the Devil, white.”
A early all o f the ancient gods o f the
: • : \c w World were black and had
v hair Buckley says, ‘‘From the
iture o f the hair 1 am inclined
to avi.gn to the Buddha o f India; the
uhi o f China; the Xaha o f the Japa-
the Quetzalcoatl o f the Mexi-
tns.tK ame and indeed an African, or
ratr.tr . Nubian origin.” In the Bible,
''od, or the Ancient o f Days, is de-
a. having "hair like the pure
>i I e earliest statues o f the Virgin
' I ary and Christ in Europe as far north
as
were black and Negroid.
Last week we documented the pres­
ence all over the world of the ‘‘Black
Ma ! ' i and child” statues and imagery.
In the - ene vein we report these observa­
nce:-; madi before the aforementioned
‘‘revision: .ts" stepped in to ostracize the
Africans.
\ e . i n we quote J. A. Rogers and list the
sources.
The earliest traditions o f the "Sav­
iors o f Mankind.' ’ from the Buddhas to
Jesus depict them as black, or dark-
skinned (see Sex and Race, Vol. 1,273-
83. 2nd ed. 1940). Eisler R. says that
Josephus, Jewish historian o f the first
century said that Christ "was a man of
simple appearance mature age, dark
skin w ¡ ;n little hair. About four and half
fee 54 r 58 inches (tall), hunchbacked,
wiih a l e g face
and undeveloped
beard He says this appears in the
reconstructed original-Halosis, Ii, 174
et seq.) The early Christians, he says ac­
cepted that picture, including Tertul-
lian and Augustine but that the Halosis
underwent the usual' 'corrections at the
hands of Christian copyists with a view
to embellishment.” the Christians had
gained power, they had become mighty,
Christ n,id become a King and it would
no longer suit to portray him as unim­
pressive in appearance. The original
text, says Eisler, ' 'would give offense to
believing Christians and their Hellenis­
tic ideal o f male beauty" therefore they
changed the pen-picture o f Christ to
"ruddy, six feet high, well-grown, ven­
erable, erect, handsome . . . blue eyes .
beautiful mouth, copious beard.”
(Messiah Christ, pp. 411.421-442.) See
also F. Hertz: Race and Civilization, p.
183.1928 on this.
A portrait o f Christ, entirely apoc­
ryphal and with absolutely no founda­
tion in truth, was conceived somewhere
along the line by a European artist
a> cording to European ideals o f beauty
and that seems to have the first one, or
ones were ent irely the product o f imagi­
nation. it Jollows that all the rest are.
Their only value is artistic.

He says also that neither St. Augustine
nor Tertullian thought Jesus good-look­
ing, pp 116,117,118, 124, 129, 130.
See also Stuart-Glennie. J. S. Isis and
Osiris. ' 'Out of Egypt have I called my
son. Out o f the Osiris myth have 1 called
my Christ." pp. 417-432. 1878.
And this, readers, cites only a tiny
portion of the African contribution.
