The idiot is probably not even aware of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, Poland:

Who cares about a person's color, besides the racists yelling racism?

[Mr Information]

I recall visiting a church (I think in Spain) which had a Black Madonna. The guide explained that it was black because of the accumulation of soot over the years. I have now looked up Wikipedia to see which church that was, and to my surprise discovered that about 150 are listed. And most of those are in Europe.
