Jesus is not widely depicted as blonde haired and white. Black men in America do commit a very high proportion of crime. Black culture is a real issue and other groups that have been discriminated against don’t have the cultural problems that the black community have. Africans were complicit and got rich also from the slave trade. He is trying to simplify something that is not simple and ignores some issues about why there are so many issues in black communities.

@Muminabun Growing up, I would have absolutely seen Jesus as a white man. Paintings of Judas depict him as black. In terms of crime - you have to look at all the factors in a persons life that have caused them to commit a crime. Stereotypes exist - and they do have foundations in the truth - but society will never progress forward if we don’t challenge these stereotypes. In a 5 minute interview you can only summarise, and he thinks he expresses his feeling very well.
