Richard Pryor Brings Home A Major Point With Humor And Quotes

Some times there is no better way to bring home a point than with humor. The late Richard Pryor was excellent at using humor and quotes to address the issue of race in America. While he would make you laugh until you cried, there was usually a profound mesage  in every joke. A friend of mind sent this skit to me today and all I could say after laughing was so true, so true.

Bob Jones University Apologizes For It's Racists Policies

 

I wonder if the election of Barack Obama has anything to do with the American Medical Association and now Bob Jones University apologizing for its long standing racists policies and the consequences of poor health and education that we see today. What is it about skin color that makes some people think that a man is less human and less a child of God? What is it about skin color that justifies mistreatment.  Its tragic how some so called Christians and preachers of the bible intentionally misinterpret Gods word to justify their actions or inactions that lead their flock  astray.

By JEFFREY COLLINS – 14 hours ago COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Bob Jones University has apologized for racist policies including a one-time ban on interracial dating that wasn't lifted until nine years ago and its unwillingness to admit black students until 1971.

The private fundamentalist Christian school that was founded in 1927 said its rules on race were shaped by culture instead of the Bible, according to a statement posted Thursday on the university's Web site.

The university in northwestern South Carolina, with about 5,000 students, didn't begin admitting black students until nearly 20 years after the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling found public segregated schools were unconstitutional.

 The interracial dating ban was lifted in March 2000, not long after the policy became an issue in the Republican presidential primary that year. Then-candidate George W. Bush was criticized when he spoke at the school during one of his first campaign stops in the state after losing in New Hampshire.

Bob Jones University President Stephen Jones decided to issue the apology because the school still receives questions about its views on race.

The leader of the South Carolina NAACP said the civil rights group welcomed the statement.

"It's unfortunate it took them this long — particularly a religious, faith-based institution — to realize that we all are human beings and the rights of all people should be respected and honored," said Lonnie Randolph, president of the state chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

 Randolph said that when Jones became president three years ago, he asked the civil rights leader not to hold the decisions made under his father and grandfather against him. Jones is the great-grandson of the school founder, Bob Jones. He took over for his father, also named Bob Jones, in 2005.

The Nativity- Happy Holiday And Peace To All Of God's People!

I stongly suggest that you view CNN's Special "After Jesus." I've seen only short previews, so I will hold my opinion until after the total presentation. As is the case annually, Jesus and Mary are falsely presented as Caucasian. The previews do indicate more of the same misrepresenation and distortion of the truth. Here is one of the usual pictures of Jesus and his followers you will see. Here is the viewing schedule. CNN Presents: After Jesus – The First Christians After the execution of their Messiah, the followers of Jesus scattered throughout the ancient world to escape persecution and martyrdom. In a two-hour special presentation narrated by Liam Neeson, CNN Presents explores how the story of Christianity was written and re-written in the centuries following Jesus’ death. After Jesus uses historical artwork and three-dimensional technology to reveal the complex, violent and surprising world of the first Christians. Premiere: Wednesday, Dec. 20, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. (ET) Replay: Friday, Dec. 22, 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. / 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. (ET) Saturday, Dec. 23, 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. / 12 a.m. to 2 a.m. (ET) Sunday, Dec. 24, 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. / 12 a.m. to 2 a.m. (ET) I invite those who view this special to post your intelligent and thoughtful observations in the coming days.

After viewing this CNN special, since I am not a minister or religious scholar I can not take issue with any of the information presented. But I do disagree with the continued false presentation of  Jesus as Caucasian, especially when the public airways are used to disseminate this lie.

Is Jesus Black? Some Times Humor Can Bring Home A Point Much Better Than Angry Conversation

Daily Show comedian Larry Wilmore reads an excerpt from his book, I'd Rather We Got Casinos, on the likelihood of Jesus being Black.

Christ Skin Color Wasn't Black, Because He Was A Jew: The Perfect Easter Sunday Question!

 

The March, April 2013 white Jesus Propaganda Collusion Machine Is At It Again On The History Channel  and CNN.

 

 The History channel in a 5 part 10 hour  series called "The Bible"  presents  lies and false images in the name of Christianity. Created by producer Mark Burnett of Donald Trump's Apprentice,  it exemplifies Hollywood's distortion of the truth mixed in with special effects in an effort to playcate a mostly white audience.

Except this time you will see a smattering of Black folks to avoid being called racist but be assured most of the main biblical characters including Moses, Mary and Jesus are all white.

One redeeming part of this propaganda series is that Sampson who was Black is presented as such. Despite having the opportunity to finally tell the truth, the creators of this series in the name of white supremacy chose to continue the lie.

Newsweek, Easter April 2012 puts white Jesus on its cover for the umpteenth time. (click here to see)The underpinning of white supremacy is to continue to perpetuate the lie that Jesus is/was white, blond and blue eyed?

Click Here to read about the impact the white Jesus image has around the world.  A world where 90% of the earths people are non-whites.

The question that I pose to all Christians is "If you love Jesus so much, why do you continue to be duplicitous in this lie, despite the scientific and biblical facts to the contrary?" If we can truly embrace the true non white image of Jesus Christ, we can finally embrace all men, regardless of color, as children of God and brothers in Christ.

 Discover below what lynchings have to do with the Crucifiction?

From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the United States. Of these people that were lynched 3,446 were black. Many of the whites lynched were lynched for helping the black or being anti lynching... "Strange Fruit" began as a poem written by Abel Meeropol, a Jewish high-school teacher from the Bronx, about the lynching of two Black men.

 

Theologian John Cone explains the connection between Jesus' Crucifixion, lynchings, and the poor today. Listen to why he thinks black and white Christians interpret the scriptures so differently. Maybe this explains why Sunday continues to be the most segregated day of the week.

"The information on this site is a lie" said the email and below is my response.

 

 

Eric, who I am assuming, is white based on the selection

of  his words, phrases and point of view, sent to me his

genuine thoughts today about this site:

 

I just read some of your website. Let me make this very easy. Jesus was Jewish. This is a known fact and as such he was middle eastern/Jew, neither black or white. Do you mention this on your website? I honestly did not read your whole website because you lost me after the first page or so trying to claim or insinuate he was black. I agree that Western Civilization and Europe have also distorted his physical attributes (blond hair and blue eyes) this too is false.

How can one ignore the Biblical evidence and scriptures themselves, both OT and NT, that Jesus is Jewish. He was an olive color of sorts, probably even darker than olive. Maybe more like the color of people from India. Probably closer to what someone from Iraq or Iran look like or even Syria.

Jews are some white and some color but not even close to being of African descent. The OT states in numerous passages he would be a descendant of David, Moses, Noah, Solomon, Joshua, etc. Nowhere near Africa.

This has nothing to do with race or racism. Please communicate accuracy by starting with the scriptures first. Please email me back with your comments, don't hold back. I would love to hear what you think of what I am saying.

Thank you,
Eric

 Now let’s address your question of doubt as to whether Jesus was Black and that Jews are light skin and your false conclusion that since Jesus was a Jew he couldn’t have been Black.(Click here to see further proof of Black Hebrews) Since you seem to overlook the biblical and scientific proof that I have presented, I'm going to point you to Wikipedia and the results you get when you click here Ethopian Jews.

 

 Click Here To Learn About The Isrealites

 

Eric, I hope you read that entire Wikipedia page, but especially this paragraph:

A 2001 study by the Department of Biological Sciences at Stanford University found a possible genetic similarity between 11 Ethiopian Jews and 4 Yemenite Jews who took part in the testing. The differentiation statistic and genetic distances for the 11 Ethiopian Jews and 4 Yemenite Jews tested were quite low, among the smallest of comparisons involving either of these populations.

 

Watch This Video Proof Carefully

 

The 4 Yemenite Jews from this study may be descendants of reverse migrants of African origin who crossed Ethiopia to Yemen. The study result suggests gene flow between Ethiopia and Yemen as a possible explanation for the closeness. The study also suggests that the gene flow between Ethiopian and Yemenite Jewish populations may not have been direct, but instead could have been between Jewish and non-Jewish populations of both regions.

^{So Eric, yes we both agree that Jesus was a Jew, but biblical and scientific evidence confirms now that he was indeed a Black Jew. If you have any real evidence showing otherwise, please post it. As for your point that Jesus may have been the color of people from India and Iraq, I have posted a picture of each below.}

^{Indian Woman}

^{Iraqi Man}

^{I think the question you should be posting is why Christianity refuses to acknowledge the truth and why so many so called Christians remain in denial and some seem angry, like yourself, at the thought that Jesus was Black and so is President Barack Obama. Knowing these facts, I'm sure as a Christian, you don't love and respect them any less.}

 

^{Peace and Love To All Of God's People.}

Eric as we discuss whether Jesus was Black. let me point to President Barack Obama and the issue that continues to be raised by some whites who are uncomfortable calling him our first Black President. Many say Obama isn’t black, he's half white. Think about that for a minute. Historically from slavery through Jim Crow and to the present day, if you had one drop of Black blood you were considered Black by our society. As a result of slavery, Black Americans come in all shades and colors. President Obama, when asked the question of his heritage, acknowledges both sides of his family but says if he tried to catch a cab at night, there would be no doubt what he would be seen as, and there fore he says he is African American in his frame of reference and life experience.

 

Some times humor mixed with proof is very effective in making a point.

The Shroud Of Turin Perpetuates The Lie!

He Has Risen!

 
Jesus Died To Save Us All!

 
The History Channel recently featured a special that uses propped up science to bolster a lie that the Schroud of Turnin that depicts Jesus as white, is real, there for Jesus must have been white, blond and blue eyed.

Despite all of the undisputed scientific proof and biblical facts showing otherwise, here's another example of the insidiousness of white supremacy at work in the media.

The History Channel has shown what people of color and especially Black people have seen through out history, the desire by some not to let the facts get in the way of their version of history.

Is Obama Christian? Which Christian God Does Obama's Critics Want Him To Believe In?

Let's not be hypocritical. We all know that in America Sunday is the most segregated day of the week. Black people and white people who call themselves Christians, followers of Christ, worship in their respective churches separately. In most white churches, white people, despite the biblical and scientific facts,  have an image in their church of a Jesus Christ that looks like them, and this assures some  that God must be on their side.

Head across town and visit many black churches and you will find most have the same false images in their church. Most black ministers are too Afraid of speaking the truth for fear it will upset their confused congregation and disrupt the money flow. They feel its better to let sleeping dogs lie.  So religion for Black people has evolved as a source of strength to fight against the constant onslaught of racism, to a place where most Black women come to on Sunday because that's how they were raised. They are told by most black ministers, don't worry about how bad your life might be, you will get your reward in heaven.

Is Obama Christian?

The critics keep accusing Barack of being Muslim, despite his historical actions and words. I find it interesting though that while these same white Christians like Franklin Graham publicly accuse Barack of a Muslim coverup, it is most Muslim Mosques when camera's are allowed in, that reflect in appearance a truer image of a multicultural America.

Who are are American Muslim Believers of Islam and what do they look like?

 

America has never had a President who is willing to speak so opening and honestly about his faith in the face of those critics who constantly question his christian beliefs.

Slick Preachers and Big Black Churches Surrounded By Poverty

There have always been good Black preachers following in the footsteps of Dr. Martin Luther king, who while making as much as $200,000 a year in speaking engagements decided only to take just $1 in annual pay from Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.

As I sit back and listen to this tragic soap opera surrounding Reverend Eddie Long,  attention is being brough to the properous life style of these prosperity preachers who drive luxury cars, live in million dollar homes, wear custom make suites and fly private jets all from the tithing of the churches largely Black female members.

The Atanta Journal-Constitution published tax  records showing that from 1997 to 2000 Bishop Long  accepted $3 million in salary, housing  (present home valued at $1.1 million in 2005) and other perks from the charity he controls.

Some of these preachers claim that they are living off of their own money that they generate from speaking engagements and the selling of books, audios and dvd's to their followers. As profitable as the selling of information is, its takes a lot of book sales to pay for a private jet that cost over $1000 and hour to operate. Its time for people to wake up. Can I get a Amen.
