Well....if it didn't matter so much, why did they paint him the way they did? Then go on to conquer and taint the real gospel with heresies and lies?
Because that’s what the RCC does....lie, taint the Gospel & conquer those who get in their way. Catholicism is NOT Christian
HI's focus so much on it because for them,
it's a big deal. You mean all this time, we're related to Christ? This is why we were enslaved? The history goes so much deeper than I can go into right now.
But WHY is it a big deal —-Would they reject Jesus if they thought He was NOT black?
We all come from the same 2 original people, Adam & Eve, that is what the Bible says.
I do not know why Blacks were enslaved. I have never owned a slave so I cannot personally testify what was going through their mind that would make slavetraders think it is ok to kidnap & enslave another human being, or why nobody stopped it, just as I do not know why today, little children are being kidnapped & sold into sex slavery, or why we are all aware of it yet haven’t done anything to stop it. TPTB are evil beyond what our minds can comprehend. Indeed, It’s wrong that blacks were enslaved.
What can we do about it now?
You've never been in the place of such a downtrodded people, and made to forget who you were. Stripped of your very essence...so I understand why you wouldn't care. Forget about all historical context, if that's all you feel you must do at this point in your life. Maybe it's not meant for you to understand or ever believe.
With all due respect, You don’t know anything about me, my life experiences or anything I’ve had to go through. Just because I’m not black does not mean I don’t know the bitter sting of racism.
While I acknowledge that blacks have had the shortest end of the stick in terms of racism, Being biracial is no picnic either. EVERY “colored” race gets crapped on by the whites (no offense, whites), and Japanese are certainly no exception.
I actually DO know what it’s like to be a minority, feeling like you don’t fit in, like people are talking smack about the “Jap” in the room, pretending not to notice when you walk by & some stupid jerk stretches back his eyelids to mock you & everyone is laughing at you & you just want to disappear.
You think I don’t know what it’s like to look in the mirror & hate my eye shape, my cheekbones & lips, or to wish I was born with pretty blonde hair & round, big blue eyes & cry myself to sleep when I was a kid because I felt cursed with darker skin & how life would be so much easier if I looked more European? I do.
And do you think Asians are exempt from hair problems, or that I haven’t wasted an entire day going from salon to salon just to see all the white hairdressers face drop when I walk in or they all run hiding in the back & being turned away because they “don’t do ethnic hair”? Yeah, my hair is what we Asians call “bamboo hair”....ultra-coarse, thick, heavy, stick -straight, stubborn & wouldn’t hold a curl to save my life. And when I finally find someone willing to cut my hair, I ALWAYS get charged extra, because my coarse hair “dulls” the person’s shears.
I can’t use the shampoo& conditioner at hotels b/c it’s for Euro hair & it’s too watery so I have to use black hair products, & you know how tiny that section is among the sea of Euro hair products that comes in a million scents I cannot use.
And yes, I got “the talk” when I was growing up, too. You probably know what I mean. The talk. In 2nd grade my Mom saw me crying in my room after school & asked me what was wrong. I told her about the boy that sat behind me calling me a “dumb chink”, telling me to go back to China (amazing how people just assume that Asians are all Chinese), even though I was BORN in the USA.
She explained that I would hear many different derogatory comments & called bad names, but that I had to be very strong & not let those bad things bother me, because there was nothing at all wrong w/me but that some people will not accept me because we look & sound different than most people & that some white people will treat me unfairly.
I knew she was right, because I had already experienced it, & it left me hurt & confused because I was nice to them & tried to make friends w/some of my classmates & many of the whites were rude no matter how nice I was to them. My mom nodded in understanding.
So I asked her, when will it end?
She looked very sad, tears sprang into her eyes & she took a deep breath, sighed and looked me in the eyes & said, “Never”.
That was hard to hear at such a young age, but I am glad she told me, because it’s true.
Also, When people find out you’re Japanese, at least here in America, they can get salty because of Pearl Harbor (which, by the way, was TOTALLY whitewashed to demonize the Japanese because Japan refused to take part in WW2–it was a false flag retaliation by that marionette Roosevelt & His AshkeNAZI Jew
Synagogue of Death. They even my pregnant grandaunt & her husband out of their tiny dress shop in California (after they pledged allegiance to the USA, forsaking their Japanese citizenship to live the “American Dream”, froze their bank accounts overnight, forcing them out of the store that they invested everything they had to open, making sure to destroy everything in their store & marched them onto a MP police vehicle to load them on a bus to a concentration camp, battered my grandaunt to the point that my 1st cousin(once removed) was born prematurely in the camp in SoCal, where my grandaunt died from septic shock. Once my cousin was 2 yrs old, and still petite from being premature, American soldiers would r*pe her while my widowed granduncle was performing forced labor for 18 hrs a day. Thank God she survived, but she was so brutally destroyed from the raping that after they were released she had to have pelvic reconstruction surgery which left her barren.
When they tried to build a life together after this traumatic ordeal, they were ostracized by whites, who now HATED & blamed innocent Japanese US CITIZENS for crimes they didn’t commit (think of post-9/11 national hatred of Muslims/Arabs x100). They saw signs like this plastered everywhere:

And you're right, the bible doesn't promote racism. Even the bible tells the Israelite "thou shalt not abhor an Edomite", just like it tells everyone else "thou shalt not commit adultery", yet, some people fall to that sin.
Do you condemn ALL believing HI's for the sin of some? Do you condemn ALL pastors for the sin that some fall to?
No, I do not. I want them to be saved.
Pray that they come to the knowledge of the truth. Some people are really out there trying.
I do pray for them. And I do know people are trying...
Also when God say he regards the heart..he was saying that because of David's size/age, they didn't think much of him. All throughout the bible God speaks of how he uses the simple to prove the wise, how he uses those are that regarded as nothing for his purpose. That verse meant nothing about skin color. Does God love everyone? Yes, if you aren't wicked. God hates wickedness.
I mean, who even created different nations and set the lines between them? God. Who actually chose a people for himself? God.
Now ask yourself why he did that. And it wasn't to bring glory to themselves.
