The Cancel Culture Mob Is Coming for Jesus
I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been,” King tweeted. “In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not Demark. Tear them down.” He continued: “All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down.”

This is just sick.  It shows the mental and moral depravity of the secular progressive cancel culture and the extent they intend to go to destroy everything about the exceptional Judeo-Christian heritage of our America and its divine providence founding.

The cancel culture mob is not content to stop at tearing down monuments, pressuring companies to change the marketing of their products , getting popular T.V. shows pulled, or having people fired for the sin of nonconformity to groupthink or in some cases, being related to the unpopular . No, now the Lord Jesus Christ is being targeted, too.

Progressive activist Shaun King called for images of Christ to be taken down because he argues they’re a form of “white supremacy.”

“Yes I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been,” King tweeted. “In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not Demark. Tear them down.”

He continued: “All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down.”

King claimed the depictions are a “gross form [of] white supremacy” that were “created as tools of oppression.”
 
 “They should all come down,” he urged.

As Dana Loesh aptly noted in response to King, "statism is the only religion in which skin color matters."


Anyone who thinks that identity would ever come into play doesn’t know Jesus, doesn’t know Scripture, doesn’t know God (1 John 2:4). The Gospels stress unity within the kingdom, there is no emphasis at all placed upon appearance or even customs. The physical appearance of Jesus has never had any impact on the teachings of Jesus, faith in Jesus, or anything else. His appearance is insignificant because it doesn’t change our faith in, our worship of, our relationship with Him. Any insistence otherwise betrays Scripture. We are children of God, period. The only identity that matters is being a child of God .

                       Left-wing activist Shaun King called Monday for the removal of statues, murals and stained glass windows that depict Jesus as a “white European,” which he claimed “are a form of white supremacy.”

“Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down,” King, a former surrogate on Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign, wrote on Twitter. “They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been.”

King’s targeting of religious artwork comes as various activist groups have moved beyond tearing down Confederate statues and are now calling for the removal of other historical monuments.

“In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went?” he added. “EGYPT! Not Denmark. Tear them down.” (RELATED: Shaun King’s PAC Paid Two Consulting Firms $600K. Here’s Who’s Behind Them)

Going after religious symbols simply because they were produced by Anglo-Saxon cultures (and thus use their own likeness rather than that of a first century Judeo man) is gratuitous and irresponsible.

Enough! While I can see the "too much" factor at work here; this has been a long-running counter-cultural argument in the Black and other minority communities. The operative questions, plural, come in two forms?

1 . Jesus is of Jewish descent? Where is the proper Anglo-Saxon tie-in?

2 Why are images made of Jesus in the first place? (Seeing that he 'took' no pictures)?

3. Since the church has many Jewish scriptures followers , then Exodus 20:4 clarifies and answers the question:

  4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 5 “You shall not worship them or serve them;

4. The word picture given of Jesus (the coming Messiah) in Isaiah's prophecy:

Isaiah 53:2-3 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

For He grew up before Him like a tender [ a ] shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should [ b ] be attracted to Him.
He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of [ c ] sorrows and acquainted with [ d ] grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

Jesus was likely no more a 'pin-up poster model' for the ages, than an angel is a sweet-cheek cherub!

And no get me started on the depictions of "the baby Jesus."

I didn’t deflect.  I merely pointed out that many cultures create their image of Jesus to match their own.  So it’s racist and stupid to only find fault with whites for doing so too.  Considering that Rome ruled the area where Jesus lived and the apostles and Paul took the message to Greece and Rome and that much of the Christian world outside of Europe fell to Islam is it really a surprise that it turned out that way?

You have deflected and you continue doing so. All cultural images of spiritual beings are fake and egregious from a scriptural point of view. Do you agree? Jesus was not of Anglo-Saxon descent. Moreover, I know of no group who pictures Jesus as a Rabbi - do you?

Why imagine what the prophets did not bother picturing?

Reminds me of Muslims who got angry (during the Mohammed Cartoon Crisis) at people making pictures of The Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him). Which strikes me as ridiculous, because no living person knows what he looks like-- so how do they know that any of those pictures were of him? 

However, if Jesus was indeed a Middle-Eastern-Jew, then he was a Caucasian-- and Dark-skinned. ("Olive-skinned") as are the indigenous peoples of the eastern Medditteranean).

Just as if you are a Caucasian American and convert to Buddhism-- you should admit the fact that The Buddha looked like an Asian-- not a Caucasian.

Personally, I don't care what "race" he was-- or what  color eyes and hair he had, whether he was tall or short, etc. Rather, its His teachings that are important....

“They are a gross form white supremacy,” King wrote. “Created as tools of oppression. Racist propaganda. They should all come down.”

Reactions on Twitter were mixed. Some agreed with King’s position, while others pointed out that cultures other than white Europeans have depicted Jesus in ways that resembled the local community.

SHAUN KING: DEMOCRATS ARE RUNNING CITIES WITH TEH WORST POLICE BRUTALITY RECORDS

Ethiopia, for instance, has depicted Jesus as black for more than 1,500 years. Likewise, images of Jesus appearing Asian can be found throughout the Far East.

King was once a leading voice in the Black Lives Matter movement but fell from grace when his race was questioned and he was accused of being a Caucasian falsely portraying himself as black.

“I have been told for most of my life that the white man on my birth certificate is not my biological father and that my actual biological father is a light-skinned black man. My mother and I have discussed her affair. She was a young woman in a bad relationship and I have no judgment,” he wrote in 2015 amid reports that he misrepresented his race.

King was also a surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders', I-Vt., having introduced him at the kickoff rally in Brooklyn last year for his failed 2020 presidential bid.

The Catholic religion is heavy on symbolism and ritual.   They have a rich tradition which includes praying to Mary and to the many saints that they have proclaimed during the long history of the Catholic Church.   The praying is actually to ask the saints to pray to God on their behalf.

i totally disagree with them on that.  They removed the original 2nd commandment forbidding graven images and replaced the Bible alone with tradition and rituals.  Lastly we can come to God on our own not needing saints to pray to God for us or men replacing God in forgiving our sins.  That said, I’m totally opposed to seeing mobs, looters, and vandals desecrating and destroying their traditions.

Mary is special but is not considered a deity.   She is simply a highly distinguished spirit due to her ostensibly giving birth to Jesus.   Catholics do not pray to Mary for her to grant them anything other than to intercede on their behalf.

I think every religion has branched off into different denominations that have differing views. And each one is convinced that their way is the right way-- and the others are "wrong". (Well, except for certain of the more tolerant groups such as some of the Bahai, Quakers, Yazidis, Kurds, Buddhists, etc)

I appreciate the beauty in beautiful things. What I have never understood (don't even know that I can either) is why people do many things in violation of the 'spoken words' they say (with their lips) they wish to follow and obey. For example:

24 On the following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am just a man.”

While I understand loosely that Catholics have many other books and writings than the Bible alone - It has left me wondering why the Popes, (the Vicar of God/Jesus on Earth) accept the observance of kissing their ring or any attempt at worship since they are only "a man." I do not know much about Catholocism, nevertheless.

(Ironically, a NT friend and I are preparing to have private discussions about Catholicism and this 'breaks' out. Go figure. ( Chuckles .))

I have so many situations like that. Where a person is totally mystified as to why a person does something... (Of course after finding an explanation, it often makes sense to them)..

(People often don't understand things that others others do . . .although frequently I have observed that many people think  they do understand something when they don't) 

P.S: Are you sure the observance of kissing the Popes' ring is a form of worship? (I have to admit, though, that I don't know why they do it....religions are not one of my areas of expertise!

No, not sure as it stands today. But drawing off of the explanation of Acts 10:24

24 On the following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am just a man.”

It appears to be an act of deference and reverence . The office of Pope descents from Peter. The Pope is called the Vicar of Christ (Christ's representative on Earth). Since Christ is worthy of worship as God, then it follows that acts of deference and reverence (kissing of the ring) to the Pope is some small part of worship.

However, I do not know what such an act as kissing the ring signifies to Catholics past and present. The act itself has always concerned me due to Acts 10:24 . . ."I am just a man." (Peter said.)

"The Cancel Culture Mob Is Coming For Jesus"

If they are coming for him, does that mean they know where he is?

But seriously, everyone paints their imaginary God/gods in familiar likenesses and European Christians were no different. Since no one can prove he existed, its rather hard to claim to know what he looked like so it can only be up to each artist creating personal renditions of their Gods.
