Uh, no. It's been thousands of years.
I don't think Jesus would say that, lol.

This is my Jesus
Jesus was a brown man who was all about the revolution.
Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil, and the government is lying about 9/11
Slap!
You were having that dream where you made the white people riot, weren't you!?
I just told them the truth.
Funny how Jesus is often depicted like a 70's hippie, Long hair and colorful comfortable clothing.
Everything fundamental Christians hate. The only thing missing is him smoking a joint.
Everything fundamental Christians hate
That's everything Jesus was about now it seems
That's what makes supply side Jesus so funny.

I wonder why hippies stole jesus look... Ah, white people with guilt. Right.
99% invisible just released a podcast on this subject ☞ https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/615-your-own-personal-jesus/
The most popular image of Jesus Christ in the world—a white man with blue eyes, wavy brown hair, and a soft, peaceful gaze—comes from Head of Christ, a 1940 painting by Chicago artist Warner Sallman. It’s been reproduced over a billion times, shaping how millions imagine Jesus.
But its dominance also cemented a white Jesus in the cultural imagination. Scholars point out that the historical Jesus, a Middle Eastern Jew, likely had darker skin. Yet Head of Christ reinforced whiteness as central to Christian identity in America. As historian David Morgan puts it, “It gave white Americans a Jesus that was theirs.”
White Jesus predates the '40s by quite a long way. European Christians have been depicting him that way for centuries. I'm pretty sure Americans had a white Jesus before then as well.
Sadly, it's hard to find accurate depictions of Jesus in the western world.
Ah fuck I need to go listen to more Depeche Mode
Pick up the receiver, I'll make you a believer.

This was a great episode and I’m happy to see you posted it, since I was also like, “I just learned about this!!”
i remember this portrait from some time ago
it sounded like a reasonable reconstruction: https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/a41336100/real-jesus-face/
These days the American Christians would deport his ass.
Never forget in the story of Jesus the hero was killed by the state - Killer Mike.
Or take his land and try to build a hotel chain on it…
Well they don't need Jesus when they've got American Jesus.
Suprised he isn't holding an automatic rifle, and holding a miller lite. With a mullet, and confederate flag.
