Why he white tho
Because he's the son of God
And according to Europeans or those of European descent, the son of God has got to be white like them and not some dirty brown curly haired middle eastern Arab.
Probably because 95% oft all people in the medieval age and prior (where this specific depiction of portrait-jesus emerged) have never seen a black person all their life - including artists. Can't blame people for drawing people as they know them.
Nah, Europe had black people.
Yeah the Moors controlled the Iberian peninsula for nearly 800 years from 711-1492.
The moors were mostly Arabs and Berbers, though.
Yes, and Jesus was from the middle east, so the people of europe would not be unaware of what people from there might look like.
I mean, yes, black people were present but in very small numbers, and their presence was rare enough that they often stood out significantly in the historical record. The most were probably around the southern borders of todays europe, like spain, italy and greece, but black people in todays germany, poland or even further up north were an absolute rarity. Even in southern europe, black people were rare enough that many people only saw a handful of them in their lifetime.
Many people only saw a hundred people in their lifetime. Most people were farmers. There were no trains or TV then.
Those people weren't the ones painting paintings and writing stories
Yeah, those people saw plenty of black people
Yeah, but these were painted in Italy.
They've barely got any black people even now.
IIRC, white Jesus is specifically made to look like members of the Medici family, who were major sponsors of the same Renaissance artists who painted most of our iconic religious art.
Thanks I'm gonna call him Medici Jesus now and accuse anyone who uses that portrayal of Medici propaganda
Gays, immigrants, and marginalised people together strong 💪
And please acknowledge the fact they called it Gulf of Mexico instead of Gulf of "America"!
Twas the cherry on top.
This sentence could land you in prison for life if they go ahead with "suspending" habeas corpus. Remember folks, if your detention cannot be challenged legally, it doesn't matter AT ALL whether your detention was legal. If you think they'll never come for you, you're forgetting that they'll rely on the volunteer army of MAGA "informers" who will turn you in for treason because you annoyed them by being kind to someone they were bullying or something completely trivial. Without habeas corpus, suspicion is sentencing.
Also exactly what Hitler did with the Reichtag Fire Decree: https://alphahistory.com/nazigermany/the-reichstag-fire/
I know first hand of an anti- DEI-ban protest that occurred on a college campus in a red state. I also know first hand that the Turning Point USA group chat had at least one individual, a student of that same university, threaten to call ICE on this university-approved peaceful protest, as they were upset at the noise.
But the courts will save me...right?
No, the courts absolutely couldn't save you, that's exactly what suspension of habeas corpus means - habeas corpus means that if you're imprisoned, it can be challenged in the courts by you or someone else. If you lose habeas corpus, no one can challenge anyone's imprisonment legally. It removes the right to trial. Your right to a trial if you're imprisoned is called habeas corpus.

or some uptight twitter green smartass (cia bot) about the fact that they were on diesel guzzling cruiser.
Are you saying that only the Central Intelligence Agency wants the USA to stop using destructive and limited fuel sources?
No, but the CIA wants to discredit critics by making progressives look extreme with ridiculous psyop campaigns.
I remember the one where the so-called feminist pours bleach on men on the train who are "manspreading". Although that one turned out to be Russian in origin. Same sort of thing however.
yes, that is 100% precisely what i am saying it's right there in my comment right next to the part that says you're a moron.
You could have just said "Yes, you're correct", no need to compliment me aha
daepicgamerbro69 : right next to the part that says you’re a moron.
Lyra,
You said in another post today you have memory problems. I have extreme severe brain damage. Maybe you have problems like I do?
no need to compliment me aha
Do you go all over Lemmy being insincere and mocking what you don't grasp or understand?
You could have just said “Yes, you’re correct”
You could have said that to me as moderator of my community when you seem highly confused and made a claim a post broke rules. But instead, you insulted me instead of actually addressing your misunderstanding.
Incredibly based
