Shaun King: It's Time To Tear Down Images Of White Jesus
2020-06-23
[Hot Air] It’s extremely on-brand for America 2020 that wokesters would get bored with "Black Lives Matter" just as the idea’s gaining acceptance and proceed immediately to "Crucify White Jesus."
Talcum X grifting again
Or, as I assume King would prefer to phrase it, "Make Jesus Semitic Again."

Either way, if you’re out to smash idols, there’s no sense messing around with small potatoes like George Washington. Go for the gold.

Stephen "redsteeze" Miller reminds me that King was a featured speaker at Bernie Sanders’s campaign launch in 2019. Not all Bernie admirers were thrilled by his affiliation with the candidate, though: "I woke up this morning to once again see Shaun King trending, and my immediate reaction was, ’What the hell did he do this time?'" To think, in an alternate universe where Sanders went on to win the Democratic nomination, the status of "white Jesus" is suddenly a major issue in the upcoming presidential election.

I regret that it isn’t. Out of sheer morbid curiosity, I’d like to see what Trump would do with that one.

#9  They just need national bloodshed to keep the chaos alive for November and keep attention off of what the progressive socialists offer as president, a warmed over dotard and a black female radical in the wings to cement the end of the republic. They are succeeding in making the election about voting against Trump and not at all about policy and what would happen if the radical left won the tools needed to commit national suicide.

#7  This call to destroy “White Jesus” is profoundly parochial and ignorant.

Seems that is what we are dealing with these days--American Taliban.

#6  A liberal artist relation casually threw into a Facebook conversation the scornful comment that Jesus is “dark skinned and Hebrew“ a week ago, contrasting that reality to the fair, blue-eyed images in European and American churches. She did it just to insult my religious Christian mother-in-law, whose niece she is, assuming bigotry and ignorance that does not exist, not to mention forgiveness and tolerance that does.

Historically, Christian artists have depicted Jesus looking like the local congregants. So images from the early centuries in Ethiopia and Libya show him with decidedly African features, in China as Han Chinese, while more recentlyGauguin painted him bright yellow.

This call to destroy “White Jesus” is profoundly parochial and ignorant.

#4  The Left doesn't realize they're making the lists for us for when they lose the Civil War. Do on to the Left what they did to everyone else in the 20th Century.

#1  Well there is that Black Madonna in the Benedictine Abbey of Einsiedeln, SZ, but I thought that it resulted from smoke damage from a French invasion.
