Ok, enough of OMG LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE I HAIT U UR WRONG, here's something non political (but I'm sure someone will bring it in) to get people wound up about.

Was Jesus, savior of some, white like all the pictures show him to be?

More or less. That's pretty much the colour of all the people native to that areas skin, so I would assume so.

That's why I said more or less. I wasn't really sure what catagory middle eastern people went under.

There was a person named Jesus that lived around the time as the Biblical figure.  This has been proven by Hebrew historians during that time.  The most famous one was Flavius Josephus but known as Josephus.  He wrote a lot about the history of the Jews including the fall of Jerusalem, and the last Jewish stand agaist the Romans.

I have a always pictured him with as a muscular guy, that has Middle Eastern type complexion.  I say muscular because he was trained to be a carpenter by Joseph,.  I would say to look at the complexion of the Jews today for an idea on how Jesus's complexion may have been, but the current Jewish nation has interbreed with Europe and other nations, thus making there complexion lighter.

Either that, or he did and wrote a book called "the Bible" and it was a best-seller to this day and people made cults called "Christianity" around it.

Damn the guy had to have been rich.

Who cares what color his skin was? His teachings will be the same no matter what color skin he had, so why even debate it?

Pardon my clumsiness with theological terms, isn't being Jewish is a religion? When you practice the Jewish Faith you are a Jew. Sammy Davis Jr. was a Jew.

Jesus lived in an Arabic area. I Assumed he would look Arabic. He does in most of the picture I see created of his likeness.

On the other hand most pictures Created of Arabs ( in Hollywood films for instance ) depict them as dirty and unkempt. The USA media seems to promote this as well. From my observations anyway.

Jesus, whoever that crazy little 1st Century militant was, was what many posters on this forum would describe as a 'sand nigger'. I disagree with the phraseology but that's what he was.

Why exactly was he a militant? I can't recall any areas of the Bible, or any other sources for that matter that describe him taking up arms against anyone.

Well he was kind of a Ghandi character really, although some scholars interpretations of historical manuscripts describe him as having a violent temperament. He was a freedom fighter if you like.

He practiced nonviolent resistance, which is not necessarily the same as being a freedom fighter. The only time I can recall that he was agree was when the people were selling stuff at the Temple, and he freaked out. That was it, I thought...

He didn't really resist anything. Just went around preaching. I wouldn't say he ever did anything remotely connected to overthrowing a government either.

He probably looked like a Jewish Israeli. So the skin color in the movies and stuff is most likely very close to his real skin color.

Or not, most of the Jewish Israelis moved to the region in the last 50 years or so. 

How can you say that images like this:
https://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000633QW.01._PE43_.Jesus-of-Nazareth._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg
are 'more or less' accurate, given scientific data like this:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/81/Map_of_skin_hue_equi.png

The population native to that region 2,000 years ago would have been closer to a modern Egyptian than a migrant Jewish Israeli.
