Black Jesus and Putin
Recently, the so-called evil dictator and despot from Russia, Vladimir Putin, did something that has the entire Caucasian Christian religious community in a quandary. Putin ordered an ancient religious artifact that has been hidden away from the world for hundreds of years be placed on full display in the Russian equivalent of the U.S. Capitol Building in D.C., for the world to witness.
The interesting thing about the artifacts from the 14th and 15th century were the paintings of Jesus Christ, Mary and the Arc Angels were all depicted as Black people.
I must stop here to say that in reality, there is no scientific or archeological evidence that the man called Jesus existed other than in our faith in a bible that was written two centuries after his alleged crucifixion. Don’t mean to offend anyone. But I’m trying to keep it real.
I long ago realized my entire world view has been influenced by the image of a blond, blue-eyed deity imprinted in my mind’s eye by the Christian imageries in my church and on the walls of my maternal grandmother’s home. As a youth, I subconsciously learned to believe people who looked like Jesus were higher superior beings, and the world around me proved it every day where blond blue-eyed people owned and controlled everything in my world.
In many ways I understand why Caucasians have an innate sense of superiority over other races, because they genially believe they are the people of Jesus Christ, the world’s Lord and Savior.
I have written several times on why Black people are the only race in the world that worships a God that doesn’t look like them.
I recently watched a YouTube talking head on the Putin subject and he proposed a conspiracy theory complaining that Putin released the iconic images to create racial and religious discord in the world in an attempt to ingratiate Russia with Black people across the world. He believes, the Russians will invade America, and the Negroes would side with the evil Russians against the government.
Actually that’s not a bad idea. What America propaganda does not allow Americans to know is Russia never participated in the slave trade. Russia never colonized Africa, unlike every other European country. And few Americans understand that had it not been for Russian tenacity, I might be writing this in German. The Russian people won WW II for the world, losing 25 million people in doing so. (America lost about a half million people).
Let’s face it, there may very well come a time when the USA may attempt to purge America of their Black Hamas. We can use an ally.
I understand a conversation in some religious circles surrounding whether future published images of Jesus Christ be more inclusive of Black Jesus imagery in the white churches. Will white parishioners be willing to genuflect before a Black Jesus and Mary? This is a direct threat to the underpinning of white supremacy and could positively change the world in profound ways.
