The fear of Black skin by some whites and some blacks

I have seen white people who are as pale as a glass of milk, yet I have never heard someone white talk about how white and pale another Caucasion is. Yet I have heard a few whites as well as some blacks talk about how dark an athletic, model or celebrity is.

Some of you may be to young to remember how Negros in college sororities in the 50"s and 60's would be given the manila envelope test. If you were darker than the manila envelope then you couldn't get in.  A recent report by John Stossel on ABC 2020 showed that many producers of music videos primarily select light skin black females to be the devia's and dark skin girls to be the hoochies. On this segment, young black boys indicated their preference for light skin girsl. Our kids are to young to realize that they are the victims of brain washing. Ask the average African American teenage boy to describe a beautiful girl and you will see what I'm talking about. By having so few Beautiful dark and brown skin Black women who are displayed as beautiful in magazines ,commercials and movies, this allows someone else to impose their standard of beauty on you.What makes it worse is that so many Black men have bought into it...what do you think?

The Black Church And Some Ministers Who Lead Us Astray

As I've traveled across the US in recent years, visiting most inner city Black communities, the only new construction I see are Black Churches surrounded by run down neighborhoods. Yes there are exceptions, but there are few. I don't see new housing, retail stores, new play grounds. Don't these ministers think that the same financing that builds a church can be extended to these other services.  As I flip the channel on Sunday morning , I see more Black preachers in custom made suits, but few are talking about how we improve the economic, educational or physical condition of Black people. Many talk about what we must do to save our souls but even fewer talk about saving our children, our communities and ourselves with a real plan of action.

Black Nazarene Celebration January 9, 2008

Tens of thousands barefoot Filipino Catholic devotees jostled for a chance to touch a black statue of Jesus in an annual procession Wednesday, seeking blessings or forgiveness for their sins.

About 700 police secured the square outside a church in the downtown Quiapo district, where plainclothes officers pulled a cart carrying a replica of the 401-year-old statue of the Black Nazarene amid a sea of devotees. Again, I find it interesting that despite other cultures embracing the truth, the European image of Christ still prevails. There is conflict even among Filipinos.

Black Madonna Statues Are Hidden To Hide the Truth

The most sacred icons of the Catholic Church are the Black Madonna and Christ child, which are found in Europe's most venerated shrines and cathedrals. Each year, millions of European pilgrims ritually humble themselves before the image of Black Mary and her child Jesus at Black Madonna sites throughout France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and other Catholic countries. Many Black Madonna statues have the black paint literally kissed off of their hands and feet. In Poland, the Church encourages believers to pray to the Black Madonna of Czestochowa every morning before rising. It is reported that Pope John Paul follows this ritual. Time Magazine (June 11, 1979) reported on Pope Paul II's visit to Czestochowa's holiest shrine, which prominently displays "The Lady" known for centuries as the Black Madonna. At Our Lady of Koden (Poland), there are statues of white saints carrying pictures of Black Madonnas. Pilgrims throughout the ages have visited Black Madonna sites and left inspired, confident, relieved, or healed of their afflictions. Today, there are over 300 documented Black Madonna sites in France alone!1 Sometimes they are hidden away in vaults, while the public is shown Madonnas with European features

We All Come From The Same African Parents

I came across this very insightfull article in all places The Conservative Voice about we as humans being different variations in color and ethnicity coming from the same ancestral parent.

Here's an excerpt:

The Racist German Shepard And Bull Dog

As I was walking down the road the other day I overheard a German Shepherd talking to a bull dog. I over-heard the German Shepherd saying to the bull dog "You can't possibly be a dog because you don't look like me! Why, just look at your flat nose and jaw, your round head, your stumpy neck, and short legs. You look more like a cat than you do a dog! Hey, is that your nose or your mouth? Hahahaha! Do you grow the ugly nappy hair that poodles have? How can anything that looks like you have the soul, intelligence, and feelings of a dog? Who gave you the right to be called a dog? Get out of my sight you ugly looking thing!"

I mention the above illustration to make a point to those who harbor racism. I hope that you will repent of your sin of racism, which is a great sin against God Who created all men in His image and has commanded all men to love one another, and that you will receive the love and forgiveness of God which is in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior Who paid the penalty for all our sins through His death and shedding of His blood on the Cross of Calvary and Who rose again from the dead to give us eternal life.

Here's another excerpt....

Young people, and even adults, often wonder how all the varieties or "races" of people could come from the same original human ancestors. Well, in principle, that's no different than asking how children with different color hair ( i.e., blond, brunette, brown, red ) can come from the same parents who both have black hair.

Just as some individuals today carry genes to produce descendants with different color hair and eyes, humanity's first parents, Adam and Eve, possessed genes to produce all the variety and races of men. You and I today may not carry the genes to produce every variety or race of humans, but humanity's first parents did possess such genes.

All varieties of humans carry genes for the same basic traits, but not all humans carry every possible variation of those genes. For example, one person may be carrying several variations of the gene for eye color ( i.e., brown, green, blue ) , but someone else may be carrying only one variation of the gene for eye color ( i.e., brown ). Thus, both will have different abilities to affect the eye color of their offspring.

Some parents with black hair, for example, are capable of producing children with blond hair, but their blond children (because they inherit only recessive genes) will not have the ability to produce children with black hair unless they mate with someone else who has black hair. If the blond descendants only mate with other blondes then the entire line and population will only be blond even though the original ancestor was black-haired.

In reality there is only one race - the human race - within which exists myriad variations and permutations. Just as you can get a pure bred from a mutt but not a mutt from a pure bred, so too all varieties of humans were able to come from Adam and Eve our first parents.

All varieties of humans belong to one natural species since all varieties of human beings are inter-fertile, and this is biological proof that we are all descendants of a common human ancestor. This is why the Bible says that God "hath made of one all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth ..." (Acts 17:26, KJV). The Bible clearly teaches that God created all human beings in His image. Therefore, as one of my former pastors, Dr. Carl E. Abrahamsen, Jr., so truthfully and eloquently stated, to hate a fellow human being who has been created in the image of God because of the way he or she looks is a great and serious sin and offense against God which needs to be confessed and repented of before the Almighty.

Is Jesus Black?-Listen To The Biblical Proof.

"His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters." (Rev. 1:14 and 1:15)

"His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude." (Daniel 10:6)

Only Racists Would Deny The Truth! #4

The Scientific Facts Are Overwhelming. #5

In the first place, there is indeed a physical description of the risen, glorified and exalted Jesus in Revelation chapter one, verses 12 to 18. The language is understandably full of similes and metaphors but careful examination of such descriptions as: "feet like bronze" and "white, woolly hair" suggest that Jesus had coloured skin and hair of possibly Negroid texture. This fact alone does not prove the ethnic origin or physical appearances of the Christ.

However, there are other biblical evidences of his possible ethnic origin. The most convincing proof of the Negroid ethnic origin of Jesus is found in the Bible genealogies and Israelitish history. Matthew chapter 1, verses 1-17, painstakingly traces the ancestors of Jesus back to Kings Solomon and David and to the harlot Rahab, all of whom are previously mentioned in the Pentateuch, Kings and Chronicles as being of Hamitic/African descent.

With a little diligent study of the Bible texts, using concordances and Greek and Hebrew word studies and other references, the average Jamaican churchgoer can see clearly that the Bible does present a Jesus of African origins.  Another point to ponder is that when Jesus was about two or three years old and King Herod wanted to kill him, God commanded his parents to hide him in Africa. In Egypt, to be exact. Could a blond-haired, blue-eyed Jesus hide well among dark-skinned Africans? Those theologians and clergymen who want to counter this point try to break off Egypt from Africa and even claim that prominent church fathers like St. Augustine were Caucasians even though they were born and raised in Africa.

Black Liberation Theology- Is it Anti White?

    At issue is not whether Reverend Wright is racist or patriotic or not. For those who say that they are Christian and have a close relationship with Jesus, I pose this question? Now that you finally know the truth about who Jesus was and what he really looked like , will you still deny the truth in the face of  overwhelming biblical and scientific facts? The media would have you believe that Black Liberation Theology is anti white. When at its core , it is pro equality, pro fairness , pro justice ,  pro Christianity and pro Truth. If anyone calls themselves a true Chritian and a believer in Christ, then shouldn't they support these same beliefs? I think the real question that many white christians and their ministers should be asking themselves is "If we call ourselves true believers and followers of Christ, why do we continue to deny the truth?"  And what does this denial have to do with our justifying , overlooking and accepting the racist behavior and attitudes of some fellow Christians.

Lynchings-Knooses- John Cone- Bill Moyer's Journal

With the noose and the lynching tree entering the national discussion in the wake of recent news events, Bill Moyers interviews theologian James Cone about how these powerful images relate to the symbol of the cross and how they signify both tragedy and triumph. Lynching is buried so deeply in the American psyche that rarely does anyone bring it front and center. Our silence on it is one reason we have so much difficulty coming to terms with race in America. Bill Moyer says " I'm reluctant to raise it even now, because it's anything but a comfortable subject for television. But I went online not long ago and listened to a speech at Harvard University that I simply can't forget and I wanted you to meet the man who delivered it.

Theologian John Cone explains the connection between Jesus' Crucifiction and lynchings.

Gospel Music Lyrics

Although Gospel Music is now performed all over the world by all nationalities, its roots come from slavery. It was through Gospel music that Black people were able to share their feelings, emotions and connections with God. But who are the founding fathers of Gospel?  Where did it all start?  A look at two founding fathers of the Gospel music : Charles Albert Tindley (1851-1933), and Thomas Andrew Dorsey (1899-1993).
