Jesus Christ! Now a form of white supremacy in the #BLM cancel culture!

Rastus · UNSTOPPABLE!

It might be about time Mr.Trumpdt changed the shade of his suntan for this election.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Actually, if we think about the region of the world and time period when Jesus existed, a much darker complexion would probably be more accurate.

You are aware that Jews are considered caucasians, right?

You are aware that artist were capable of drawing and making statues well before Christ, aren't you?

This is just one more instance where reality has escaped liberals and it's getting to the point where you're all becoming certifiably insane!

In 2020 when Trump wins the election I expect to see a lot more liberals doing the swan dive off buildings, and not just Clinton donors.

Clinton had a lot more people donate to her, and a lot more people vote for her.

Statistically speaking, since there are more Clinton donors/supporters, we are likely to see more of them commit suicide just due to the sheer numbers.

Archbishop of Canterbury says portrayal of Jesus as White should be reconsidered in light of Black Lives Matter protests By Sara Spary, CNN

Justin Welby standing in front of a building: Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has said the Anglican Church should reconsider its portrayal of Jesus as a White man.

Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury and head of the Church of England, has said the church should reconsider its portrayal of Jesus as a White man.

Speaking to the BBC Today Programme, Welby was asked whether the way the western church "portrays Jesus" needed to be "thought about again" and "re-imagined" in light of recent Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd.

"Yes, of course it does," he said, adding that Jesus was portrayed differently in countries around the world. He was regularly in touch with Anglican Church leaders from around the world, he said, who did not portray Jesus as White.

"You go into their churches and you don't see a White Jesus -- you see a Black Jesus, or Chinese Jesus, or a Middle Eastern Jesus -- which is of course the most accurate.

"You see a Fijian Jesus -- you see Jesus portrayed in as many ways as there are cultures, languages and understandings."

Welby added that the representations of Jesus were not, however, "who we worship" but rather served as a "reminder of the universality of the God who became fully human."

Addressing calls for monuments with links to the UK's imperialist history and slave trade to be removed, he said statues in Canterbury Cathedral would be put under review.

"We're going to be looking very carefully, and putting them in context and seeing if they all should be there," he said.

"The question [about whether they should all be there] arises, of course it does, and we've seen that all over the world."

The movement to take down and deface controversial statues has gained traction in the UK, as well as Europe and the US but has divided public opinion -- with critics slamming it as "mob rule" while others applaud it as a way of addressing "systematic racism."
