Ram and Krishna were both incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Both of them were dark negroid.
Ram was an human avatar and ideal man. He sacrificed kingdom for satisfyng his father's vow. Later he sacrificed his beloved wife bcoz his countrymen had doubts about her chastity. He did not marry anybody and died yearning for her. Some people say that was wrong, but for me it was one of his highest sacrifices, he wanted to show that as he was a king, first duty was to his kingdom and its people and his personal feeling came next. In Ramayan, God Vishnu led a human being's life, went through different sorrows and happiness of a man without ever realizing he was a god.
In Krishna avatar, God was fully aware of his ability that it was god. So you will find the god flamboyant here. He married all the women who had wanted to be companion of the God Vishnu. God gives Gita in this.

I am not a linguistic chauvinist. My mother toungue is tamil. But I respect all languages.
But whatever I said is true. Meaning of Krishna in Sanskrit is dark. Both rama and krishna are natives of India and were original inhabitants
