Far-left activist Shaun King on Monday said all images depicting Jesus as a “white European” should be torn down because they are a form of “white supremacy.”

King made his remarks over a series of Twitter posts as historic monuments and statues have become the targets of anger and vandalism during Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death while in police custody late last month.

“Yes I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been,” King tweeted. “In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not Demark. Tear them down.”

King followed the post up with another, saying that “white Jesus is a lie” and a “tool of white supremacy” created to help white people use Christianity as a “tool of oppression. He added that white people would never have accepted a religion “from a Brown man.”

Reactions on Twitter were mixed. Some agreed with King’s position, while others pointed out that cultures other than white Europeans have depicted Jesus in ways that resembled the local community.

Where did the picture originate?

What´s interesting is he is saying they should be torn down but his pinned tweet is "Please pray for my dear mother, Kay".
Pretty much sums up the extreme left.

Excuses, excuses; all I ever hear is excuses why this or that statue must be torn down. Only cowards rip down statues, rather than face the real deal.

Why don't you idiots wake up to the fact that there is no White Supremacy in America! It's a lie that's been fed to you by the liberal elites, using it to make you angry and unreasonable.

Racism is not a one-way street. Trying to defeat racism with even more racism and revenge going the other direction is not gonna solve the issue.

Jews (like Jesus) are Caucasian. They don't all look the same, any more than Caucasians in other parts of the world do. Nobody knows what Jesus looked like (or if he even really existed). He might very well have been light-skinned, with relatively straight, light-colored hair, just as he appears in traditional paintings and statues. Tearing down statues of him is idiotic (not to mention, you might go to Hell!).

I mean... Depicting Jesus, as well as everyone else from the bible that shouldn't be white, as white.. That's kinda fucked up.

There is a part of BLM that is communist. Obviously, they want to get rid of Jesus first.
