Same deal with Virgen da Guadalupe.

It's because of the fact that historically whites have never respected other races, so of course they couldn't allow an important figure like Jesus to be anything other than white.

IMHO The followers and believers of Christianity would not have taken a colored man seriously..

Do you believe Jesus is God? Just wondering.

So true.  Could you imagine a white supremacist giving praise to a black Jesus.  Wouldn't happen.  I truly believe that Jesus was of middle eastern descent.  I mean, come on, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Jerusalem where they are predominantly middle eastern.

Of course they made him look like a European for Europeans. Conversion on a bigger scale came about 1500 years later. No way they would have changed the image then.
