"Now the passage about being 'white and ruddy' again, does NOT refer to Solomon. After the first few chapters, the song and story shifts. The marriage has occurred. The Virgin and her lover Solomon has came together. Starting with verse 5, there is a shift in this story. Now Solomon writes about the anguish of the virgin because, soon, the king, Solomon will die. Solomon now become the priest/prophet that his is. Solomon is a king but he is also a prophet and now he is writing as an older man and begins to prophesize about the coming of JESUS CHRIST. So he writes that the virgins sees him as the BELOVED Jedidiah. However, Solomon tells the virgins, that there will be a greater BELOVED that will come! He then equates this GREATER BELOVED to the TEMPLE OF GOD. And he writes that he is 'WHITE AND RUDDY', and the word 'white' is italicized and translated as meaning SPRIITUALLY PURE!"
You are reading into the text many things that aren't there as a supposed biologist whom I don't take as an authority either way. I'm a Biblical maximilast and do not believe a lot of modern science in many fields. I don't twist the clear meanings of scripture and historical traditions to suit an unprecedented claim that the ancient Hebrews were black. I don't believe they were white (blond haired, blue eyed, pale skin) either but were of varying levels in between.
