    yeah i guess most people never even thought about how jesus would have been black back then. most modern depictions of him are white for some reason. funny how that works

      It’s my understanding that the model used for “modern Jesus” was Leonardo DeVinci’s gay lover.

      Right, considering it all happened in Jerusalem, which is in the middle east, where there probably weren’t any white people.
