Let’s stop playing pretend for five whole minutes and just speak the truth:
Jesus wasn’t white.
Not blonde.
Not blue-eyed.
Not looking like he stepped off the set of a shampoo ad.
He was a brown-skinned, Middle Eastern, Jewish man—born and raised in a region that would get him "randomly selected" at the airport today. Facts over feelings. Geography didn’t suddenly start lying to coddle egos. And history sure as hell didn’t rewrite itself just to match the stained-glass windows in your Sunday school.
But here we are, once again, watching folks lose their entire minds over a picture. A picture. Not poverty. Not hunger. Not systemic racism. Not the broken justice system. Nope. It’s the melanin that has y’all clutching your pearls and typing angry novels in the comments. The math ain't mathing.
Let me be even clearer:
The same type of people who clapped while Jesus was crucified are the same ones now crying over a Facebook post. That’s the energy. Loud about skin tone, silent about injustice. Make it make sense.
And here’s the part y’all really don’t wanna hear:
Some of y’all would rather reject Jesus entirely than accept that he was darker than you. Did you catch that? Read it again.
You would rather deny the Messiah than admit he doesn’t fit the whitewashed illusion you were raised on. Your faith was built on an image, not the truth. And now that the image is cracking, so is your so-called belief.
The idea of a dark-toned Savior shatters your fantasy—so instead of seeking truth, you run from it. You’d throw out the gospel before you’d give up your blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus that looks more like a beach model than a man from Bethlehem.
And the wildest part? If Jesus showed up today looking like his actual, historical self—some of y’all would deadass lock your doors, grab your purse, and call 911. But you got the audacity to talk about disrespect? Please.
You don’t want the truth—you want a mascot. A version of Jesus that makes you feel safe in your ignorance. One that looks like you, thinks like you, and doesn’t challenge your worldview. But if the skin tone of Christ offends you more than his teachings, newsflash:
You were never following him in the first place.
Faith rooted in fantasy isn’t faith. It’s cosplay with a Bible.
And before the Temu Trump crowd gears up to rage-type in all caps with their $3 chargers and discount dictatorships—save it.
Ain’t nobody arguing with folks who treat conspiracy theories like communion wafers.
I said what I said.

“So y’all canceling Jesus now ‘cause he got melanin?”
“Imagine defending white Jesus harder than the actual gospel.”
“Geography called—wants y’all to stop playing.”
“Bet you think Jerusalem is in Southern France too.”
“Your Jesus wears sandals, not Sperrys.”
The truth don’t need to be sugarcoated. It’s not here to make you feel good—it’s here to set you free. And if the truth about Christ’s skin tone is what breaks your belief, maybe it’s time to ask what exactly you were believing in.
Uncomfortable? Good. Sit with it.
