“There are so many Biblical references telling us that Jesus Christ had the features of all negritude beings”
_________________________
“Two young boys, one white, the other black. They died and went to Heaven. They stopped at the Pearly Gates just before God allowed them to enter His Kingdom.
“God, are you white, or are you black?” The white boy asked, in his attempt to prove to the black boy that God is white.
“I am who I am.” God hollered back.
“You see, He is a white man.” The white boy said to the black boy.
“No. He didn’t say that.” The black retorted back to the white boy.
“Yes, He did. If He were black, he would have said; “I is who I is…”
Not my joke.
Would you change your mind and walk out on me, if I told you that Jesus Christ was black? Why has this one thorny issue affected the human race like nothing else? Why would a whole race of people in black Africa refuse to replace the false Images of Jesus Christ, His immediate family of Joseph and Mary, to black images of their true self?
I’ll tell you. And it will shock you. The white man is adept at a lot of things. And the singular, most important thing to him is the image of him as the quintessence of all images of man…both in the ether, and in the halls where man congregates…for anything. The Cistern Chapel…and all Renaissance paintings of God, His Angels, including the vast renditions of all prophets in the old and new testaments in the build-up of Christendom are of white people. All lies. But the rest of the world’s non-whites accepted the falsehood and moved on without questioning well the falsehoods.
The reason the black race took the crap the white man sprayed into his face, and forced him to swallow the crappy vignettes hook, line and sinker, with the well-seasoned dollops of deep-fried sugared meat and fish patty balls stamped with mediterranean olives and Caspian Sea Caviar, was because they couldn’t smell the feces strategically placed under the saran wrap of goodies. The black African is still being force-fed this acrimony because he values the white man’s opinion of things. Even among blacks in the great US 0F A, they wouldn’t remove these false images from the walls of their churches, because to do so would be to smack God in the face. Blacks in Africa are worse with this; they would rather worship a while Jesus, than a black one.
The most dominant Icons standing in the homes of these Africans are that of The Blessed Virgin Mary tucked in wall niches as a white, blue-eyed Woman. You see, whatever the white man says stands. God, to the black race, couldn’t be black. Jesus Christ, therefore had to be a white man. If Mel Gibson had made the PASSION OF THE CHRIST, with a black man cast as Jesus, the movie would have crashed at the Box-office. Even black people would not have seen the movie on the widescreen. Mel Gibson knew what he was doing. He couldn’t have sunk thirty million dollars of his money in a film like that to tell the truth about the Man, Yeshua…Jesus Christ…that He was a brother. If it were my money, as a black man making the film, I would dare not cast a black man, either…knowing the race I was making the film for. Why are blacks not telling these stories of pure deceit by the white man? Why are black American Churches not leading the way?
If the black American Churches would lead the way, pull down the white images of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and replace them with black ones, the world of blacks would follow. But they are scared to death to do so. It implies that they aren’t too sure that The Savior was a black man when He was here. They are scared to their bones that demoting Jesus from a solid white man, blue-eyed with golden blonde locks, to a black, nappy-haired Negro, is tantamount to spitting into God’s Face. There are so many Biblical references telling us that Jesus Christ had the features of all negritude beings. Why then are blacks afraid to yank these false images for the one they believe is true, or close enough? Pharaohs. David. Solomon. Moses. All badasses. In the mind of the white race, all white. Ask any black person who lived in the sixties and seventies, and they will tell you that Jesus was white. Most of them know now that the chances of Him as a white man had been debunked. But they would rather not upset the seven-hundred-year-old BS. It has been proven that the first human on the face of the earth was from Africa…as a black person. And when it was time for Jesus Christ to come to earth, He came as a white man. Yeah, go figure that one. Apparently, some people aren’t using their minds…
The Catholic Church that I belong to, is the worst propagator of this nonsense. The Catholic Church painted Jesus Christ white…with all the other ills they promulgated. There are hidden Icons in the Vatican…of black Images of Mother and Son. If anyone is expecting the white race to tell the truth about this, forget it. They will hold the hot poker still, in place, up our rear ends, until we are seared, like we aren’t already baked crisp . You know, I am not one to blame the white man entirely for this. If Louis Farrakhan was a Christian, he would preach with the Images of black Jesus Christ in his church.
