Jesus' description according to Revelations, Chapter 1:14-15
Revelation 1:14-15:
His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.

You know, I guess great minds really do think alike!I did the same thing (defining both colors by Websters def) and realized that their definitions shouldnt define who we really are. "They" always associate us with evil, bad.Like one of my poems say "....White gets the dirtest..."It's amazing how how their words have lowered our self esteem as indivduals and even as a culture.I used to have that portrait of the black Jesus.I absolutely loved that portrait but it was lost while I was commuting from home to home.
I like how you quoted out of the bible how it makes it seem like he's white...when clearly he was brown.He even had a tatoo Revelation 19:16 They way he was spoke was how WE would speak...That book is a contradiction which should say alot to people...
True indeed...
The best & most efficient way to keep someone under control is to have their mind. The body can fail, but as long as the mind is intact, the person cannot be broken...
Flip it though... Let's say you got a bodybuilder TOUGHEST, STRONGEST guy in the world, what good is he if he is still afraid of the bully who picked on him in school? I.E. the elephant/mouse situation.
They get our minds so subconsciously we think we are inferior...
Truth is they are inferior, this nation was built on our BACKS, they just sat around trying to keep cool...
