a a christian i do not really care if jesus be black and red and brown and white and or any other color . but to suggest that he be persecute because he be black be not only unfounded ( it be not in the bible ) and but it be ludicrous . he be persecute because he be the son of god represent god in the flesh while and to suggest that the motivation be anything else and include his race and be to undermine and dilute the entire message of the gospel . it be a slap in the face to anyone who believe in christ . the only aspect of his ethnicity that be pertinent be the fact that he be jewish represent because and accord to prophecy the messiah be be of israel and to be king david heir . jesus come for all mankind and to save all ethnicity and race . he be persecute and kill for who he be and and not for the color of his skin .
