Does it ever!
Jesus was not a blond haired European. His parents fled to Egypt to blend in.https://t.co/mN8VTd3bdf pic.twitter.com/LNzJ0s0QBK

My latest.
How even Jesus is used as a tool of white supremacy during the holiday season.
Merry Christmas!https://t.co/mN8VTd3bdf

Prepare to be educated:
When we lived in California, I cringed when my children saw stringy blond-haired surfers with beards and they would blurt out to us, “Hey, he looks like Jesus!” I would have to stop and correct them and say, “No, he looks how white people want Jesus to look, but Jesus did not look like a California surfer dude.”
It’s not simply an honest mistake though.
When the man who is deemed the central figure of a religion and indeed the savior of the entire world is consistently portrayed to look like a Scandinavian sailor when he more likely resembled a Syrian refugee, it’s being done to advance an Anglo-Saxon, white supremacist agenda.
Is there any doubt that Shaun’s the life of every Christmas party he’s at?
Except "White Jesus" has been around for centuries. My God, you're an idiot. https://t.co/Tz3H5GX28E

@ShaunKing If you're focused on the particular skin color of Christ come Christmas, then you're missing the point of the season, Shaun.
