We need to reform the religions.  In Christianity, we paint Jesus as white.  We must paint him as his true form so there is no supremacy to white´s in Nigeria.  We sell all of our white painings nad picutre of Jesus to other countries and hire artisits to paint him in his true form.  THen people won´t be as enslaved as they are.

This will provide many jobs to artists and boost the economy for a bit. This will empower Nigerians to be stronger mentally. This will be great for Nigeria. Also ban the building of new churches and mosques. There are enough. Instead build factories.

Are you thinking? Who do you think knows the true image of Jesus? Answer = NONE. NOBODY does. So how would anybody paint the "true" image of Jesus when nobody knows how he looked like? If you are sick and tired of seeing Jesus the whitey, then paint yourself a Jesus the negro. No long ting there.

Jesus was a Jew; certainly, he did look like the Jews of his days.

His dad was Jewish; his mum was Jewish.

It's highly unlikely he was black;

Painting a black Jesus would be a manifestation of a certain kind of 'complex'.

I never said he was black. He was arab looking so he should be painted as such.

Thanks for clearing that up.

However: Arab-looking is probably correct. . . He was a Jew.

Or probably not: if God's DNA is 'Caucasian' & Mary was only an incubator.

Jehovah's witnesses have some interesting representations of Jesus.
