Paul Mooney has never been given the accolades that he should have and deserves more than any comedian out there even Richard Pryor because Paul Mooney was the one who was writing his material this is the one person that TV one should do an unsung episode on hands down
Great performance.. yes, I grew up in MS as a Baptist later converted to the Episcopal Church and on to exploring other churches. Anyway , I always saw pictures of a European descent Jesus. Regardless of what ANYONE else says about his race and so forth. I don't care what he looked like, the only thing I know for certain is that he is my Lord and Saviorthat he loves all of his children
I can't believe this is 11 years old - really? Where he's talking about Mexicans like he was talking this week on that stage? The man is timeless, a genius. No surprise he worked with Prior.
I was always taught that Jesus was some type of Arabic... of course, only the rust belt/bible belt middle aged housewifes really think Jesus was a white guy with sandy brown locks and blue eyes as he's depicted in some ridiculous paintings lol.
Cleo was from the land of kush. An isreal was in Egypt for 400 years. There was alot of mingling. Even moses was thought to be a kushite. Jesus had to go back to Egypt to blend with them to avoid the genocide of young hebrew boys. Herod wanted them dead to kill the messiah
I'm reading a lot of people mentioning cleopatra wasn't black but from alexander, I'm a history major...etc, but whose to say the ones claiming that to be true? when it comes to color of skin, a lot of people will mix it up so unless anyone really lived around cleopatra and interviewed her in person, in most cases it's not true. I mean, look at the painting of Jesus that's in almost every church, that is not him, that's some dude whose father was a Catholic and people just "made him" Jesus. but I'm going leave this and be gone, 'ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of truth' 2 Timothy 3:7.
See that’s the thing too. Like a lot of people only want to think black people were in Africa. Or like you can’t be black if you’re not from Africa or something lol. She was Macedonian/ Greek or something right? Correct me if I’m wrong...but yeh what’s to say those people weren’t “black” back then. Original Italians and a lot of others around there were “black”. Hell some Arabic’s I see here darker than me lol
give it up Bro. You'll hear people tell you Egypt is part of Europe, when they learn that all the very powerful ideas and abstract knowledge accumulation of the ancient Greeks particularly in mathematics e.g. the field of geometry was developed whole cloth out of their studies with Egyptian priests. Which emerges when you read the diaries of people like Anaximander, Thales, Herodotus, later on Aristotle, every scholar who was anybody among the pre-Socratics and even later went to Alexandria and it wasn't for a vacation.
I like how you describe one chacteristic but not both at the same time. Yeah, some Irish people have wooly hair, but I don't know any of them that have skin like burnt brass. Burnt brass is quite dark. And I mean. Quite. Dark.
good that you dont care, i never get why people would care if he was arab/ black or white. That doesnt mean he belongs only to those people. There is prophets who's been white, arab and black. Why would everyone fight over one man
Jesus certainly wasn't the same skin shade as say Max Von Sydow, Jeffrey Hunter or Jim Caveizel. Don't know about Cleopatra,but history tells us she was no looker and could have done with a treadmill in her palace
I just love Paul Mooney, and so handsome.....even today! It's a lot worse if you knew that the Indigenous people of America had everything taken from them including their own heritage as Indigenous Native Americans from the Americas. When you know your true history it's a lot worse than believing a fairy tale you we're brought here by a slave master than you were occupying the Americas for over 5,000 years and then some English dude shows up on your front lawn with a shotgun telling you this is a 211! took everything we had then stole our race and they one day decided they all look alike so take the 1000 Africans that actually were brought to America and the millions of Indigenous Native Americans and call them all African Americans ( you'll know the difference on your birth certificate! BC anyone born before 1970 black will say just that, black, or colored, or 'Negro which is Indigenous. Like seeing Dizzy Gillespie as an Indigenous Native American turned suddenly African American. Better watch yo ass saying that you are African American BC where is your green card? then you just like the Mexican are deemed an illegal immigrant, pack your duffels and get ready to go home!
Lol first off I find it hard to believe someone who can't tell the difference between there and their, also black arabs? LMAO said people don't wanna hear the truth.
