The latter, Black Hebrew Israelites, are a group of Black people who claim that they are the original Jews but are not recognized by the traditional Jewish community as being Jewish.
There are also some Sephardic Jews that can be quite dark in color. There was a girl in my HS who was black and a Sephardic Jew, and considered to be a real Jew by the Jewish community.

This is like asking if there's such a thing as a "white Jew". I often wondered how Pharaoh's daughter was able to trick her dad and all of Egypt for all those years. Silly me, she had Moses lie in a tanning bed every morning and wear a wig all day. Let's not forget Joseph, he was much older when he started his tanning sessions and some how he fooled his brothers, who for crying out loud thought he was an Egyptian. Try thinking beyond Europe and North America. The world is a very big place. Beware of those trees you might miss that forest.

Jewish is both an ethnic group and a religion. As an ethnic group they are more of the white persuasion. But as any religion can accept converts, there's no reason you can't have a black Jew.

What I wonder about on that point: Does the convert to Judaism ever become fully recognized as Jewish both religiously and ethnically? I suppose this may vary by Jewish sect, but I'm curious to know. Do you have to be Jewish by blood to be considered fully Jewish?

There is so much ignorance about Judaism on this thread I am stunned.... Folks ought to do some reading before they open their mouths.

Black Ethiopian Jews.
YouTube - The Jews of Ethiopia

YouTube - Ethiopian Jews Build a New Life in Israel
Black Jews from other parts of Africa.
And there are Jews who look like "asians" because they lived in India at the border of China for a couple thousand years.
