The prevalent depiction of Jesus as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed figure is historically inaccurate [00:21].
Historical Context
According to the video, Jesus, born in a region populated by people of color, would not have possessed the features typically associated with him in Western art and culture [00:28]. The speaker references the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in support of this view [00:15].
Biblical Support
The speaker cites Revelation 1:14-15 as biblical evidence, describing Jesus as having “hair like wool and feet the color of brass” [00:35]. This verse, according to the speaker, directly contradicts the “pale face” image of Jesus [00:46].
