    Black people always going too far. The correct way of dealing with whitewashed history/mythology isn't to blackwash it. While some of the characters were likely black, the average Bible character didn't look like a member the local HBCU sororities and fraternities.

    Bbbbblack ppl alwaze takin thyngs 4 ? . Yyyyya yes they is.
    .
    The series, which will be fully released in October, features 70 models who identify as either Asian, Native American, Hispanic, African, Middle Eastern, Black American and West Indian.

    This is just more speculation

    We can't know for certain whether these people looked Arabic, East African, North African, or whatever else

    we can be certain they were not white. and it is a good bet they were dark skinned africans like the ppl who lived in Africa since forever..

    I'm guessing Lucifer is white, that's why they didn't include him.

    Funny thing is that people were like 140cm tall back then, makes the pyramids even more impressive.

    lol I dont even know what the white mans idea is. Im not murican g, where Im from, the prophets are always depicted dark skinned. Just not with shaven chests (no ? ) and without beards n the og king robes.

    no beard means no king fam lol. Thats the law.

    Many Israelis and Palestinians today look white
    It is not impossible for some biblical figures to look like that considering those places are the alleged holy land

    those are not the people who are referenced in the Bible.
    the world is mostly brown ppl. One day these attempts to rewrite folklore in the image of lily whites will bite u folks in the ass.

    hundreds of different (nomadic) tribes/people from various regions lived in modern day syria/palestine/israel/jordan/iraq etc...hundreds...

    both euro n afro centric minded peeps always seem to ignore those facts. Talking bour "mesopotamia n egypt" as if those names werent Made up by foreign historians lol.

    Those people are long dead but 2,000 years is a tiny blip in our history
    They did not go from looking like Wesley Snipes to looking like they do now in that time

    Other areas referenced in religious texts, like Babylon and Assyria also have a lot of variation in skin tone and other features

    There is no way one could say nobody in these texts was "white" with absolute certainty

    There is no desire for any outcome
    just zero willingness to say something is certain when it is not

    Terrible way to live

    cant really blame the man, ? hollywood and eurocentrics got the Whole world believing Jesus and co were white. Got russel crowe playing noach and ? .

    Here in Indonesia, churches are loaded with blond haired Jesus. ? is absurd.

    we need a counter reaction, get the discussion on, knowing that moses was darkskinned for example, would uplift/have positive effects...

    I say the same thing. Afrocentricity is usually as ridiculous as Eurocentricity.

    I'm suprised these two posts haven't been flagged to death, goats to both of you
