Also, what does the Bible say about black people? Do they ever get mentioned?
Jesus was colored. Just sayin.
Why is every statue I see at churches of black people?
What religion? I was forced to attend a number southern baptist churches when growing up. None of them had any statues that I can recall.
Do you know who the statues are meant to represent?
Didn’t God ever want anything to do with black people?
In reality? Humans invented god.
Biblically, he would probably want something to do with black people. Why else would he create them? But the bible is vague and contradictory, it can be interpreted that he created some people specifically to serve others, or that certain people are not his chosen people, or that they are incapable or unwilling to hear what god has to say.
Also, what does the Bible say about black people? Do they ever get mentioned?
Probably. The bible describes stories and characters in the middle east, including parts of Egypt and Africa. The bible does not explicitly state their skin color, though it is likely that characters from Kush, Ethiopia, etc would be black.
What religion?
Catholic.

I know, but my parents keep dragging me to churches.

There are verses supporting slavery.
Catholic.
I am not familiar enough with Catholicism to know. A quick search returned results about black Madonnas, which are apparently somewhat common in Catholic and Orthodox churches.

I wish I could help you. My parents would hit me if I didn’t want to get ready for church in the morning. I am in my 30s now and traumatized by the abuse they still normalize to this day.
There are verses supporting slavery.
Yes. And rape, and genocide. Biblical god is completely immoral. Most believers ignore the parts of the bible they don’t like, or they pretend there is some magical context where an all-powerful and loving god would ever need to hurt anybody.
I’m not sure why your question was downvoted. The grammar may have confused people, or maybe they perceived the question as racist somehow.
