Was Jesus a black man or white man?
In Times Square and in other locations, there is a group of people called 12 Tribes and they take a very literal sense of the bible. There is often a preacher giving sermon, a reader, reading verses as espoused by the preacher, and occassionally a camera man. They preach some hatred most of the time, heckling passersby that are not black or chosen people. Sometimes I see their show on public access.

Quote:
We are the Biblical Israelites, our goal is to spread the true Gospel and prepare our people for the second coming of Jesus Christ as it is written in Matthew chapter 10, Verses 6-7: "But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach saying The Kingdom of heaven is at hand."
The brothers at 12 Tribes of Israel do not make claims or give opinions which cannot be substantiated in the Biblical text. According to the books of Deuteronomy 28:15-68 and II Esdras 13:40-46, all those whose forefathers are of so called Negro, Indian, and Latin American descent; scattered throughout North, Central, South America and the four corners of the earth, make up the 12 Tribes of the Nation of Israel. We are here to bring out the TRUTH to the world, and destroy the lies that have been taught for ages.
We teach the Bible as it is written in Isaiah 28:10, "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little." In other words, as it is written in Psalms 40:7 and Hebrews 10:7, the Bible is the written word of God and it is Jesus Christ who gave us Commandment upon Commandment and Law upon Law to observe and keep.

Having studied the bible at great length I am not convinced that Jesus looks like any of those friezes that are in most churches. If he was a jewish man from Israel, then he would look similarly to those that have been living in that area for generations.
