Is It Racist to Portray Jesus as White? | Good Morning Britain
After calls last week by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the church to reconsider its portrayal of Jesus as White, the Dean of St Albans Jeffrey John has made the decision to cover up a three-part picture of the virgin Mary with shepherds and kings with a portrait of the last supper depicting Jesus as Black by White British artist Lorna May Wadsworth. The decade-old painting which has been shot at when it was last displayed, features Jamaican born model Tafari Hinds will be in situ until October which is Black History Month.

It is not the skin colour of Jesus but the power and influence of who he was.
Jesus would have brown eyes and who cares about the colour of his skin? He can be any colour to me ☺️I will still love him Amen🙏and we are all Gods children no matter the colour,🙏💖

Why are you so certain what colour his eyes were and not his skin if colour doesn't matter to you ?

@@CoreyChappellthere never has been and never will be a true depiction of him. 1) Because of time, but more importantly 2) People use their imaginations when creating him and do so in their own likeness. I liked black Jesus over the white Jesus when whey were trying to indoctrinate me. Black Jesus is the closest to what could even be considered an “accurate” representation.

Why didn't you simply PAINT the 'true historic representation'? Answer - because they you wouldn't have received all this undeserved media attention.
It's not racist to say Jesus was white it's pure ignorance as Jesus was Jewish with dark skin and black hair...

It’s also racist. Notice how she says “we” have accepted for so many ways. By we, she does not mean POC. White is seen as “normal” at least where I come from and where I see most white representations of Jesus and POC is “other”. To make Jesus white is to also make him not colored which is in fact racist.
Jesus wasnt white he was Levantian lol
What about people being portrayed as black when we know they were white or at least not black as Cleopatra was recently much to the displeasure of Egyptians.

Coop harder. He was a middle eastern Jew who had brown skin even in the Bible it said his skin was like bronze. If you can’t accept that your just brainwashed
It is racist to want to know his colour. Maybe Christians should follow examples of the Hindu deities and colour him blue. When we identify with a colour, flag, group we set ourselves apart from all outside of that we identify with. The message and how or why the message of a prophet was needed should be our only concern.
