Question
I would like to know where are the black people in the bible.  I understand that people back then were not characterized as black or white, but I really as a black man have a problem with not hearing about people like me in the Bible.  I am talking about the people who have dark skin tones.  If you ever want to get into an arguement tell people Moses or Jesus were black. You will get into the biggest arguement in your life.  They will say he is anything but black.

Answer
Hi,
1.- God dosent have color, gender, and the proof the God dosent care about the skin color of the person, is as you said,"but I really as a black man have a problem with not hearing about people like me in the Bible.  I am talking about the people who have dark skin  TONES".
Do you imagine if the Bible in any part will say things about black people?.. , chinese, hispanic, corean, ect, ect, will can say the same thing....This prejudge only exist in human bein. When Jesus came to this world as a human flesh, remember he born in a part where peopel are white? and if you have read the Bible, he came to His people the Jews, but His people did not received Him ....... Another thing  you perceive God as you like it, as black, hispanic, jews, whatever you feel like it. I remember reading a book about the people of Peru indian, when a misionary when to preach them, the first thing they ask was,,, GOD IS LIKE ONE OF US? and he said,.. yes indian like you....
