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.

Doesn't have to purely. And there's always subjectivity in the ontology. We can define a thing called reaction time, for example, and devise various ways to measure it.
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.
True that, but so much of "IQ" is intangible or is at least based on flawed assumptions. I tend to believe that much of what passes for "IQ testing" is like most other things pushed by the uberculture - it's another form of debasing humanity.
"All of the rabbis appeared on my behalf, the ADL guy appeared on my behalf. Finally they voted to let me in." 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.
"All of the rabbis appeared on my behalf, the ADL guy appeared on my behalf. Finally they voted to let me in." I gathered that was your opinion of them befoe you articulated that last post, and I will take that as a no, you don't wish to talk about your political affiliations and associations.
I told you. I have none.
"All of the rabbis appeared on my behalf, the ADL guy appeared on my behalf. Finally they voted to let me in." Intelligent people naturally tend to over-value intelligence. A person with low IQ isn't objectively worse than another... just as someone with high IQ isn't better. And there's an answer no Intelligent, Educated person likes. Science doesn't make those kinds of judgements. Intelligent people do like to make them, as least with regard to themselves as individuals. But having group identities, too, at that level of aggregation they prefer to discard the science rather than give up the belief that they are superior individuals.
Sure you don't. What would you call this? The love to dish it out and an inability to take similar interrogatory from someone else? My point here is empathy. You seem to have none and are so paranoid you just were dying to try to put me on the spot. I would further extrapolate that you don't necessarily believe me despite my quite extemporaneous straightforwardness, however would tale great umbrage at any sign I did not believe you when you claim "you are your own man." ;-)
Unless they're intelligent enough to get over it. ; ) A person with low IQ isn't objectively worse than another... just as someone with high IQ isn't better. And there's an answer no Intelligent, Educated person likes. You're a wise soul. I'll take a person of integrity over intelligence anyday of the week, though a mix of the two is always a bonus.
"All of the rabbis appeared on my behalf, the ADL guy appeared on my behalf. Finally they voted to let me in." I call this an exchange of opinion and information by free people. I belong to no party, I gave up on the voting scam and I give no time or money to any group pushing a "cause". My point here is empathy. Supporting the ADL is a sign of deficient or skewed empathy. They back theft and murder.
"All of the rabbis appeared on my behalf, the ADL guy appeared on my behalf. Finally they voted to let me in." Heh, well I support the efforts of the Ross institute to build a database of cult groups and general cult information too as exists at http://Rickross.com, but do not support the kidnapping and deprogramming of people who suffer from the sort of sudden personality change/brainwashing cults despite the good intentions involved in doing so. I like the research done and presented freely by the ADL and find it useful. Just like that available from the Ross institute. You may not like the ADL, but not everyone is going to be as closed minded about an excellent resource of material as you are apparently.
That's right, the software automatically hotlinks things typed in URL form here is that site talked about and given a broken link I had not intended for it to have. ;-)
You're opposed to bigotry unless it's Jewish bigotry. That's called hypocrisy.
"All of the rabbis appeared on my behalf, the ADL guy appeared on my behalf. Finally they voted to let me in." You put your fingers in gear to type without putting your mind in gear to do critical thinking, that is called foolishness.
I'm not the one claiming to be opposed to bigotry, hate, etc. and then turning around and praising one of the oldest hate groups in America, a hate group that happens to the propaganda arm of B'nai B'rith. You lose critical thinking when it comes to the Tribe. I don't.
"All of the rabbis appeared on my behalf, the ADL guy appeared on my behalf. Finally they voted to let me in." Everybody has their own opinion on everyone and everything, now don't they? You are wrong, but that is your prerogative. Just as it is mine to access their information resources if I need the use of them.
Absolutely. Your words: "...they have researched and documented people places and organizations who promote religious, racial and other bigotry quite well" Who they protect by remaining silent on is just as important as who they "expose" and "promote".
"All of the rabbis appeared on my behalf, the ADL guy appeared on my behalf. Finally they voted to let me in." Yeah, none of us fare too well at ebonics. ROTFLOL!
"To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can ever fight; and never stop fighting." E.E. Cummings
I think he's got you on that one, Mike. As for all of the tired canards you have flung around so haphazardly, those are nothing more than political language which belong in the dustbin. “Political language … is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one’s own habits, and from time to time one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase … into the dust bin, where it belongs.” Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell)

He doesn't. And your comment here shows how little you actually know. Speak for yourself. You are the one who is giddy as a starstruck schoolgirl at having actually met Don Black.
Or good sound political instincts either.
I think people would resent it if I ran as the ebonics candidate.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!

Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
And your point is...?
... called me a honkey. I don't have to put up with that.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
white debbil
.
I still don't see your point. Explain.
Well being lilly white, I think some people might get upset if I ran on a pro-ebonics ticket is all.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
In other words you don't have a point to your comment. This is your problem, not mine.
So you're saying you are anti-ebonics? That might get you into trouble. Has the pro-ebonics angle been tried yet, by a white guy I mean?
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Rather than lament I lampoon. How's that grab you?
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
I don't sweat someone entertaining themselves with baiting 101. Glad you found somthingto amuse yourself with tonight, enjoy.
You need to quit treating minorities like they are helpless victims and you're their savior, it would get you rolled in the parking lot most places around here.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
I don't. That is your mis-perception. People are people, with good and bad ones in all demographic groups. I also hardly view myself as a savior as well. I am just a human being with my share of graces and faults like anyone else.
Nah! Not likely. I've been near big time stars that make Don Black look like a peanut vendor. I'm not phased in the least. He's got his gig, and that's the way it is.
"To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can ever fight; and never stop fighting." E.E. Cummings
That means, of course, that you tell as many lies and make as many promises to your constituents as you have breath to speak. And then don't keep the promises and tell them the lies were the truth. No thanks.
"To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can ever fight; and never stop fighting." E.E. Cummings
I think a state rep in California did. When asked why, he said white people would themselves need it one day.
A gig huh? And how do you feel about this...gig? Do you resonate with his effortd, do you feel as I do that he is destroying lives and working to destroy community building in this country? I find it odd in any event you would wind up meeting this person. He is about as nasty a POS as they come and I can't imagine any senario where I myslf would give him anything more then as hard a time as possible over all the bad he does to split people apart and bring out the worst in them if by chance we met.
Why so odd? We were in New Orleans at the same time and place. We met but it was nothing spectacular. No big deal. BTW, Don Black is every bit as much an activist as you are. In some ways you are alike, though you would not think so. Don't ask me to explain. (I know you will flip out at my comparison.) Don Black is much more a gentleman than you or I, and does not use profanity and name calling to express himself. You can believe that BS on the ADL site if you wish. No skin off my nose.

It's my opinion that a purely objective IQ test can't be written.
Like most Star Wars fans, Anakin sure felt disillusioned when he learned being Jedi was a matter of some funky organelles, rather than being spiritually chosen.
