Yes, Mr. King said regarding his support for tearing down images of Christ. All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down. They are a gross form [of] white supremacy. Created as tools of oppression. Racist propaganda. They should all come down.
The activist doubled down on the matter in response to feedback.

Hell, no. I’m an Atheist, but absolutely TF not.
It’s understandable that people who are worshipers will imagine that their savior looks like them, because the early European Christians didn’t have a lot of familiarity with other cultures outside of, if they were fortunate, passing descriptions from others, exposure to non-native servants, or in literature or art. It makes sense that most art of Christ depicts him as white, because he has been thought of as such for well over a millennia, when he was more likely to have at least been olive-skinned in reality.
Shaun King is way overstepping his bounds. Then again, when is he not?
Of course. Anything for the revolution.
But they were all from Galilee, which ain't Europe.
Conclusively demonstrating abject evil.
Nope. Sorry, Asshole. It was Christianity that thought slavery had to go. But thanks for playing. And go kill yourself...
I didn’t know the Virgin Mary was from Europe.
For the same reason they believe Cleopatra was black. Wishful thinking.
Don’t ask me to weigh in on Jesus’ color. I still think Valarie Jarett is white. LOL
I agree with regard to the cultural and historical influences of art. The artist draws, paints and sculpts with that which is familiar and surrounds his/her setting. In truth Jesus and his followers probably looked a lot more like Yasser Arafat than they looked like Tony Curtis. According to this clowns logic everything done by the impressionist and other artist that doesn’t reflect reality should be destroyed. Another “A” hole shows his ignorance. There is nothing worse than an educated no nothing.
If you don’t like it don’t look at it!!!
Similar ‘know-nothings’ destroyed beautiful old works of art in Syria.
Fortunately, it appears that they’ve been able to restore this one (and its history suggests it’s like a 9-lived cat:-)

There is a reason for that.
Blame Louis Farrakhan who said A White Man's Heaven Is A Black Man's Hell . He has preached that Mohammed frees them and has sung about it for over a half century (of hate). There is a graphic (drawing) from a newspaper in some Cassius Clay documentary I saw showing Jesus Enslaves black people and Mohammed frees them.

Now we are getting to the heart of the movement.
Shaun doxed an innocent white man in Houston last year and the man received death threats. There had been a drive by shooting and an 8 year old black girl was murdered.
Some witnesses said it was a white guy that did it (he was driving in the area). Actually it was two black men.
If they start that, I think it’s time to stop them with any means necessary. It’s probably a sin, but that is just proof of why I obviously needed a redeemer.
Yep, u can tell... Have never hated anyone in my life. The hatred is off the chart. and just like 16...Jesus laughed.
European mother????Mary nd Joseph lived in or near Bethlehem which is no where near Europe....Try to tear down a statue of Jesus in my city and you will soon realize your mistake... .just saying!!!
