My analysis:
The book of Song of Songs was
included in the bible because it pictures the love between Jesus and his bride
the church. Jesus calls his church black. The colour black is a picture of simplicity,
poverty, humility, rejection and oppression. Jesus came from a simple, humble
and poor family just like many black people. He was rejected, despised and oppressed
just like many black people. The colour black
depicts how the church of Jesus is despised just like the Lord Jesus Christ was
despised. It does not mean that only black people form the church. However,
some racist bible translators hate calling the church black. They instead call
the church dark. The term dark can mean dark brown, dark pink, dark green, dark
yellow. This is a racist trick.
Song of Solomon 1:5-6 King James Version (KJV)
5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

5 Do not
consider me that I am brown, because the sun hath altered my colour: the sons
of my mother have fought against me, they have made me the keeper in the
vineyards: my vineyard I have not kept.
6 shew
me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou liest in the
midday, lest I begin to wander after the flocks of thy companions.

So I haven’t tended my own vineyard!
