Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King has called for the removal of statues, murals and stained glass windows that depict Jesus as a “white European,” claiming they are a form of “gross white supremacy.”

The targeting of religious artwork comes as activist groups move beyond the tearing down of Confederate statues and removal of other historical monuments.

On Monday King tweeted: “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.

RT reports: He also argued that all “murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down,” calling them “a gross form [of] white supremacy… tools of oppression [and] Racist propaganda.”

King is no fringe figure, either – the well-known racial justice activist rose to prominence through the Black Lives Matter movement and most recently served as a surrogate for Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator who sought the Democrat presidential nomination. 

His tweets came just a day after conservative pundits predicted the statue-smashing spree would come after Jesus.

For several weeks now, protesters across the US have targeted “racist” statues – starting with generals who fought for the Confederacy during the American Civil War, but quickly moving onto Christopher Columbus, President Ulysses S. Grant, and others, including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, two of the Founding Fathers of the US. 

Not even the monument to the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry – an African-American regiment that fought in the Civil War – was spared vandalism. Meanwhile, the Natural History Museum in New York has decided to remove the statue of 26th US President Theodore Roosevelt, saying that its depictions of Native Americans and Africans made it a “hurtful symbol of systemic racism.” 

King’s tweet amounted to inciting federal hate crimes, argued conservative filmmaker Mike Cernovich, comparing it to the Ku Klux Klan’s terror campaign against churches.

    • I beg to differ….

      Jesus is/was a Jew… his skin tone was Olive in nature.

      Not African, Not Arab, Not Chaldean, Not Indian, Not Caucasian.

      What “color” is he… Hmmm, lets see: Matt 17 V 1-2

      “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,”

      “2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.”

      HIS feet, “as Polished Brass” its mentioned…

      HIS Horse, HIS clothing and HIS face will be the brightest white…. not representing skin color but HIS HOLINESS…

      They will spend eternity in the same darkness they walk in today, its their choice but not because they were deceived but because its what they want to BELIEVE.

      • Actually the jews spent a long time in Egypt and did wander a lot and did intermarry frequently so he definitely wasnt white .But exactly what ancestry Mary had is unclear We do know that geneticists claim there are no genetic Jews left at all ,they’re all so inter married over centuries And dont forget we dont know what race Noah’s 3 sons wives were

  1. I’m no church-goer but I have many cherished friends and relatives who are. What will the mob attempt to do? Go into community churches and ‘blackface’ the Virgin and baby Jesus? What about books, bibles that are illustrated? Personal Christian art or religious materials? Give the Demorats the House and Senate in November and they will pass laws or inducements to have this pogrom carried out.. and get your guns too while they are at it.

    • Jesus wasnt black He was a Jewish boy born if a jewish mother, in Bethlehem Everyone in the Bible from Adam and Eve on was Jewish Abraham ,Moses ,Noah David Solomon , etcetera They werent caucasians born in Tottenham or Liverpool . They were all Middle Eastern and most experts agree the garden of Eden was in what is now Iraq .Not Hyde Park.

  2. This would be a very dumb move and get no respect for their “movement”.

    It would get the opposite at best.
