What's the 'black Eegyptian hypothesis'? That Egyptians in fact are not/were not ever Scandinavians as they are portrayed today? How are you able to ascertain Jesus' complexion? "What Did Jesus REALLY Look Like?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPRnrfTHeL4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPRnrfTHeL4 "How Jesus Became Widely Accepted as Being White": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfJCyDmTwyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfJCyDmTwyg "There Is No White Jesus": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APMu32sC2nM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APMu32sC2nM (This one is the best!) I'm detecting bias . . .

wikipedia has a pretty deep explanation of the black egyptian hypothesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Egyptian_hypothesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Egyptian_hypothesis And in case it's even needed to say so, I don't believe in egyptians or the historical jesus being white - I don't think anyone does outside of American media. As for my personal bias, I have no dog in this fight. I'm in the very edge of what could be considered white, being from a country with more than half a millenia of Arabic influence, and the concept of race doesn't exist here with the clear divisions and strong connotations existent in America (not that racism doesn't exist of course).

  >And in case it's even needed to say so, I don't believe in egyptians or the historical jesus being white - I don't think anyone does outside of American media. Who is considered white has a social (non-racial) element, e.g. middle eastern and balkan immigrants weren't considered "white" by Americans early on, where white meant "looking like English/German/Nordic people" in their minds. They became "white" (in the degree that they did) only after they were more integrated into US middle class. That said, Jesus certainly wasn't WASP-white, but he also certainly (to the degree that he existed) was of mediterranean complexion and thus non-black (in the same sense that Jews, Greeks, Lebanese, Souther Italians, Egyptians, and so on were not and are not black).
