1. Because God created the Black man “First!”
– from the “Dust” of the “Ground” (“Dark- brown”) in color
– this makes him very special (Gen.2:7). And this is the first reason “Why” the Black man is special.
And “All” the other men of lighter shades of skin color descended from him! This puts the Black man in a very
special category when compared to other men.
His body structure is more muscular, and his physical stamina
far exceeds other men. We see this in theNBA(Black dominated),Golf(Tiger Woods - Black man), Running Marathons (Africans always win), Football, and most physical competitions.
That’s because the Black man is God’s “Original” design.
2. So, let us see if Scripture follows through with this initial unveiling of how special the Black man is.
3. Sing Solomon. Even though the world openly recognizes that king Solomon was a Black man, it is a good thing to have the Scripture describe Solomon’s physical features as a (Black
man) as well. So, Scripture tells us that Solomon was a “Good-looking” (Handsome Black man); S.O.S. 1:16 -describing his Hair "Locks” as “Wavy” and “Black” like a raven, (5:11).
4. Scripture also tells us that Solomon’s Black father (King David) was also “Handsome,” (1 Sam.16:12). This confirms how special Black men are because these “2” were the greatest “Kings” of Ancient Israel – and they were Black!
5. When Israel was besieged by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, he required those “Male” captives from “Judah”
(Black tribe of Israel), meet his high standards in order to work
in his realm.
This was his requirements:
The men had to have “No blemish,” (perfect body); “Good-looking,” “Quick to learn,” and “Gifted in wisdom,”
(Dan.1:3-4).
6. So, after the king Nebuchadnezzar examined these “Dar-skinned” men of “Judah,” – he found them to
be “10” times better than his own men within his kingdom and realm (Dan.1:20).
So, let us Black people lean into God’s revelation of the roles Black men played in the Bible.
Our people need to know these things!
God just might use our biblical contributions to bring young Black men back to Himself!
