thanx for the coments but i think it might be more appropriate if we as black ppl acquired a greater understanding of the effects of racial images on the black psyche. the depiction of a white jesus is inherently false. all the oldest sculptures and statues depict the shrine of the BLACK madonna. there all over europe. the madonna is MARY, JESUS' MOTHER. IF THE MOTHER IS BLACK THEN WHAT COLOR IS THE CHILD?? OK THEN. NOW, WHEN KING HEROD PUT OUT HIS DECREE TO KILL ALL THE BOY BABIES JOSEPH AND MARY TOOK JESUS AND HID IN EGYPT. THE ORIGINAL NAME FOR EGYPT WAS "KEMET", A WORD THAT TRANSLATED MEANS, "LAND OF THE BLACKS." WHY WOULD, AND HOW WOULD A WHITE JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH HIDE IN BLACK EGYPT? ITS NOT ABOUT THE COLOR, BUT IT IS ABOUT THE TRUTH. PEACE
