    The historical Jesus of Nazareth was white like all the natives of the area.

    But for Christians, Jesus of Nazareth is also God and part of the Holy Trinity therefore he is also black, oriental, native american and every race.
    Since God made humans to resemble him.

    So it is not wrong to depict Jesus as black. We don't worship Jesus the man but Jesus the god.

    Now what the hell you gonna think?

    Art historians say that the original painting was a Byzantine icon created around the sixth or ninth century. They agree that Prince Władysław brought it to the monastery in the 14th century.

    This one is the most famous, but there's a history of black Madonna and black Jesus throughout Europe dating back to the all the way back.

    Are you trying to tell me that Jesus Christ can’t hit a curve ball?

    Activist Shaun King lives lavishly in lakefront New Jersey home

    https://nypost.com/2021/07/31/activist-shaun-king-lives-lavishly-in-lakefront-nj-home/

    excerpt:

    Samaria Rice — whose 12-year-old son Tamir was shot dead by cops in Cleveland in November 2014 — blasted King on social media, accusing him of soliciting funds in her dead son’s name without her permission and even about his own identity as black or biracial.

    “Personally I don’t understand how you sleep at night,” she wrote in an Instagram post addressed to King last month, after the activist revealed details of a personal conversation he had with Rice. “I never gave you permission to raise nothing.. Along with the united states, you robbed me for the death of my son.”

    “You are a selfish self-centered person and God will deal with you…,” continued Rice, who heads up a foundation named for her son.

    King co-founded the Real Justice political action committee in 2017 with former Black Lives Matter leader Patrisse Cullors, who resigned from BLM a month after The Post revealed she had spent more than $3 million on real estate in the US.

    The federal PAC helps to elect progressive district attorneys across the country to “fight to end structural racism,” according to the group’s website, taking in more than $3.2 million from 2019 to 2020.

    Of those funds, Real Justice doled out $460,000 in “consulting” fees to three companies: Social Practice LLC, Bernal Alto LLC and Middle Seat Consulting LLC, which are controlled by some members of the political action committee, including treasurer Rebecca Bond, according to a report.

    Other PAC payments included $46,330 to Janaya and Patrisse Consulting, a company run by Cullors and her wife Janaya Khan. Those payments were made between 2017 and 2020, according to the Federal Election Commission.

    Do Christians really believe that God, the creator, has a human form? Strange.

    How did I miss this. Who cares what race Jesus is.. or statues about a made up figure. This would be like crying about a black Superman… Oh wait, OP will likely cry about that too.

    I'd imagine he'd look more like a middle easterner, you know like those sand people we lovingly visited ~25 years ago.

    The white image of Christ is really Cesare Borgia
    And the second son of Pope Alexander
    The Sixth of Rome and once the picture was shown
    That's how the devils tricked my dome

    I agree that images of white Jesus are racist. However, I'm not aware of any white Jesus images or statues that are maintained by the government. So I don't think there's much to be done here.
