    What story says they were white? Simple logic would tell you a group of people will attach their own image to a religious belief based in themselves, no big deal.

    ofcourse they were black. they were made out of the dust of the earth.

    white people paint them white like they paint Jesus white to act as if they are a superious race. Christ was black as well.

    The earth is given into the hand of the wicked (Satan & Caucasians) and they covered the face of the judge of the earth (Christ) with their own white images. Thats why they portray all the Biblical characters as white people wen they really were black people. The real Israelites of the Bible are the descendents of the trans atlantic slave trade.


    Job 9:24
    The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?

    Apocrypha: 1 Macabees Chapter 3
    And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images.

    nobody made up the story per se. it was renaissance artists who just made the visuals to fit their position and worldview. images are powerful.

    when did any Black people fleece the truth, and did this??

    they didnt have to because the originals didnt spin off that color ? . all it was was a spectrum of browns and blacks until recent times (relatively speaking) so color wasnt even an issue to obscure the truth with.

    European artists who hadn't traveled much (if at all) outside of Europe just assumed that the characters in the Bible looked like them.

    It wasn't part of a secret racist plan.

    Like I asked recently, if blacks shouldn't worship a white Jesus, why should whites worship a black Jesus?

    Also, Adam and Eve did not exist.
