heaven, and it says nothing about “black hair”, it just describes a lamb having wool and hooves... like lamb usually do.

No, the county level court in NY is the ‘Supreme Court’

One of the first things real Americans learn in law school.

The black militants misinterpret a verse from Revelation describing the “Lamb of God” in heaven as a description of Jesus as he was on earth...

But this still won’t stop the museum from possibly voluntarily removing the “offending” pieces anyway just to satisfy the grievance mongers...

There’s also the risk that some of those blm vermin may come in and vandalize them now as a result of this idiot and his frivolous lawsuit.

I think the only description we can get from the gospels is that from his appearance he was visibly Jewish to the woman at the well. So from his clothing and maybe his face he appeared Jewish however you want to interpret that.

When I was in Vietnam during the war, a black guy in my platoon regaled some others with a portrait he had of a “Black Jesus”. I mean, he was black-black, to which I commented, “Okay. So?”, and just drew a momentary blank stare before they went back to their celebration.

“Some Children See Him”

Some children see Him lily white,
The baby Jesus born this night.
Some children see Him lily white,
With tresses soft and fair.
Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
The Lord of heav’n to earth come down.
Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
With dark and heavy hair.

Some children see Him almond-eyed,
This Savior whom we kneel beside.
Some children see Him almond-eyed,
With skin of yellow hue.
Some children see Him dark as they,
Sweet Mary’s Son to whom we pray.
Some children see him dark as they,
And, ah! they love Him, too!

The children in each different place
Will see the baby Jesus’ face
Like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace,
And filled with holy light.
O lay aside each earthly thing
And with thy heart as offering,
Come worship now the infant King.
‘Tis love that’s born tonight!

Jesus was a blue eyed blonde and so was Mary, based on descriptions of them from ancient texts before there were any agendas

Pilate’s letter describing Jesus to Caesar is part of the US Congressional Record
