Wait. Don't statues of Jesus violate that whole "no idolatry" thing?

SMFH

FFS!

Any religious statues on state or public property should be removed.

However, such statues of symbols on private property should only be subject to that religious organization / community.

Technically unless people start erecting statues of Paul Bunyon, The Easter Bunny, Santa, The Tooth Fairy, Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk, etc. Shouldn't all fictional statues be torn down?

So let me get this right.........They want me to care about the ethnicity of someone who they claim raised people from the dead, walked on water, turned water into wine and rose from the dead? The colour of his skin is the bone of contention here?

So what's next? Will people start blocking black Santa? So tired of people's lunacy.

When you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

How about someone paints them brown or black or brindle.

The only good jesus statue is a toppled jesus statue.

Fine, I'll say it: Isn't that kinda racist?

Because if there's one thing that's going to stop cops harassing black people it's limiting their exposure to a Caucasian Jesus.

Well that is a definite symbol of white supremacy.

The statue pandemic is easily solved. Take them all down and put them in a special building where people can still see them if they like. Explain when they went up and why they came down. If this is not done you end up destroying them and lying about history. This lying is not good. Put the statues in the Smithsonian or some place.

Going a little deeper into the lying, everyone is so concerned now about uncle Ben and aunt Jemima. Whites especially. They just don't get it. White people made up lies about the house servants and cooks who took care of you and made your food, and yet, these people of color could not eat or drink with you in public. The lies continue as whites cannot understand why people of color are protesting today. Perhaps it is because white people have believed these lies (and wanted to believe them) for way too long.

White Jesus, black Jesus, everyone sees Jesus as being the color that they are. This is human nature. Wake up and decide if there even was a Jesus.

I’ve pissed off a lot of Fox News Christians with this one but if you read the Bible’s description of Jesus then look at a picture of colin Kaepernick with a tight fro.

Then you can’t deny that’s what Jesus must’ve looked like.
Oh and by the way I’ve in several conversations with African Americans have pointed out that last thing that I’d be if I was them would be a Christian.
Because that and the Old Testament was used to justify the enslavement and treatment of your ancestors.

Oh, Jesus Fucking Christ . . . . He had to have been a crazy ass bastard too so . . . and his middle name must really have been fucking because I have always heard it that way.

I'm all for this!

White jesus was from Minnesota!

I agree with him, tear them all down.

The Easter Bunny was Black. Live with it!

Topple and destroy ALL statues, etc, of this mythical Jeebus, the Saints and everything to do with religion.

How about if somebody just redecorated them some with lots of chrome and aquamarine inlays on the sides.

Shaun King should take Jesus's advice lol. Jesus said take the log out of your own eye before pointing out the speck in your brother's eye. In this case, he accused the lawyer of defending her whiteness, when he's clearly defending his darkness. Jesus isnt even real, get a grip people.

And we are against that, why?

Just wondering, but other than the raw material used, how is the skin color of a statue determined? Many historians assume that the "non-historical" character known as Jesus would have been of olive or brown complexion. How is this feature conveyed in sculpture and statues?

Statues can last for a long time but they are smashable. It is possible to smash statues. No doubt quite a number of them all over the world are offensive to many and their disappearance from the public space quite necessary.

Necessary also to remind ourselves that the fiction that Jesus and his daddy are gods, whether black or colorless, is a bigger problem to deal with.

Like dreams, gods are unreal. They can be forgotten and/ or ignored. They usually are.

What is unreal cannot be destroyed.
