But some people are very angry that they would dare use a white image of Jesus, even going so far as to say it’s because of “white supremacy.” Ok then.
Look ye on these idiots and despair:
This White Jesus documentary on CNN so timely. day after black history month is outta here

Why is @cnn continuing w. the lie that "historical" Jesus was "white"?
White supremacy and the white racial frame are powerful drugs.

@CNN The fist lie without watching the show, is that white image of Jesus you are showing. Jesus was NEVER white.

Cnn has a new show called finding Jesus and the picture of Jesus was white. Show about being accurate with an inaccurate picture of him.

Step 1 for CNN's new special, "Finding Jesus" is to stop looking for a blond haired, blue-eyed, white man.
