The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am morning; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
I'm not totally certain if its a skin color or a metaphor, but I've heard this verse before be interpreted as a skin color. But just because someone says they're black doesn't mean African. There are caucasions who are very dark from being in the sun so much, for example. People then spent many hours walking outside in the sun- so I think even olive skinned Jews would have been very dark. God bless.
Where those people of darker complexion as a group?
Does this mean something totally different?

Maybe the commentary will help:
