Whatever Jesus was in the flesh, He is no longer...
Ephesians 2:15 (NASB) by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,
2 Corinthians 5:16 (KJV) Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Revelations gives a pretty good description of Christ:
1) His head and his hairs were white like wool = Hebrew/Black/Mulatto
2) And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace = if you know anything about Brass and refining it with fire, it be BLACK/or the darkest brown around town
14 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.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Not making a joke here, but from this description, Jesus could very well look like Fred Sanford

You are like a kid in the playground. Teasing the other kid until they cry, just so you can laugh. Grow up.
They are wokeity-woke-woke. They won’t listen to reason. They won’t have the stats presented before them. I’ve given stats to support my claim. The other side has presented zero stats at all. I beg you to avail yourself of the info given to inform yourself. We’re not your enemies. Whenever a person is murdered, they need punished to the fullest extent of the law. But when ppl assault police officers? There‘s an old saying, “mess with the bull, get the horn”.
First thing they (BLM, CRT & Leftist ideologues) want to know so they can make a just judgment? "What color was they?"
The Bible doesn't say what Jesus's skin pigmentation happened to be. We can make inferences, assumptions, and project an idea but that isn't the same as knowing is it?
In my view it doesn't really matter what his skin color was. Without empirical evidence there really isn't a case to be made. Had the Bible been explicit about skin color, we would probably see a more harmonious depiction of Jesus in art across cultures. We don't see such a thing; We see people making an idealized Jesus based off of what people can relate to.
There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
1 Timothy 2:5
You say this because you don't believe in the power of the Gospel, you need something else.
Right, as mediator He is man; as the eternal Son, He is God. Hence the God/man.There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
1 Timothy 2:5
Jesus' race was Arab. Palestinian. I mean He was literally in the Roman province of Palestina. Which doesn't sit well with many Christians; 'cause they're terrorists, you know.....
Although the argument that at least 50% of Jesus' blood was divine and thus had no race in the traditional sense does have merit.

Arabs came from Ishmael's line, NOT Isaac's.
Ishmael was Abraham's son by Hagar, whereas Isaac was the son of promise through Sarah.

It would possibly seem that the 2 most influential personas from the New Testament were indeed very darked skinned.
Here is Paul being mistaken for an Egyptian in the Book of Acts:
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus

You know what? I think I just learned something.
Originally when i read your post, I was a bit dismissive, since I thought John was speaking symbolically and that we cannot know his actual appearance from a symbolic description. BUT--John saw Jesus face-to-face. He probably described Jesus as he remembered Him from decades ago--and then embellished with some symbolism, such as a sword coming out of His mouth, Lamb of God, etc..
This is like, cool. I'm going to use that.
How about looking how Josephus described Our Lord and Savior:
“At that time also there appeared a certain man of magic power … if it be meet to call him a man, [whose name is Jesus], whom [certain] Greeks call a son of [a] God, but his disciples [call] the true prophet … he was a man of simple appearance, mature age, black-skinned (melagchrous), short growth, three cubits tall, hunchbacked, prognathous (lit. ‘with a long face’ [macroprosopos]), a long nose, eyebrows meeting above the nose … with scanty [curly] hair, but having a line in the middle of the head after the fashion of the Nazaraeans, with an undeveloped beard.”

This portion is very interesting:
Black Skinned and Hunchbacked!

What Bible do you read?... The Koran?
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
(Rom 9:4-5)
Sounds like the Hunchback of Notre Dame!
I love it How God chose not to be good looking and to be noticeably unique!
