Thread: Anyone want to know anything about South Africa

Dudes, your logic doesn't hold water

Jesus is born in the middle east, therefore he must have dark skin color.

I didn't know that it is the location that determines your skin color, not your parents. The jews were never a "dark" people, remember this was centuries before the arab/turkic invasion. In fact it was under Roman occupation. Jesus was born with the ethniticity of a jew, he died a jew too.

We will never know his true skin color or length of hair, but just because he was born in Bethlehem doesn't make him dark! (or a terrorist)

South Africa is close to the Namibia!

Most Jews aren't actually descended from people native of Israel or the surrounded area. Some Jews are though and these have darker skin. My father is one such Jew of true Middle Eastern blood and has olive skin, like a Mexican or something. Jesus, as a Jew at that time would have been the same kind and therefore not be white.

How do people know God isn't black?

Anyone familiar with Soiuth Africa knows that, that was not a "Blasting" against South Africans. Quite to the contrary! The Boers (S. Africans) were the good guys in that war. The British (with the help of gullible Australians) were only fighting so Cecil Rhodes (from "Rhodes Scholarship") could get the African gold.

I also know that many South Africans were not permitted to leave S. Africa wilth their life's savings. And ALSO there are a bunch of S. Africans enlisting in the Australian Defence Forces right now. ......(and Americans)

Well, of course not white as he is depicted in many paintings, but definitely not arab or "middle-eastern looking" in the sense we think today.

He looks like "Sasha the White"...i know it for sure

KV, Do you have any historical or anthropological data to support you notion that ancient Jews were not as dark-skinned as, say, present-day Arabs? Considering the history of Jews, I would say that they used to be darker than modern Jews. To begin with, they are commonly thought to share the same ancestry with Arabs, and I didn't see any serious arguments against this theory (Do you know any?). Then, if we belive the Bible, they used to live in Egypt for generation, and Egyptians aren't exactly famous for being white-skinned. After they moved to Palestine, they were mixing with local semitic people. Several centuries later, they were conquered first by Assyrians (who ruined the the Israel Kingdom) and Babylonians (who conquered the Juda Kingdom) which were semitic people as well. So why do you think that a member of a Semitic people—of a people whose ethnogenesis took place among other Semitic peoples at that— could not look like a typical semitic person?

What makes South Africa unique? Does it have a special Nature or landscapes? Is it wealthy country comparing with Northern Europe or US?

Do please remember what (according to official version) Jesus was only half semite, and another half -- angelic spirit. Angelic spirits are definitely *white* (also they have feathered wings and halos -- but these can be due to a recessive genes).

There is no scientific proof that Jesus was born in South Africa.

This is a highly un-official version. According to the official one, he was half-semite and half-God. God is NO angelic spirit, according to most existing Christian denominations! Angels are considerably inferior beings to the Lord. Of course, there are some ivvil people who say that it was Gabriel who conceived Jesus, but for some reason, most believing Christians take a great offence at this theory.

Nobody promotes this idea!

It has Table Mountain which counts as 'special landscapes' I suppose and weird creatures living on it that look like Gophers.


I have some pictures of the area around Cape Town if anyone is interested as I stayed there for a week a few years ago.

I am interested! It would be very nice to see such pictures!

It's called dassie, or coney (!), or cape hyrax.

In Russian, if we can trust Lingvo, it's даман (or daman in English also )
