First Black Jesus Movie Aims To Unite Blacks And Jews 2006-05-31 -- WDC MEDIA NEWS (LOS ANGELES) -- "Color of the Cross," a Nu-Lite Entertainment production, is an independent, biblically charged religious biopic based on the last 48 hours of Christ’s life and stands to be the most controversial depiction of Jesus to date. In this gripping, two-hour epic, Jesus is portrayed as a black Jew. This retelling of the biblical story from a black perspective seeks to repair the anti-Semitism that has been associated with the story of Christ. The inclusion of Black Jews during Passover in the film makes a clear statement toward the shared history of African and the Middle Eastern cultures without being offensive. Unlike "Passion of the Christ," "Color of the Cross" chose not to focus on the bloody torture of Christ’s crucifixion. Instead the film focuses on the human pain and suffering that Christ, the Disciples, and Christ’s family endured. "Color of the Cross" reaches across a cultural divide to inspire and challenge its viewers intellectually. According to the film’s director, Jean Claude LaMarre, "To watch a black man on screen, being referred to as rabbi, or to see him partaking in a Seder meal and observing Passover really blurs the lines that divide blacks and Jews in this country. We are part of the same history." "Color of the Cross" seeks to stimulate and awaken peace and unity between all races of people. Recent programs such as the History Channel’s "Warriors of the Bible" clearly shows the diversity of cultures as they existed in the geographical region where the Bible stories occurred. And like many of the recent programs flooding the media such as the Book of Judas, Ron Howard’s "The Da Vinci Code," etc, "Color of the Cross" also bases its story not just on scriptural interpretation but other historical data with many interpretations pointing to the fact that Christ very well may have been dark skinned. The film will have a theatrical release in October 2006. Revealing clips and exclusive information can be found at: http://www.colorofthecross.com/ Note to the Editors -- The film is a Nu-Lite Entertainment production, and producers are Rev. Cecil "Chip" Murray, Jessie Levostre, Kenneth Halsband, Executive Producers Lila Aviv, Paul Noe, Edy Lahens, Marc Porterfield, Michele Gonda and Co-producer Marcello Thedford.

Po' dumb darkies. The mean average IQ of Africans is 70; for American blacks, 85. Tell them that Jesus was black and they'll believe it. It just makes it easier to others to lead them around by their noses.
This rediculous crap is Storm Front BS, Negroes are just as good as any other part of the human race. Where did you hear this nonsense, Storm Front?
I don't read Stormfront. It has been well-known for a hundred years or so, that the mean average black IQ in the US is 85; in Africa it's more like 70. That's why Africa is in the shape it is in. They were better off under dat ol'd debbil white colonialism.
You are talking nonsense. I suppose you have a credible citation that shares your opinion after preforming exhaustive impartial research into this sort of buffoonery too. Please post it, I am always amused when people try to find the unfindable. I was married to a woman who is working as a school administrator and I know many of her family and friends from those years well. All of these Negroes are very sharp, very intelligent. Your fiction has no legs to stand on and only demonstrates your racial bigotry in all it's ugliness.
It's "its," not "it's." If you are so out of it, that you truly do not understand the American blacks have a mean average genetic IQ of 85, and Africans, 70, then you are living in a deluded fantasy world that I do not believe anything can dislodge you from.
You are a racist and a bigot. That is all I need to understand about you. Thanks for sharing that you have no proof of the veracity of your hateful statements. If you did, you would have posted it is response to my posts to you. You are a Storm Front mole, because whether you are actually proselytizing from that site's articulated mission to spread the hatred you live by or not, you are here doing their work for them. Negroes and Caucasians are exactly alike in more ways then they are not. And if you don't acknowledge that, you are a kook, a racist, and a fascist.
I don't read Stormfront, nutcase. You're welcome to go live in Africa....which you won't, ever. And you know it.

It doesn't much matter if you do or don't, you irrationally hate Negroes based on something quite arbitrary; the color of their skin. You probably would even dislike me even more then you do if you knew I have a son who is half African American and half Irish Puerto Rican too. So it goes with the likes of you. Heh, I was one of the founders of a local group called Eugene Free South Africa and an a longtime admirer of Nelson Mandela and the father of the Black consciousness movement in that country, Steve Biko. I have studied that country and am very badly wanting to go visit the place. A close activist friend of mine went to the Horn of Africa and came back with a gorgeous Wife and her son. They have had two lovely Little girls since then, and perhaps when I go to visit that continent, I too will come back with another Negro wife, who's to say? One thing for sure about Black women, they are every bit as beautiful and attractive as White women are. ;-)
