Christian take on Black Jesus
Aaron McGruder is the bizzomb. I really like his artistic voice. McGruder is the creator the Boondocks cult phenomenon. He is behind the Black Jesus phenomenon.The race of Jesus has been a subject of debate since at least the 19th century. The physical appearance of Jesus of Nazareth was debated by theologians from early on in the history of Christianity, though with no explicit emphasis on race. Different societies have depicted Jesus and most other biblical figures as their own ethnicity in their art; for example he is primarily white in the West. The current dominant opinion among historians and scientists is that he most likely a Galilean Jew and thus would have features which resemble modern-day persons of Middle Eastern or Semitic descent. Others, however, have suggested other possible racial backgrounds. For some Christians the question is complicated by the belief that his birth was a unique miracle, an “incarnation in flesh of divine substance.” I came across this opinion on the Black Jesus shorts from a Christ-centered point of view. Of course some will find it jarring, but I like it.

Stay awhile and monkey around!
