Let’s burst their bubble.
First, Jeffrey Shaun King is an American writer & civil rights activist. He is noted for his use of social media to promote the Black Lives Matter movement. He is ignorant and the article about Jesus is a racist screed. Below is a real description of Jesus:
DESCRIPTION OF JESUS
BY HIS CONTEMPORARY, PUBLIUS LENTULUS,WHO WAS THE PREDECESSOR OF PONTIUS PILATE AS GOVERNOR OF JUDEA
A man of noble stature and of very beautiful countenance, in which such majesty resides that those who look on him are forced to admire him.
His hair is of the color of a fully ripe chestnut(i.e. Red Hair), and from his ear down his shoulders it is of the color of the earth, but shining. It is parted in the middle of his forehead, after the manner of the Nazarenes.
His forehead is smooth and very serene, his face free from wrinkle and spot, and with a slight color.
The nostrils and lips cannot reasonably be found fault with.
The beard is thick, and, like the hair, not very long, and divided in the middle.
There is a look of terror in his grave eyes. The eyes are like the rays of the sun, and it is impossible to look him steadily in the face on account of their brilliancy.
When he reproves, he terrifies; when he admonishes, he weeps. He makes himself loved, and is gravely cheerful. It is said that he was never seen to laugh, but he was seen to weep.
His hands and arms are very beautiful.
In conversation he is charming, but he seldom engages in it; and when he does converse, he is very modest of countenance.
In presence he is the most beautiful man that could be seen or imagined; just like his mother, who is the most beautiful young person that was ever beheld in these parts.
In learning he is an object of wonder to the entire city of Jerusalem. He never studied at all, and yet he knows all sciences.
He wears sandals, and goes bareheaded. Many laugh at seeing him; but in his presence, and when speaking to him, they fear and tremble.
It is said that such a man was never seen or heard in these parts. In truth, as the Hebrews tell me, there never were heard such advices, such sublime doctrine as this Christ teaches; and many of the Jews hold him for divine, and they believe in him, while many others accuse him to me as being contrary to thy majesty.
It is acknowledged that he has never done harm to anyone, but good. All that know him and have had dealings with him, say that they have received from him benefits and health.

The foregoing description is condensed from a letter written by Publius Lentulus, then Governor of Judea, to Tiberius Caesar, Emperor of the Romans.
Not only did Lentulus describe Jesus with Red hair, but a painting done by Hannan just prior to Jesus’ crucifixion, showed Jesus with Red Hair. Known as the Image of Edessa, all future paintings of Jesus were based on that rendition. Hannan was an envoy of King Abgar of Edessa. Coins were minted using that painting as the model. That painting is known as The “Mandylion.â€
And if you care to believe the readings of Edgar Cayce, he
described Jesus with red hair and piercing blue eyes, steel blue eyes.
So the depictions of Jesus with brown hair are wrong, but he didn’t have Black hair. He had Red Hair, and people with Red Hair have white skin, and I don’t think we are talking about a dye job 2000 years ago.
