Exception! Since Jesus was the son of a Hebrew mother and his ancestry
was traced from the House of David on both sides of his family tree... this
claim is rather difficult to believe. This is, of course, assuming that you
believe the genealogical account given in the New Testament.

"Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and not feed you, or naked and
not clothe you, or homeless and not shelter you, or sick or in prison
and not visit you?"
"As you did it not unto the least of these, you did it not unto me."
By my reading of that passage, Jesus is not only black, but addicted
and alcoholic and infected with AIDS, coughing his lungs out in a city
alleyway where his only shelter is a cardboard box and his only food
supply the dumpsters behind the restaurants. No-one feeds him or
shelters him or treats his illnesses, but the local skinheads rough
him up for laughs. They'll probably pour lighter fluid on him tonight
and take turns throwing lit matches at him to see who can ignite him.
No? You say, no? You ask me, when was Jesus ever a homeless beggar
trying to survive in a heartless modern city? When did we ever let
*Jesus* go uncared-for, hungry, ragged, cold, sick, or tormented?
As we did it unto the least of these, we did it unto him.
