I have heard many discussions that Christianity is a white man's religion. What are people talking about? Many Blacks will even reject Christ because of the poor WHITE experience here in America and abroad.
They would rather be Muslim because of what they say was done in the name of "Christianity". Really, in the name of Christianity??? Muhammad WAS WHITE (THIS IS FOR ANOTHER POST)! Time to debunk some claims of Blacks and Whites.
Well, it is clear that Christianity is not a white man's religion because there are a number of people of the black race within the Word. But going back to the beginning, it is clear that we all come from the same two people. Adam and Eve obviously were created with the genes to produce people of all races so, it could be that if not both one, maybe Eve -was black, for the blend of all races makes black. Furthermore, it is clear that Noah and his son's too produced people of all races because after the flood they repopulated the planet.
And it is clear that Moses' children with his wife- his second wife Tharbis, would be mixed and probably be a polished bronze complexion .
Zipporah or Tzipora (/ˈzɪpərə, zɪˈpɔːrə/; Hebrew: צִפוֹרָה, Tsippōrāh, "bird") is mentioned in the Book of Exodus as the wife of Moses, and the daughter of Reuel/Jethro, the priest or prince of Midian. Not Tharbis. Tharbis was a Black woman Moses agreed on with the condition that she deliver the Ethiopians into his hand. Tharbis did so and after Moses destroyed the Ethiopians, he married Tharbis (Jos 2:10).
Moses's second wife was not white she was Cushite . Cushite itself means black, and it is true that they were a dark-skinned people. They were of a region south of Ethiopia.
Excerpt from an article by John Piper 9Marks
Moses, a Jew, apparently married a black African and was approved by God.
We learn in Numbers that “Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman” (Num. 12:1). A Cushite is from Cush, a region south of Ethiopia, where the people are known for their black skin. We know this because of Jeremiah 13:23: “Can the Ethiopian [the same Hebrew word translated “Cushite” in Numbers 12:1] change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then also you can do good who are accustomed to do evil.” Attention is drawn to the difference of the skin of the Cushite people.
In his book From Every People and Nation: A Biblical Theology of Race, Daniel Hays writes that Cush “is used regularly to refer to the area south of Egypt, and above the cataracts on the Nile, where a Black African civilization flourished for over two thousand years. Thus, it is quite clear that Moses marries a Black African woman” (71).
In response to Miriam’s criticism, God does not get angry at Moses; he gets angry at Miriam. The criticism has to do with Moses’ marriage and Moses’ authority. The most explicit statement relates to the marriage: “Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman.” Then God strikes Miriam with leprosy. Why? Consider this possibility. In God’s anger at Miriam, Moses’ sister, God says in effect, “You like being light-skinned Miriam? I’ll make you light-skinned.” So, we read, “When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, like snow” (Num. 12:10)
God says not a critical word against Moses for marrying a black Cushite woman. But when Miriam criticizes God’s chosen leader for this marriage God strikes her skin with white leprosy. If you ever thought black was a biblical symbol for uncleanness, be careful; a worse white uncleanness could come upon you.

The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD…
Isaiah 60:1-6,9
60Arise, shine; for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
2 For darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and his glory will appear over you.
3 Nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
4 Lift up your eyes and look around;
they all gather together, they come to you;
your sons shall come from far away,
and your daughters shall be carried on their nurses’ arms.
5 Then you shall see and be radiant;
your heart shall thrill and rejoice,*
because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you,
the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6 A multitude of camels shall cover you,
the young camels of Midian and Ephah;
all those from Sheba shall come.
They shall bring gold and frankincense,
and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord.
9 For the coastlands shall wait for me,
the ships of Tarshish first,
to bring your children from far away,
their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God,
and for the Holy One of Israel,
because he has glorified you.

A Message to Cush Isaiah 18:6-7
…6They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey, and to the beasts of the land. The birds will feed on them in summer, and all the wild animals in winter. 7At that time gifts will be brought to the LORD of Hosts— from a people tall and smooth-skinned, from a people widely feared, from a powerful nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers— to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the LORD of Hosts.
Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.
