Most Black Americans that I know have the Black Jesus up, right next to their photo of Obama. Someone could make a killing selling the sets.

Many people say that God was created in the image of man. I can definitely see portraying Christian images in a way that represents one’s own perception and culture, as an individual’s relationship to a higher power.
Definitely doesn’t look like Kenny Loggins or Prince Valiant like from childhood Sunday school 😆

Rock-hewn churches in lalibela, Ethiopia has Africans depicted in their cathedral art.
I love the old school Catholic Jesus who is a baby body with a six pack and adult face. The 1200-1400 before perspective was discovered in European art was peak art.

Then by the same logic we can’t blame white people for them doing it. Jesus was most likely MiddleEastern brown. Not white, not Black. Black people got Black J everywhere too.

The same people that are okay with white jesus are fighting against black ariel or any other fictional character that differs from what they first saw.

Interesting considering Christianity itself is not a European religion.

Doesn’t matter what race you make them, they’ll still only be as real as they were before.

I don’t get it? Black Jesus has been a thing since forever. I don’t know of any race that has practicing Christians that didn’t create depictions of Jesus in their race.

In my hometown they have an annual nativity scene exhibit where they have nativity scenes from all around the world and you get to see them in different art styles and different materials. That’s where I first saw Mary and Joseph wearing kimono with baby jesus.

Shit, African Christans should know that slaves were given a bible without the story of Moses freeing the slaves as well as other stories. It was fundamentally used as a tool over enslavement.
