Once again the Passion of Christ has portrayed Jesus Christ as a white male. How does this reflect christianity as a true religion?. Jesus ethnicity may provide a good debate among members of the faith. And the passion of Christ is welcome in this context. However, it will be wrong, not to mention racism as the justification of Jesus as a white male.This white image is disturbing indeed. When a black male plays Jesus in the movie, he is referred to as Black Jesus, limiting the true message of what Jesus actually stood for. Why is that?

The Portrayal of Jesus as the image of white with sandy hair comes primarily from European medival and Rennaisance, champoined by the Catholic church and painted by the Europe's most famous gay artist, MichealAngelo. Jesus was infact a person of color and that color is not white. This white image is, of course wrong.
Jesus was Hebrew and ,thus a member of the Sematic race. The Hebrews claim decent from the people inhabited what is now Northern Saudi Arabia and Southern Iraq. The physical appearance has changed little since. Therefore it stands to reason that Jesus had the same dark olive and black hair typical of most Semitic people of color. Why do we consumately force to believe that Jesus is white and hung on the cross instead of the tree? It is in every churches and your bedroom. Whats your take??????????
