We're doing this for BLM. Alright, you just cheapened the act. There's been huge numbers of variations of such depictions over the centuries to appeal to different groups.
Not the first time something like that has been done for appeasement.

A painting of the Last Supper featuring a black Jesus will replace a Nativity scene at St Albans Cathedral to show solidarity with Black Lives Matter.
The Dean has agreed to install the 9ft piece of artwork on the altar after conceding that the church is in a weak position to preach about racial justice.
Titled A Last Supper, the painting reworks Da Vinci's renowned 15th century mural by casting a Jamaican-born model as Christ.
The announcement came less than a week after the Archbishop of Canterbury urged the Church of England to reconsider its portrayal of Christ as white.
Justin Welby said Christians should also accommodate global depictions of Jesus which show him as black, Chinese and Middle Eastern.
Embracing this philosophy, St Albans Cathedral in Hertfordshire is covering up its existing altarpiece painting with the high-resolution print which challenges 'the Western myth' that Jesus looked European.
It will cover up an untitled three-part painting of a scene from the Nativity, which shows the Virgin Mary and Child flanked by the shepherds and kings.

Sounds like something from the Babylon Bee.
It's even worse. Most immigration to the UK is/was legal -- muslims and other third worlders brought in by the millions by their govt.
Should also have some more appropriate food choices for Black Jesus’ Last Supper, like purple drank and flaming hot cheetohs.
also, what’s with the cherries on the plate
Is that suppose to be a Jerusalem Cherry that is poisonous?

In what bizarro universe do they think a black face Jesus will be acceptable to anybody?
Wow. Isn’t being nailed to a cross worse than lynching? Just asking for a friend.
I hope he gets enough money from the shoot to afford a proper fitting sport coat.

Even Jamaicans aren’t really from Jamaica.
This is exactly why God instructed - NO GRAVEN IMAGES
If this is their focus, sounds like the church is in a weak position to preach the Gospel.
Something to annoy the both of us...
Yeah. Right.
Like this instance of sucking up will actually appease the BLM crowd.
Exactly.
Jesus is wearing blackface???
Bring the torches.
BLM has nothing to do with Christianity, and promotes the elimination of Christianity, Whites, private property, the Constitution.
Gospel? What's that? </half the so-called Christian churches on earth>
Q. Was Jesus black, white, or something in between?
A. Yes.
So I have no problem with, say, a black community envisioning Jesus as a black man. And that’s because it’s Jesus’s words that matter, not His image.
But to use Jesus just to make a political statement - as is being done here - that’s repulsive. Simply repulsive.
