Clarke, John Henrik. (1966).’’ The boy who painted the Christ black’’.American Negro Short Stories. Ed. John Henrik Clarke. New york: Hill And Wang 1966. 108-114.

The bible never mentioned no description of the physical apparence of Jesus. That’s why every nation painted Jesus their own way, because the bible did not cite any detail about his color or race, and ‘’the boy painted Jesus black’’. Was he wrong? Who knows. The world has a perception of a white Christ. It is inconceivable to some people that He can be black. The story was about a young boy name Aaron who painted Christ black. The story was also about prejudice in America in the 1940’s. it was also about the role of religion in people’s life, how they pictured their spiritual leader. Aaron teacher always pronounced his name with enthousiasm, because he was the best student in the class. The teacher even said “ If he were white he might, some day,

    In the book, The Color of Christ written by Edward J. Blum and Paul Harvey provide an insight on how the concept of White Jesus has changed over time. In the Antebellum America, some African American made the white Jesus as anti-slavery hero and visioned him very close to the point that they made him a servant who suffers and gets persecuted. In the age of Imperialism, some African American civil activist made White Jesus as an issue of race, while some through their artwork an oriental face of Black Jesus. While there are few similarities before and after civil war, some African American views are very different. Antebellum some African American see Christ as a hero, but Imperialism African American see Him as a problem.…

    His Mother Mary was black/afro-asiatic and closely resembled those of Yeminite, Trinidadian, or African American descent of today. The perception of the Madonna and Child can also be challenged. In Matt 2:15 and Hos 11:1 we find "Out of Egypt, I have called my son." This particular passage speaks about Mary and Joseph's attempt to hide the one that King Herod feared would displace him. Can you imagine the divine family as Europeans hiding in AFRICA?!? There are literally hundreds of Shrines that depict the Black Madonna in many parts of North Africa, Europe, and Russia. These are but uncanny reminders of the original people who inhabited ancient Palestine. Watercolors and marvelous oils of the painter's brush has recast the image and rebirth Jesus as a European. Medieval and renaissance artists (such as Michaelangelo) made him suitable for a European form of Christianity. You even had people like Shakespeare have a hand in editing the the King James Version of the Bible. Again people will argue Jesus was Semitic, but again this is a group of languages that include both Hebrew and Arabic and NOT a racial type. It is ironic that the term "Semitic" was created at around the same time the "Middle East" was created. It is as they sought to simply de-Africanize the sacred story of the Bible by disconnecting a part of Africa. In my final analysis I would like to provide evidence that Jesus was of African descent based on the descriptions given in the Bible as regard to appearance. Dan 7:9 reads "I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, who garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire." We all know that blacks have hair that closest resembles that of wool. We continue on to Rev. 1:13-15: "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man,…
