My point being that things used to be a certain way, and now they're all turned on their heads. People are a little quick on the draw, regarding race. Ready to pick fights, when, not long ago, people just kept rolling along. I remember seeing tomb paintings of dark-skinned pharohs with light-skinned servants, and then, years later, there would be the opposite. Or a Light-skinned pharoh would have a combo of both- people didn't care. maybe because everyone's lives were so difficult that they just figured they were all in the same boat together. Today, everyone has just picked sides, and it's idiodic.

So in your eyes, you would rather have God portrayed by George Burns than Morgan Freeman?

I see nothing insulting at all about a "Black Jesus". Yes, it is a fantasy but so is having Jesus portrayed by someone with blond hair and blue eyes. While we are on the topic, they had a "Black Jesus" painting hanging on the wall in the 1970's show Good Times. Get over it.
