Q. I know Rev. Martin Luther King - said a man should not be judged by the color of his skin. I also know of some Israelis who refer to black Africans as Kushi which is similar to the N word. So I wondered if there was any biblical statements which refer to skin color in particular.

4. [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
9. The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.

Q. They were pretty popular a few years ago but with all the hard covers out there i was just wondering what everyone still thinks of skins for iphones and other devices from companies like gelaskins, skinit etc...?
