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?
A "nazi" site based out of West Palm Beach has the stink of gefilte fish all over it.
It is one of Don Black's sites, and he is anything but Jewish. Sorry Charlie, but your big lie attempt has all the stink of rotting tuna.
I know. I've never been a fan of Don Black and became even more suspicious of him when I found out this "Nazi" lives in and works in one of the most Jewish sections of America.
Where he lives means almost zero compared to the volumes of hateful crap he is responsible for putting on the Internet and for all the networking of Jew hating and racist creeps he has done. You are going to have to come up with more then a tidbit of questionable circumstantial evidence before I would believe anything as dumb as the notion that Don Black is Jewish or works for anything but and for haters and baiters.
Black isn't Jewish. He works for the ADL, et. al. as a Judas goat. An old friend of mine, Eustace Mullins, told me that in the mid-1950's the ADL approached him and offered him a good chunk of change in exchange for advanced copies of his work and for information on who he was working with. The alternative , they told him, was that he would never be published in mainstream outlets. He turned them down flat. Willis Carto is another Judas goat according to Mullin. Carto was living pretty high on the hog.
You're probably right about Black. He's been around for years. Geniune white supremacists don't last very long in the public eye. Blacks are wise to the Jews. The film may rub some salt on the festering black/white issue, but I doubt much will come of it.
Don Black gets promotional aid from the Village Voice and HBO. Only a fool would believe him to be anything but a Judas goat. --- Black has been using his site to promote the event to the world from his home in downtown West Palm Beach, two miles from the voting action this week at the Emergency Operations Center. Black, a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, will be there with his 11-year-old son, Derek (the webmaster of Stormfront for Kids.) Both father and son are featured in the HBO documentary http://Hate.com, airing this week. November 15 - 21, 2000 http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0046,ladd2,19934,6.html ---
By 1997, Black's site became home to the Web pages of other extremists, such as Aryan Nations and Ed Fields, racist publisher of The Truth At Last, a hate- filled newspaper. He also posted new reprints of white supremacist articles and essays, such as The Talmud: Judaism's holiest book documented and exposed. Meant to inflame Christians by characterizing the Talmud as primarily anti- Christian and filled with "malice," "hate-mongering" and "barbarities," this particularly scurrilous tract willfully distorts and misrepresents an important religious document while demonstrating a complete lack of understanding of its history, complexity, and role in Jewish religious practice." http://www.adl.org/poisoning_w eb/black.asp Yours' is an example of the big lie technique where one tells such an astoundingly incredulous lie nobody "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously". Don Black uses non-whites and Jews to spread fear and hatred to create the sort of fear and panic that suspends reason and the process of critical thinking necessary to know that his is a bill of goods unworthy of adopting and living by. Nice try, but you are far from the first foolish shill I have seen do this on the Internet, and no doubt you won't be the last.
Quoting the ADL and Stormfront? You really are a good little commissar wannabe.
Not only that, I admire the good work and advocay of the ADL. They are a fine organization who does good work shining the light on evil entities such as Storm Front and it's owner Don Black. As for what sort of wannabe I am, I am a longtime political activist in real life, not a wannabe. I've used my real name in my postings because I am well known locally and not afraid to say anything I say in forums in real life, because I do. If I hear something that I strongly take issue with in real life, I step right up and take issue with it. I'm not shy. It is in fact something everyone should do.
They've also been caught, a few times, spying on American citizens for Israel's benefit. They're a foreign entity operating on American soil and against the interests of American citizens. I do respect you for being upfront about your allegiance, though the respect is nullified by the allegiance itself. Christine, it appears you have an honest to goodness ADL lackey on your board.
I think I now know who the real mole is. Supporting the ADL? Might as well support AIPAC.
It's the same thing.
Supporting the ADL? Might as well support AIPAC. It's the same thing. I do believe we have a trouble-making leftist troll on this forum. There is no excuse whatsoever for supporting Nelson Mandela and Steven Biko. Might as well support Che' and Castro.
There is if you're a South African black. Biko was a great man for his nation and his people. I'll never denigrate spiritual courage. "It is better to die for an idea that will live, than to live for an idea that will die." -Biko
"It is better to die for an idea that will live, than to live for an idea that will die." -Biko Thank you for the kind sentiment. He was a great man. One time a jailer said to him (paraphrasing from memory), "Kaffir, I am going to kill you!" to which Steve replied, "Well then, I wonder how long it is going to take you." He was a gifted, compassionate and brave man. He is and always will be a source of deep inspiration for me.
Yes, he was. What was great about him was his fight against a dominant minority, much as the fight in America against the dominant minority of the Supremacist Jewish/ZioChristian power structure. Recall that Zionists were the last supporters of Biko's murderers. You support the ADL, one of the heads of the Zionist hydra in America.
Yes, there was indeed an unholy alliance between Israel and the South African Government of that era. The Israelis were instrumental in helping them bypass much of the weapons and military equipment embargo, and U.S. satellites picked up a "zoo animal," code word for nuclear test occurring in South Africa that undoubtedly was the test firing of an Israeli Nuclear weapon. I remember this well, and this was one of my earliest sources of frustration and anger at the government of Israel. As far as the ADL goes, I support Good work they have done just as I support Israel's right to exist. I have my criticism of both as well as my praise, which is why I found your comments in your ping to Christine so amusing. I loathe Bush and much of the co opting of the government by large trans- national corporations, but that doesn't mean I am anti-American and don't support the U.S. government when it does good things. Remember too I was in Special Forces in the United States Army and took part in the un-necessary and illegal invasion of Panama during Operation Just Cause under the auspices of GHW Bush's presidency as well.
Please list the "good work" and be specific. You also never answered my earlier question re: the ADL: Have you ever emailed or gotten in touch with them?
Why do you ask? As for their good work, that is obvious as they have researched and documented people places and organizations who promote religious, racial and other bigotry quite well and I have found them to be a useful source of material when I have needed such data.
That's a yes, then? They have researched and documented people places and organizations who promote religious, racial and other bigotry quite well Where's their research on Ariel Sharon? Menachem Begin?
You think I don't have a right to ask your motives in asking? If your point is germane to the discussion at hand perhaps I will answer that question then.
You think I don't have a right to ask your motives in asking? My motives are quite obvious. You claim you're not an ADL shill and then balk when asked a simple question about your communications with Rabbi Abe "Bacon Breath" Foxman's group. Where's their research on Ariel Sharon? Menachem Begin?
Actually after ten years of posting in forums like this one on the Internet I am redicent anytime to allow anyone to put me on the defensive for any reason. My answer would have been the same if you had asked me if I had ever E mailed CAIR. I would have asked why you asked. Yes I have corresponded with people in that organization, and no I have never worked for them and most certainly am not a shill of theirs'. But I have long been active politically and have snail and E mailed many organizations including CAIR for that matter. ;-)
Thank you for finally answering the question. Where's their research on Ariel Sharon? Menachem Begin?
You would have to ask them, because as I am not part of their organization nor wish to be. In fact, I am also a proponent for a far more liberal, secular government then runs the current coalition government in that country. I am also not Jewish or of a Jewish background being born and raised Catholic. I have found the ADL primarily useful in regards to information about people, groups and situations in this country, not theirs. That is far more information then I needed to give you, but I was nice enough to give it to you anyway. The discussion should be about the issues and events at hand, not your fellow interlocutors in a forum, so unless you wish to reciprocate about your political associations, let's get back to the topic at hand if you indeed want to talk about it.

The ADL's research on Sharon and Begin doesn't exist because they haven't done any. The ADL supports Jewish liars, thieves, murderers and bigots if they happen to be working for Zionist interests. So much for their "Good work". unless you wish to reciprocate about your political associations I have none. I'm my own man.

"Since its creation, Stormfront has served as a veritable supermarket of online hate, stocking its shelves with many forms of anti- Semitism and racism. In its first two years, Stormfront featured the writings of William Pierce of the neo-Nazi National Alliance; David Duke; representatives of the Holocaust-denying Institute for Historical Review and other assorted extremists. Conspiracy-laden discussions of the destruction of the Branch Davidian complex in Waco, Texas; the shootout at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, between the FBI and white-separatist Randy Weaver; and the bombing of the Murrah Federal Office Building in Oklahoma City appeared on the site's Home Page. In one article, Kirk Lyons, defender and self-proclaimed sympathizer of right-wing extremists, likened the events at the Branch Davidian compound to the Nazi destruction of the town of Lidice in Czechoslovakia.8 In another piece, Eustace Mullins, an aged anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist who has spread hate for more than 40 years, suggested that the likely party responsible for the bombing in Oklahoma City is the Anti-Defamation League.9 In addition to text articles, early versions of Stormfront housed a library of neo-Nazi graphics available for downloading, a list of phone numbers for racist computer bulletin boards that were not on the Internet, and a short page of links to other hateful Web sites.
