@KidStranglehold already did a thread on Africans in the Levant http://www.thecoli.com/threads/the-levant-an-extension-of-africa-lets-take-a-look-shall-we.255052/
I pointed out the beginning as well as today, as there is a decent sized population of Black people in the middle east today. There always has been. Not sure why you're trying to argue this?Why are you trying to connect what happened 75,000 years ago to what happened 2000 years ago?

Well his argument was that Jesus (who I doubt even existed) was probably semetic brown and not Black African (not sure what that means). And my argument is that there have always been "Black Africans" in the middle east. To which he says then why are there so few now. Etc etc.Outta curiosity (and to avoid going through several pages of back and forthing) what are you both arguing?
I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here. Have you been to Africa? What exactly is "Black" to you? Is it a term to describe a group of people (if so, whom?) Or is it just a color?That doesn't make the Israelites black.
If everybody in that area was black at that time it would be more evident in the population today. It is not. I'm only using Arab as an example because too many people are used to the image of a white Jew.
At my last job I had this Yemeni Jew as a client, dude was damn near my complexion with black wavy hair. He didn't look "black" though, he just looked like a middle Easterner...which is what Jesus was anyway.

Thank you my friend.
But seriously, why you coli nikkas debating whether or not Jesus is or isn't a black man? It dose not matter if he's black, white, blue, green, yellow. As long as you believe in him and accept him as your personal lord and savior, you're Gucci.
I believe that Jesus is GOD that walked this earth. Some of the thing's I read about Jesus is impossible, and I believe he IS GOD.
I mean we were once kings (black decedents) in Egypt, until God harden Pharaoh's heart.
Point is it does not matter bruh's. If you belive in him, that's all that matter. If you don't then hey good luck to you my friend.
So I guess then, assuming that you believe in Israelites of the Bible, the 66 who emerged as 2 million people in Egypt some 6000 years ago, what "color" do you think they were and how did it happen?Black is just a color. I'm only using it here in the cultural context of how we associate it with people who are directly descended from the "black" populations of Africa. What constitutes being "black" isn't cut and dry though, and the numerous discussions that take place on the coli is proof of that.

Of course it is. You're live in a country for hundreds of years where everyone is jet Black (and likely you are as well)...well? What do you think the combination of Black and Black (or Brown and Black) nets you?I think they were all brown. Is that really up for debate?
