Dear Editor,
US Movie Director Ridley Scott has made a movie ‘Exodus’ in which the heroes are white, the criminals black and the servants black. A pathetic example of stereotyping. Yet Jesus was African looking and black. Egyptians were coffee coloured Africans, not white and arabesque.
Ridley Scott was deeply admired for his movie making- Now with one blow he has stripped himself of credibility and turned
the image of himself from admiration to revulsion. I refer to the CNN review of his movie ‘ Exodus: Gods and Kings’ (CNN writes ) — The new biblical epic from director Ridley Scott, “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” has a race problem. We’ve known since the moment the full cast was announced: nearly every major role in the movie is played by a white actor. What makes it worse for many observers is that, on the flip side, virtually every black actor in the movie is playing a part called “Egyptian thief” or “assassin” or “royal servant” or “Egyptian lower class civilian.”
If this is true Ridley scott plays the old game of bending history to suit the buyers of [art/history books/movies]. Facts do not matter. History does not matter. African National self esteem does not matter. Credit where credit is due does not matter. History must be bent/refomed/ remoulded/subject to revisionism so that the buyers of the movie/book/artwork congratulate themselves and buy into the true story with fake invented characters. What matters is the rustle of dollars of white movie goers in Europe and the USA.
Egyptians were white- not so? Wrong. They were the Africans before the black Bantu. They had coffee colored skin with bantu styled curly hair. I have in my possession a photo of the head of Tutankhamen and you can see his African curly hair beneath the helmet covering the top of his head. Egypt was occupied by Muslim invading Arabs, and the indigenous Africans were reduced to 10% of the population, while the other 90 % was mostly kind of white Arabs.
Jesus Christ was black or at least coffee colored…. oh no, I have offended people once again!!!!! Prophets accumulate enemies just by speaking truth. Read the Bible. Jacob was a smooth man as most Africans in Zimbabwe are. Esau was a hairy man as I am. Gen 27.11 By this we know definitely that Jesus did not look ‘European’. Esau was hairy like a European.
Next, look up the word ‘black’ in the [King James] bible. Job was black black black. Job 30:30- My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
Despite this clear statement of truth European artists, selling bibles to European buyers, create a wonderful white skinned straight haired British type Job in his sufferings, yet heroic in his ability to not only survive but triumph over suffering.
Then there is the beloved of Solomon, black but beautiful
Songs _1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,
Songs_1:6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me:
Jeremiah the prophet was black
Jer_8:21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
Jeremiah’s countrymen were black
Lam_5:10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
Jesus was a normal Jew. They were black therefore he was black … and not hairy like Esau and Europeans. Yet the artists were white, the readers were hairy, with straight hair-often blond, with white skin and behold…. a tradition of fictional British citizens and a British Jesus. White Jews and white Jesus’.
But this 5 minute research dies not bother Scott Ridley- he is selling to Europeans and they have to identify with heroes that look like them. Elementary research is unnecessary. Facts do not matter. Archaeology is ‘myths’. Egyptian artwork clearly showing tens of thousands of beautiful African maidens with braided hair is ignored. Sculptures of Egyptian monarchs in black granite is overlooked. Need I go on?
And Scott supports the urban myth that the criminals are black while the righteous heroes are white. … and Africans are servants to their euro white masters…. Pitiful.
How the mighty movie man has fallen. Do I laugh at the ludicrousness of it, do I cry over the tragedy of it or do denounce it with prophetic anger? I prefer to mock it, highlighting its ignorant stupidity and self absorbed pride. Like the Narcissus who was obsessed with his own image and starved to death, so Ridley Scott was starved himself of integrity and truth in order to flatter his euro audience who must see his own Euro image in every hero and the black man in every crime and servant role.
Ridley Scott, you have betrayed yourself. You have craved money, you have not done your research and in the process lost our respect. You have created an illusion. Filmed a fantasy. Be gone with your movie. I am not going to see it. The Jews are not going to see it and I hope Africa boycotts it.

Well it’s possible. I was surprised first time I was in Egypt wen I met a black Egyptian and he gave me a brief historical.Why keep it from the blacks?Well the best way to defeat a nation z to take away it’s history it will deprive them from any sense of identity. I have been living in the Middle East for 4 years during this period I have realised that to the Arabs ,color and religion are related .For instance black people are not allowed to lead the church (Christian and Moslems) even if they manage to do so the church service is repeated.Perhaps dat is the reason why Jesus was hated .
Is Buddha mohamud also black ? Then Mugabe is white and the son of the devil ?
The underpinning of white supremacy globally has been built and promoted on the white Jesus lie. If my color doesn’t matter why does Hollywood hide deny &
lie about people of color throughout history?
Jesus Christ is Lord, God and my Father and I know exactly how He looks. We all look like Him, wether black, white or Chinese, we all look like Him. You can see God Jesus Christ in any form and colour He wants you to see Him at that time, you can meet Him as a white man, black or Chinese. You can even see Him on a wheel chair, or sitting in the street begging or as a blind person but if you have love in your heart you probably have seen Him and talked to Him many times, if not start now loving the lame, the poor, the orphans, the beggars, and the orphans then you will see Him. Jesus Christ is in all of us who believe in Him and us in Him. The real colour of God who is Jesus Christ is Light, if you look at the Sun that brightness or if you manage to look at Lightning during a thunderstorm that Brightness which you are not able to look at is The colour of God Jesus Christ. AMEN Messenger Of God
God Bless you my sister you know what you are talking about God is Spirit and we all look like Him and that God is Jesus Christ Our Father, there is no other God but Jesus Christ only. AMEN Messenger Of God

balckdreamhunk I think that for some in all races colour matters. It shouldn,t matter to anyone in Christ Jesus. It wouldn’t matter to me of Jesus was white, black pink or blue; that He is God’s Son and redeemed me is what matters. I’m African and I have to say this; we so often put across a bad example top the rest of the world. look at where Zim has gone. It is a sad fact but Africa tells the world we are a mess and we are. let is get ourselves right. First right in the Lord and then right in in our nations. We need to change. Oh lord change me!
Well it does matter when powerful media outlets keep propagating a stereotypical view of blacks being backward and not contributing anything meaningful to this world! Is it so bad to acknowledge that ‘jesus’ was black if indeed he was? Open thy eyes!
Because for white people skin color matters
Erm.. Where did you get a photo of Tutankhamun?
Aptly put bro colour is immaterial God is Spirit if we manage to overcome these unnecessary biases then the world will be a perfect place to live in.
Why do we get ourselves worried and concerned with these things. The whole of the Middle East is a colour range of people; from light to dark. It is NOT about an historical Jesus but about the spiritual Kingdom of Heaven. God is Spirit. The church should be spirit but we have brought it down and make it earthly. Let us not care how anyone depicts anyone. If Christ lives, by His Spirit, in your heart and Christ is your life you are assured of eternal life. All our Heavenly Father is going to ask us is: what have you done with My Son? It has nothing to do with colour or how we write and show history. It is about Him. He came for everyone; Africa, Europe, Asia and so on. It is a heart thing! It is about the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us get past worrying about things that actually do not matter.
