What color was Jesus?
The skin color on a mural of Jesus Christ sparked the ire among some Biola University students and community members, Sandra Molina reports.
LA MIRADA - In the 18 years since a prominent Los Angeles muralist painted it, the 40-foot depiction of Jesus Christ on a Biola University building has sparked controversy.
Students of color say they are offended by Jesus being portrayed as white.
But what makes this story even more interesting are the heated and sometimes racist comments that follow it. For example:
Who the hell cares what the blacks, muslims and illegals don't like! Now that the blacks and muslims have a half black muslim running for prez, they are all bent out of shape about Jesus? Go f yourselves!
And:
Let's not waste our time and energy on the shade of Jesus' skin color. My guess is you can't spend several days walking in the HOT desert and still be white as snow. What's the difference if His skin color was light, dark or black? He is who He is... Where were these protesters when they took Jesus out of our schools, flag salute, etc?
Our time would be better spent lobby against SAME sex marriage, or killing babies through abortion.
