Don Lemon of CNN says that Jesus wasn't White. Do you agree?

Jesus was a Jew from the Levant. He would have looked like other Levantines, Greeks, Italians and Spaniards. Under US Census data, all Mediterraneans are White. What is Don Lemon talking about?

Caucasian and white aren't quite the same thing. A person can be very dark of skin, but if their eyes do not have an epicanthic fold, and if their hair is of the straight variety, they are classified as Caucasian. People from India are considered to be Caucasion, as are most Hispanics, and so on.

This picture of how Jesus may have looked was featured in Popular Mechanics magazine:

Please note that the medical artist created this portrait as a composite of three skulls from the same area where Jesus was born, and that many of the men of that area were similar in appearance...so, while this is definitely NOT Jesus he would have appeared similar. I am sure he was much more handsome...LOL!!!

There was a story at the time that Jesus father was a Roman soldier named Pantera. So he was half-Italian, half-Mediterranean Jew, and could have been light-skinned.

@hunkalove There are a lot of Levantines with pale white skin. There are many Persians with pale white skin. It isn't a rarity. There are many Moroccan Jews that are ginger.

Jesus was the son of a god, people need to stop thinking he follows any kind of rules
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
I doubt he even existed but if he did then he doesn't have to be defined by anything

@Jackaloftheazuresand he changed shape like the Wolfman?
SuicideBiProxy2 · 36-40, M
@Jackaloftheazuresand I choose to believe he did exist. The greatest episode of Punked ever.

@SW-User He was Swedish. Of course he was white.

He was a Viking.@SuicideBiProxy2
SuicideBiProxy2 · 36-40, M
@SW-User Vikings were from Norway. Swedes didn't go viking. They traveled the courts of the Baltic telling their audiences that they could dance, that they could jive...

@SuicideBiProxy2 having the time of their lives, no doubt.
Jesus’ skin color is a matter of zero importance to me. Albino or as black as night, it does not alter the message. I try to avoid getting tangled up in ‘how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?’ debates. There is real work to be done. When I see God, I’ll know, and that’s enough.
@SuicideBiProxy2 I don’t mind if you care about it. I just don’t.

@Mamapolo2016 You will when you meet Lucifer!
@SuicideBiProxy2 I have insurance for that.

One of these or all of these represent what Jesus looked like on earth. Or none of them.

The US Census is your guide?
So was Muhammad, Islam says he was white too while being born in the Arabic peninsula. Doesn't add up.
SuicideBiProxy2 · 36-40, M
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Under US Census, Muhammad would have been White. However Muhammad was an Arab. Arabs are generally darker than Levantines.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Muhammad says it is ok to marry 9 year old girls

If you want to put Jesus on the US Census, that's your business.
