Not exactly sure what you think you proved by providing the other verses? What do you think debunks the fact that visage means appearance and matches with what we know about famine induced hyper-pigmentation? For example you seem to be ignorant of the fact that rubies are naturally brown and ruddy is a dark reddish brown. I am eager to destroy each one of your points.Air Jordans werent invented during the time of Jesus. However we know that the Hebrews were described as "their visage was Black as coal". No one is Black as coal unless they are....well Black.You'll be the first. Didnt god make people in his image?As well as Jesus that was black. Skin of bronze as the Bible describes him. I think Hitler liked BBC. He was just embarrassed [emoji30].

Jesus wasn't black, and i can prove it.
There have been many decades of archaeological digs in the Middle East. Not a single pair of Air Jordans have been unearthed.
Bible Gateway passage: Lamentations 4:8-10 - King James Version
"Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick."
Perhaps you should include some context when you attempt to use Scripture.
From the verse immediately prior:
"Their princes were brighter than snow and whiter than milk, their bodies more ruddy than rubies, their appearance like lapis lazuli.”
Lamentations 4:7 NIV

If we use only your verse, we are to believe that Jews were black, unrecognizable as people, with dry, wrinkled skin, mere skeletons walking around.
They were also cannibals, if you take this one out of context:
“With their own hands compassionate women have cooked their own children, who became their food when my people were destroyed.”

Now, will you actually be honest and admit that verse was describing people under punishment and in very dire straits, and not describing their general appearance? If not, you'll be forced to acknowledge that they were black people being ruled by white people, and the next step will be to name those white people.
