As far as I can make out, Obama’s church appears to claim that Jesus was black, and that everybody else in the Bible story was evil. The Romans were evil. The Jews were evil.

This, of course, ignores the fact that Jesus was Jewish. But how can he be Jewish if he’s black?

This appears to be quite literal. It’s not uncommon for Indians to depict Jesus as Indian, and for Chinese to depict Jesus as Chinese, and Africans to depict Jesus as African, and so forth. It doesn’t mean that they take these portraits literally, just that they understandably like to depict Jesus in terms they are familiar with.

For instance, when my daughter was in Peru she saw portrayals of the Last Supper in local churches in which all the participants looked like Indians, and they were dining on guinea pigs. Nothing wrong with that, that’s what Peruvian Indians like to eat.

But Rev. Wright and his fellows appear to take this literally. Jesus is black, like them. But they hate the Jews, they hate the Romans, and they hate all whites.

Disturbing.

Obama was born a Muslim, prayed to Mecca as a child, and is now lying about it.

All feel good nonsense.

Everyone knows that Jesus is a white guy. Period ... from Scotland.
