Jesus Christ was WHITE!

David and Solomon were the ancestors of Jesus Christ and the following is how their physical appearances are described in The King James Version of The Holy Bible:

"And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he." - 1 Samuel 16:12

"Ruddy" means "red" in Hebrew and Caucasians are the only race that turn that color whenever they cry, are embarrassed, become really angry, get their skin slapped repeatedly, or whenever they are under the brightest star for too long. Given that David worked outside all day as a young man, it makes sense that he was regularly sun burned.

Furthermore, Anglo-Saxons are often characterized as having "fair-skin". Read how the author of the Book of Samuel 1 described Goliath's perspective of David:

"And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance." - 1 Samuel 17:42

On that note: The following is how one of Solomon's wives described Solomon -

"My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand." - Song of Solomon 5:10

"Ruddy" means "red" in Hebrew

Hmmm no it doesn't. Ruddy means healthy in English.

Furthermore, Anglo-Saxons are often characterized as having "fair-skin"

And David and Jesus were Anglo Saxons, moron?

Wasn't Jesus a Jew?

Wasn't Jesus a Jew?

He was. In fact He was a descendent of David.

Who gives a shit? The race or ethnicity of this person is irrelevant. His/her message could have value, but seems to have been poisoned by typically toxic human followers.

The "red" point is against the OP. Native Americans are seen as red.

[–] Frogarama (12942) 6 years ago

Hell, the OP's point falls apart on every level. It's a true example of pure racism.

1. White skin is not red. Native American skin is seen as red and has been called red historically. Therefore, the skin tone being described would match Native American skin.

2. The OP is literally implying that these "white" people are described as "ruddy" because white skin can flush with blood to look red (pink actually). This would REQUIRE these Biblical descriptions of ruddy skin to be describing white people ONLY when they are sad, embarrassed, or getting slapped!!! How insane is that?

3. "Fair" does not mean white. I can mean lighter, but fair also means PRETTY, or nice looking.
Example: Women are called the fairer sex. This does not mean the whiter sex, it means prettier.
Example 2: "Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all" -- She is not asking who is whitest, she is asking who is prettiest.
Conclusion: "Fair" only means "white" because white people referred to their "fair skin" as "pretty skin" which implied that non-whites were not pretty.

I wish the OP was here so he could get schooled on his racism. Unfortunately this is a topic imported from IMDb.
