Oh where do I begin. Cones appears to be nothing short of a Marxist.
First, I always go balistic when ANYONE tries to describe Jesus with certain physical characteristics, including blond hair and blue eyes. What do we know?...HE was descended from the tribe of Judah. Judah was ONE of the twelve tribes of ISRAEL! HE was a JEW! But then again, BTs hate Jews.
In order for any Gentile (NonJews, Black or otherwise) to profess Christianity, it truly takes submission and humility to do so. It is called DENYING oneself. Blacks who become or are true Christians do not make race an issue to themseleves....Jesus. But that goes with anyone who makes HIM front and center of their lives.
Lastly, in retrospect it is interesting that 1964 is around the time that both the Bible and prayer was removed from schools and Civil Rights leg was passed.
I made a couple of mistakes in my post 346
I was implying that we have NO physical description of Jesus, just His geneology, which means little in regards to physical traits.
Secondly, I should have been more clear that Jesus is THE issue of which true Black Christians are focused.
This will clarify my post (sometimes I type too fast)
