Clearly, the white-European culture has hijacked 'Jesus' by propagating images of him as a white, long-haired man, but they have also depicted the fruit taken from the tree in the Garden of Eden as an apple, which is un-biblical as depictions of Jesus. Ultimately, Jesus was killed not because of his skin color but what he stood for. So it bears remembering his actions rather than attempting to recreate his appearance.

Ethiopians speak Amharic, not Aramaic. A significant flaw in your logic. There is a large difference between Aramaic and Amharic. Ethiopians speak Amharic, not Aramaic.
