Mels... I agree it is not the message here, but I think the comments about it have to do with how we perceive people and the world with relation to color, IF some of the interpretation is correct.
Jesus is depicted as a white man. Thus God is. Good. Angels. etc... It all comes from this representation.
Truly if it doesn't matter what Jesus was would you be willing to change your depictions/art to reflect His true birth?
The fact is race does matter. Maybe not to you and I, but over 2000 yrs of influence.... it has had a huge impact.
It is funny because during winter we hear about overpasses icing up before your highway and roads.
We don't label it as white ice. Just ice. Suddenly we have ice on asphalt as Black ice. Why? Ice is no more obvious on either pavement, but yet we have found away to label ice on asphalt as if it is worse. Lol.
