Racism In Religion (Is Jesus Wrongly Depicted?)

Racism In Religion (Is Jesus Wrongly Depicted?) June 14, 2014

Although it was never supposed to, Christianity inadvertently played a major role in spreading racism and white supremacy. Something that was meant to enlighten mankind has instead been one of the largest sources of brainwashing and evil. Instead of spreading love, wisdom, and a connection to The Light, religion has often caused stunted social advancement, lost or destroyed history, science and art, and has caused several wars and death because of its misguided mismanagement. Below are some of the ways religion and Christianity in the hands of the imprudent has steered mankind toward the darkness of racial inequality.

Let’s get right to it with no chaser: If there was a Jesus, he wouldn’t have looked anything like the images we’re familiar with. The pictures of Jesus, Mary and the saints we see everywhere and in every Catholic Church are apocryphal and very inaccurate. Based on extensive research, the History Channel documented the work of expert historians and posted a picture of what the real Jesus might have looked like, and it’s incredibly different from most popular paintings of Christ. Jesus’ lineage can be traced throughout Africa and the Middle East, yet somehow he’s usually portrayed with blue eyes or fair long hair. In actuality, because he was a Galilean Jew in that period, he was probably much darker with shorter, curlier hair texture. 

Also from factual research, Jesus has black African ancestry from both Mary and Joseph. For those that only acknowledge Mary’s ancestry, the result is still the same. Other descriptions of Jesus and some of his family ties have been conveniently destroyed; however, we know enough to decipher more truthful depictions. Even though we know all of this in this day and age, the fraudulent images of Christ are still recognized and prevalent. Regardless of what we all know, we still cling to the absurd images pushed on us that were promoted for centuries.

How this representation of Christ came to be is simple: When Christianity expanded all over the world, each culture painted Jesus as they themselves looked for local approval. Years after Christ’s death, Christianity transformed into a very structured, organized religion. Like many things men create, Christianity initially had the best intentions to spread Christ’s message, but resulted in various negative consequences with political, racial and cultural posturing.
