I do believe that jesus/isa was semi-black. Historically and regionally wouldn’t make sense for him to be white.
Would be most logical for him to be middle eastern tinted.
Understanding how history made this development is crucial. Kings used to justify their rule by claiming to be chosen by god. For a better overall picture, depicting jesus as white allowed them to assert more dominance. Many historical figures have changed their religion purely based on what was commonly practised in their kingdom.
Nowhere in the bible, Torah and Quran is a description given of Jesus. (As far as I know of)
Jesus being depicted therefore is merely based on whim and preferred idolisation.
I do not see this as an argument to counter Christianity (as the bible doesn’t state jesus’ appearance). However I do see this as an interference for people to practice the true religion of christianity.
In my opinion, someone who truly wants to be close to god, must be critical of everything and only take their scriptures for granted. That’s technically how any religion should be. If one genuinely believed in a god, they wouldn’t want to be mixing in human concepts. Logical and scepticism is a must
