Well, they WERE people of color. Prolly a bit too brown for the Trump administration.

Unlikely though, because people of color are identified as so, in the bible.
They were obviously different than the writers.

Sad, that's all, very sad because it's what we've become as a nation. But yes, as another comment said, it's a powerful message.

And thank goodness (not God) they did because Jesus never made it into your hearts thanks to cages, right?

Dang dude, American isn't North Korea yet, don't be so frightened by facts and truth. Trump can't do anything to you for speaking the truth. Well, except launch a public smear attack against you using all the power of the office of the POTUS. We've seen him do that, a lot.

OK, I can understand why you're so frightened. Glad I'm not an American.

If you are not then I have no need to pay any attention any comment you make on matters American and I am not frightened because I am an American who clearly has a better understanding of the facts and truth.

We do know the features , including skin color of people residing the the middle east at that time period, so yes, yes we do know that.

I never said you were frightened because you were an American. I'm not sure where you got that from. But you're clearly too frightened to admit what Trump's campaign strategy says about you. Understandable. It's nasty, isn't it?


Anyways, let get back to the topic. That image of Jesus alone in a cage, separated from his parents. That highlights Trump's policies. Don't you think that's a powerful image?

From what I understand, this would be an accurate image of a typical Jew of that era:

Definitely cage material.

Actually we don't, we do know, at that time, the Europeans controlled the Med sea for trade, and the entire coastline was flush with Europeans.
We do have written info in the bible describing the people they deal with, indicating they are different than the writers.

There are many races there from dark black to European white.

There is a considerable amount of evidence to make an educated guess at what Jesus would have looked like:

What Did Jesus Really Look Like? New Study Redraws Holy Image | Live Science
According to Taylor's research, rather than towering over others in Judea, Jesus was about 5 foot 5 inches (1.7 meters) tall, or the average height seen in skeletal remains from males there at the time. People in Judea and Egypt tended to have brown eyes, black hair and olive-brown skin, based on surviving archaeological remains, historical texts and depictions of people seen in mummy portraits from Egypt
...
There was interaction between Judea and people from Europe (who could have lighter skin) as well as Sudan and Ethiopia (who could have darker skin). But because Jews in Judea and Egypt tended to marry among themselves at the time, Jesus' skin, eyes and hair probably looked like those of the majority of the people in Judea and Egypt, Taylor found. Surviving texts say that Jews in Egypt couldn't be physically distinguished from the rest of Egypt's population around Jesus' time.

However, we know his family history, allegedly, on mary's side. Mary was a levite, and there were very strict marriage rules for them.
