Shaun King: Statues of Jesus Christ are 'form of white supremacy,' should be torn down

[GURPS]

Reactions on Twitter were mixed. Some agreed with King’s position, while others pointed out that cultures other than white Europeans have depicted Jesus in ways that resembled the local community.

Ethiopia, for instance, has depicted Jesus as black for more than 1,500 years. Likewise, images of Jesus appearing Asian can be found throughout the Far East.

King was once a leading voice in the Black Lives Matter movement but fell from grace when his race was questioned and he was accused of being a Caucasian falsely portraying himself as black.

How is the fake black guy still around?

I thought they got rid of him with the fake black woman.

Well while I sit and watch while they tear down the statues and destroy history, when they come to my church somebody is going to suffer.

I'm a strong Old Testament guy, so take that for what it is worth.

I wonder if this moron understands that Denmark came about 5 centuries after Jesus.

Maybe they should tear down the Martin Luther King Jr statue and replace it with black marble?

Isn't he a mulatto or something?

Maybe the Swiss guards at the vatican are sharpening their spears.

Why do they care which made up color their made up deity is? They can have a black Jesus, a white Jesus, and a hispanic Jesus (actually we have lots of those) if they want. No one cares what color pasta the flying spaghetti monster is depicted as being.

He's marinara colored.

This is bizarre.

Do you know what race the Buddha was? Guess what? He was not Far East or Chinese or Thai or Vietnamese or any of that.
He was Indian. NORTHERN India, actually. And born rich.

But almost every depiction you've ever seen of him looks Oriental. Because Buddhism didn't take root in India as much as it did elsewhere.
This HAPPENS. Ever hear that Christmas song "Some Children"? The race of the Son of God is irrelevant. The Shroud suggests a man looking very much like your typical Middle East Jew.

Ah huh ..... that would make ' Black Jesus ' just as fake

I don't care if it rains or freezes as long as I've got my plastic Jesus sitting on the dashboard of my car.

It comes in colors pink and pleasant and glows in the dark because it's iridescent. Take it with you when you travel far.
