I can't believe this entire forum has gone by without anyone praising the mighty works of Kevin Smith! Recall that in Dogma, Jesus was indeed black and God also a woman.
In reality, I think that Jesus was probably not black but rather Arabian/Jewish as many other people on this thread have said before me. I agree with Macheath that most Jesus pictures look way too pretty (case in point, I once found a picture in a church that me and my friends called "Drag Queen Jesus" because the man seriously looked like he was wearing lipstick and mascara). Scriptures in Isaiah that supposedly refer to Jesus actually describe him as being quite ugly and unappealing.
