Well, did you ever look at the back cover of the old songbooks and see the heavenly choir- all white, dressed in white with white wings, all american, no asian, none but white people. Blacks should have taken note of that.
Black people will be white in the new system

Firstly wow , how many current Witnesses know about this?
Why were the white people in the pictures all Americans? Is that Britishist or Australianist? What about Canadians , Germans etc ?
They certainly were a prejudiced lot .

jhine, in the early days of the WT publications, prior to 1950, very few if any black people were pictured. Even in Russell's days the conventions were segregated by race, because of the laws in the South (Jim Crow). Gradually the WTS got in step with the times and the laws changed. https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/quotes/black-skin.php
