    You, as a white are not in a position to tell a black person whether they are black or not, it's that simple. Brown beige caramel tan call him what you like but Obama is black even though you like to say he is not but rather light skin or brown, when it suits your agenda. This is not your argument though is it, this is an African paradigm not Eurocentric one

    after reading the info in that link you may now look back on the previous links to see earlier portrayals of the Pharaoh at the time of Moses



    follow this scenario:



    Step 1 = let us say that I tell you to imagine a pre-Raphaelite picture even if you don't know what that is


    Step 2 = now I say to read up on pre-Raphaelites such as this:


    http://www.engl.duq.edu/servus/PR_Critic/



    Step 3 = now view a few P-R pics so that you may see their views on beauty such as:



    https://inhyndsight.files.wordpress...art-pre-raphaelite-art-23219457-1600-1200.jpg

    https://inhyndsight.files.wordpress...f-shalott-waterhouse1888-copy.jpg?w=748&h=568




    when you follow these elementary steps you learn something

    now do the same for Pharaoh and Moses

    Has anyone put an objective definition of what one calls black, brown, red, yellow, white?

    Sounds like arguing over differing shades of gray, er black.

    Based on only skin color alone, I'd call obama black.

    Jesus and Mohammad didn't mention oriental individuals (billions and billions of people over the years), yet they claimed to have a belief system for all of humanity.....perhaps they weren't really divine, and just made the stuff up so people would put them up and feed them?

    The Hebrews borrowed from the Egyptians, the Babylonians and the Ugarit.. Christians borrowed from the Hebrews and Muhammed borrowed from both.. Its likely that his ideas about Christianity came from the Nestorian Bishoprics in Arabia at the time he was leading caravans all over the peninsula, Mesopotamia and the Levant..

    Firstly, I have not said Obama is black. I've only seen pictures on British TV.

    Secondly, I know the difference between black, brown, tan, etc. I guarantee that if you asked a decorator to paint your walls brown, they would not turn out black. It's not just colour, it's features as well. Egyptians are not black.

    It doesn't matter how you define someone. What matters is how they define themselves and if it upsets u so much that they define as black then maybe you are just in the wrong game.

    So they are going to suffer burning in "hell" (allegedly). If I had Jesus' supposed magic super-powers (he's allegedly watching over Christians right now, keeping them safe, etc.), I'd care enough about those east asians to have included them in the Bible (would be pretty easy for the all-powerful son of god), so that they'd convert, and not have to be tortured for eternity....but I guess I'm more moral than Jesus, it appears?

    I couldn't care less whether what the colour of someone's skin is personally, but for identification purposes it matters very much. As a witness to a crime in which an Egyptian and a sub-Saharan African were suspects, would you describe them both as black or brown.
    In the US many 'black' AfroAsian people acknowledge that fact. It is a constant complaint that they are being discriminated against because they are black.
    I am not aware of that discrimination against Egyptians.

    I just object to people trying to 'fix' things for their own ideals. There are people of all shades of colours throughout the world. It's more of an insult to throw one group into another for convenience of argument.

    If it satisfies you to do so, so be it.

    Let's just be satisfied we are all one race - the human race.

    ?
    If they accept Jesus Christ they are the sons of god...

    John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

    I think the Moonies did that...

    Yeah,...
    If they don't accept Christ who represents Truth, they will become extinct just as the people in Noah's day, i.e.; the Neanderthals.

    Well you think wrongly. Colour of skin is not important in normal life, it's the personality of the person themselves.
    My friend is married to a charming woman of African origin.
    When I was a Christian I worshipped with people of all colours.

    By the time of Noah's fictional flood (2900 BC) the Neanderthals were died out or diluted with Cromagnan genes.

    Some of them were black and the rest were Egyptian and Greek/Macedonians.
