WHO TOLD YOU THAT DARK SKIN WAS UGLY?
‘If you’re black…get back!’ ‘If you’re brown…stick around.’ ‘If you’re light…you’re alright.’ Seems kind of ridiculous doesn’t it? To place a value-tag on a person’s beauty based simply on the color-shade of their skin is ridiculous; but, believe it or not, that’s EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE in America for decades. In fact, to this very day, you still have millions of so-called African American, Native American Indians and Hispanic people with this non- sense ingrained into their psyches. Imagine being born with deep, rich, chocolaty brown skin, and looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking that the image that’s looking back at you is ‘ugly.’ Imagine thinking that you’re not as attractive as someone with a lighter shade of brown skin or, screeeeeeeeech, (stop-the-presses),… a ‘white’ person.
Who told you that?
First of all, white people are not white; they’re red! The only white people that I’ve ever seen are Ronald McDonald and Bozo The Clown, all the rest of them are different shades of red. According to the KJV Holy Bible, the Caucasian race comes from Isaac and Rebecca’s son Esau. In the book of Genesis 25:25, Esau was described as, ‘red’ when he was born out of his mother’s womb. The so-called Blacks, Native American Indians and Hispanics are different shades of brown, like the earth’s soil. The book of Jeremiah 14:2 tells you that the (true) Jews are,
‘Black unto the ground.’ If you analyze the earth’s soil you find that it comes in various shades of brown, from a light sandy-brown to a deep, rich, chocolaty brown. It’s ironic that the deep, rich, chocolaty colored soil is called ‘top’ soil, isn’t it?
So, back to the original question, who told you that dark skin was ugly? Could it have been the people who have a vested interest in keeping our people in an inferior, slave mentality? Or maybe it was the people who have a vested interest in continuing to propagate the standard image of beauty that has been spread throughout the world? (You know the image that I’m talking about, the image of a Caucasian man or woman with rusty blonde hair and light blue eyes). Who ever told you this was very cleaver in the way it was done. They didn’t come right out and say that dark skin was ugly; but, through years and years of negative portrayals in the media and negative ‘black’ images juxtaposed with positive and favorable ‘white’ images, people grew to accept the notion, (that people with dark skin were less attractive), as fact. It seems impossible to have an entire race of people thinking that something was wrong with them simply because of the color of their skin; but, even to this very day, you still have people of Negroid, Native American Indian, and Hispanic decent who think that way.
It’s time to ((Snap)) out of this spell that we under, people. It’s time to WAKE UP and see things the way they truly are. The way things ‘truly’ are, is the way God intended for them to be, and that goes for EVERYTHING including skin color! People with deep, dark colored skin are some of the most beautiful people on earth! In fact, the deep, dark shade is the ROYAL skin complexion. In the book of KJV Songs of Solomon 1:5 King Solomon described himself as, “black but comely (meaning beautiful).” In revelations 1:15 Jesus Christ is clearly described as a black man. It says, “His feet like unto fine brass, (brown) as if they burned in a furnace.” If you take white rice and burn it in a furnace, what color is it going to turn? Don’t be afraid to say it, BLACK! So now, let’s follow the logic here, if God himself had deep, dark, chocolaty brown skin when he walked on the earth, how in the world could it possibly be …ugly? You’re right, IT CAN’T BE UGLY…why? Because God wouldn’t chose anything ugly for himself!
So now, if you happened to be blessed with deep, dark, chocolaty brown skin, I’ll ask you again…who told you that it was ugly??

Shalam Sir,
Black is beautiful in the many shades that we come in. It is a blessing that I walk around with this beautiful complexion with no need to tan or altar my complextion in any way. God has already created us to be a special people on the face of this earth. Who would want to be “Red” or “Pale” with the look of death, leprous and sickly? I’m greatful and proud the way God created me and my people. Proud to be an Israelite.
[Bishop & High Priest Saparahyak's response]
There was a time in the 70’s when ‘black’ people used to say things like,”I’m Black and I’m Proud!” or, ” Black is Beautiful!”…I’m happy to say that now, since the Comforter has arrived, ‘black’ people are starting to SEE how beautiful we are, and really be PROUD about it! ..To take another slogan from the 70’s…”Right On Brotha”..”Right On Sista”…I am also ‘proud’ to be an Israelite!

Who told me that black skin was ugly? My 4th grade Teacher Patricia Davis. Her pale bulldog face that reeked sewage and rabbies out her mouth slapped me when I punched her freckled Oppie looking student in his mouth. But I haven’t checked the obituraries lately. And Ahch I seen spotted people like Leviticus 13th 14th chapter They blood cot skin eat they bones to the marrow while they stand alive scrath and sigh for the double until their double pain.
