Jesus was not white.

Wasn't black either, for that matter.

I think we're on minute nine here. Only six more to go.

Well thats not known for sure, he could have been.

But he most certainly wasn't white. As a white person I don't care tho, I still think he was a great person. But someone of another color being portrayed as Jesus is groundbreaking regardless.

Under which circumstances would he have been black? Would that be any more likely than Jesus actually being a white Roman? Probably not.

Definately, that's pretty progressive of Rolling Stones and Kayne West.

Odd that he didn't choose to portray God, as that is who he thinks he is

Just a matter of time before it ends up on ytmnd

I mean he was most likely brown, but there were a lot of Africans in the region for trade/political reasons.

He's not portraying Jesus...He's portraying the guy that was on another cross next to Jesus. You know, the guy that got busted for stealing or something.

What about Madonna's video for "Just Like a Prayer" featuring a black Jesus?

That was decades ago, and people were mad about it back then too.

He was as white or dark as any other Jew.

The strangest tangent of the Rolling Stone story, however, is when West says he's addicted to pornography.
look! now a lot of people here can finally identify with kanye! you can now embrace him as your brethren!
