“Of Course, Jesus Christ is White”
Before writing this article, I ask for forgiveness from all God Fearing Christian who may be offended by the point I am trying to make. When I say Christians, I mean everyone who confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Everyone who claims that God is their Father is my Brother or Sister, regardless of any other factors.
For a long time now, I have tried to figure out why Negroes or Blacks or African Americans, whatever label you choose, want so badly to act like and have the respect of White People. The reason is very simple; most African Americans are very religious and have a strong belief in their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I do too. Every since I first heard about Jesus, he has been portrayed as a young White Man. Therefore, to love and act like White People is only being Christ Like. We Blacks want to act like Christ so we can have Eternal Life in heaven with our Lord and since Jesus is White, we want act and be White also.
One thing about Christ is not debatable, Jesus is Jewish and “In Judaism, the making of any representation of God is strictly forbidden, as is the fashioning of any “graven image”. Islam has also adhered to this rule.” this quote from Britannica Online. This means that no one knows what God looks like and God himself forbids any images that represent his likeness.
Think about it, when Colored Politicians put the desires and comfort of White People before the needs and health concerns of the African Americans who elected them, they are not betraying their relatives, neighbors and friends; they are only being good Christians. In Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, North Carolina, we have some of the best Christian Politician in the world when it comes to taking care of the needs of the White Community because it is the Christian thing to do.
To my White Brothers and Sisters in Christ, you have been brain washed by the same images of Jesus being a young White Man. If you do not think so, consider this, how would Jesus be portrayed if people of color governed this country. For me, a picture of Jesus as a White Man is an image. If the common portrayal of Jesus is accurate, then White People should be treated as superiors to all other people because they are the image of God. But because God knows and understands everything, Deuteronomy 5:8 says, “Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:” I believe this was included so that one race of people would not consider themselves better than all other races and people because they looked like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
If we believe what Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” all men and all races and all cultures were made in the image of God because God said this before the first man was created. It is not our birth right that makes us Christ Like, it is the confession of Jesus as our Lord and Savior and our willingness to follow him.
There is no doubt that Jesus was born on the continent of Africa, making him an African. For those of you on the Christian Right, I am sure you want Jesus to be an American. Therefore, it follows that Jesus Christ is more closely identified as being African American than anything else. This conclusion is just as stupid as Christ Jesus being a young White Man. Now will you agree with me that Jesus Christ far exceeds any images that mortal men can conceive?
