Unrelated, just wanted to say they need to do a Black Jesus movie. I mean a serious movie with a Black male lead as Jesus not some buffoonery.

Blair Underwood did a short film with him as Jesus in the 90's I think, but it was like direct to video and super hard to find..

I don't understand
Should we be upset cause she's not "White"?
Should we be upset cause Jesus wasn't "White"?
Cause she's not a man?
Or the typical Internet Ass shyt about her not being "4CUV"?
Or is the thought alone just sacriligeous?
