Why Spawn Isn't Black
(6/7/01)


Another response to Why Spawn Isn't Black:

>> i hope that this is a joke. if not then it would be ok to paint pervasive religious figures like Jesus, God, or anyone one who has passed on with blonde hair and blue eyes. <<

Nope, no joke. Western civilization has painted Jesus with blond hair and blue eyes throughout history. For a better picture of what Jesus might've looked like, visit What Jesus Said.

I didn't say a decomposed body or skeleton changes race. I said it loses its racial characteristics. That has nothing to do with how we characterize someone when he was alive. Jesus remained a Semitic person in life, and ideally in depictions of his life. His bones, if they exist, are race-neutral, not "Semitic."
