Then it obviously isn't true.

I dunno, my guess is that the wise men, if they existed, were from three different kingdoms. Jesus was born in Bethlehem... which is in Israel right? Israel's pretty close to Africa, so who's to say one of the kings wasn't from Africa? Assuming everything with a non-white person in it was made that way to be "politically correct" is racist and.. well.. stupid. In a politically correct version of the nativity story, There would be six wisepeople (black, white, arab, latino, asian, aboriginal/islander). One would be in a wheelchair, one would be gay, one would be a wise woman, and they'd all sing about equality and hug a lot. Jesus of course would be an even mixture of all races.

Well Jesus was white right? Mary was White right? and Joesph was white right? So that means the people of Bethlehem all have to be white.And having a black man part of the movie is hollywoods liberal biased of political correctness by adding a black man part of the 3 wise men.I dont see where it says in the bible.If your gonna do a story about jesus birth then do it right and accurately.
This is correct

This is Hollywoods verson

And thats wrong!

Personally I don't care if one guy was black or if the whole dang movie had black performers......I liked it.

Steveox you make my head spin. Those are all pictures. Someone painted them from their imagination. They aren't real, either one. They are not photos.

Well nowadays Persian is caucasian. Back then, apparently Persian was black coming from the Moors.

Did I get that right?

Yes, I think that is historically correct.

HAHA!!!! Wild times.

Where does it ever say that Jesus, Mary and Joseph were white?

And even if they were (they weren't, not as you consider it anyway), the Wisemen came from far away.
... No. Persian is the ethnicity that inhabits Iran. Ahjmedinjad and the dudes in the film 300. Caucasian means from the caucus mountains, but in todays lexicon means European "white."

Persia/Iran is slightly to the east (we three kings, from orient are...) of Israel.

The wise men were from "the east." Which would pretty much rule out Africa. Babylonian, Persian, Indian, Chinese, Aborigine, SE Asian----take your pick.

Hey Chris! Shut up!

hahahaha.... If Jesus existed I seriously doubt he or anyone around there was white. Theyre in the middle east... theyd be um, i duno, arabian! duh. No, all of us crackers were in Europe at the time I guess, except the Romans who were everywhere. But if Jesus was Roman they wouldnt have hated him so much. Considering that, and that there probably weren't many if any black people in the mid-east, I'd say he was an arab if he existed. Its stupid how every race wants him to be their own... Heh... Asian or Latino Jesus. If his race bothers you you're not a very good christian from what I can tell.

Well, since I don't see Jesus as my "savior" I'm more interested in the historical side of him.

My mistake... I was using "arabic" to refer to people of middle eastern decent. Which I suppose would include Mesopotamians. I always thought of middle eastern as a nationality not a race, I thought arab was the race... what is it then?
