Yes, the "we wuz kangs" group. The fact is, Jesus was a learned Jewish rabbi, and that has been documented in early Jewish writing, as well as the Roman church agreeing with that. He was also of the Pharisees, which is mainstream Judaism, and was from the north, at Galilee, where the Zealots lived (who would knife you if you broke their law). That is what started his rebellion, the Zealots versus the Romans.

The man called Jesus, today, was open minded, and brought back baptism, which goes back to washing one's hands before entering a temple. He supposedly discussed the more ancient esoteric beliefs, (Dead Sea Scrolls), which the Romans tried to destroy. The Jews even agree that baptism or washing/bathing was an old belief of theirs.
.
That being said, I have always been of the belief that the Jews are the people from Mesopotamia, and that they came from Babylon (there was no eighty years, or history before that), or around it. If so, they were most likely light skinned, because the ruling elite and priestly class from the north were. The statues and idols show the ruling elite as light skinned, black haired, and blue eyed from that area, (the dark-haired people).
.
Let's not forget the light skinned ruling elite in Egypt, shown on their own tombs, and in their temples. They also painted themselves with a reddish brown ocre type of body paint, and why this was done, nobody really knows. We also know that other elite in Egypt were Caucasian, with red hair in some instances, because their graves were explored.

Go back to the Kurgan hypothesis, which DNA supports, and it explains why. R1a and R1b. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurgan_hypothesis

That being said, if one reads the old literature on this, there were mixed races as far north as Russia and Ukraine, along the steppe and to the forks of the Volga, with the Eurasian nomads being akin to the American Indian, and described as dark. It was according to the tribe.
