Jesus looks like this, right? Red-headed or blond, with blue eyes. Nope!
Here’s what Jesus really looked like. Olive skin and dark hair.
ed’s note: I know we know this, but we as a nation still don’t know it: racism vs. Middle Easterners is still widespread, whether through government racial profiling or down south bumper stickers…and Jesus is still depicted as white, blond in just about every church ever.
Why does it matter, we might ask? It doesn’t. But it does: they is us. Us is them. It’s a small world, after all. Best get over the us vs. other, and start acting like we’re all interconnected and interdependent.
Why?
‘Cause we are.

jesus was a blonde with blue eyes…Jesus Christ S.S. says so…in the mean time us vs them is called zenophobia. And it is rooted in evol. biological fear of other….it goes deeper than spiritual ideology…a primal fear that can over ride the best of spiritual platitudes…….
