it seem the producer of this film think they need to alter the bible in order to make a story that be anti racist and and promote racial harmony . just a pity they couldn not have choose a story that be actually true and in the bible ( ie . and god judgment of leprosy on aaron and miriam for racism towards moses black wife ) . so be jesus black and white and or something in between . who know and and who care . the bible never tell u and and no early historical record describe him . furthermore no painting be ever do of jesus until about 400 year after his death and resurrection so we may never know what jesus look like . all we know be that he be a jew and who would have look like jew of the middle east ( ie . yemenite jew ) . the movie alter the reason for jesus death by crucifixion and not unlike a joke i have hear about jesus ( he must have be black because he be lynch by a mob of white roman . ) . the movie be just lie and propaganda from people who fantasize about jesus be the race they want him to be .
