Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King called Monday for the removal of statues, murals and stained glass windows that depict Jesus as a “white European,” which he claimed “are a form of white supremacy.”
“Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down,” King, a former surrogate on Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign, wrote on Twitter. “They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been.”
King’s targeting of religious artwork comes as various activist groups have moved beyond tearing down Confederate statues and are now calling for the removal of other historical monuments.
“In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went?” he added. “EGYPT! Not Denmark. Tear them down.”

“All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down,” King wrote in a second tweet. “They are a gross form of white supremacy.”
A spokesperson for King didn’t immediately return a request for additional comment.

Since when do they have the right to demand anything be taken down because they dont like or believe in it. Last I heard this was a free country and I am not enslaved to their way of thinking and they are not the governing party of anything! Who are they to tell me or anyone what we are going to believe in. This movement which started out over the treatment of one black man and now they are trying to erase the history of what I believe in. Sounds like they are striving for black supremacy….they cant force their beliefs on us unless we let them..This is the land of the free!
Yes indeed!
Absolutely agree with you. I am sick and tired of this B S.
It’s time to stop it all
Right now
This stuff has to end they are going way to far with this crap BLM is nothing more than racist organizations
Amen
I agree, I live in Houston and I don’t like the Astro Dome. I think I will demand it to be torn down. I wonder if the county will do it just because I demand it.
Yes the Democrats will let you do that so long as it keeps you from coming after them and theirs!
BLACK LIVES MATTER is actually a MARXIST organization.!.
Marxism, first developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the mid-19th century, has been the foremost ideology of the COMMUNIST movement.
Marxism considers itself to be the embodiment of scientific SOCIALISM.
It actually has NOTHING to do with “BLACK LIVES”

Alright! Bring it on and Bring them Down!
Did I hear a click out there Deborah😳
The end is so near. Forgive him father for he know not what he does.
Amen
We are all created in his image…!! So that means no color of Jesus can be wrong…!! He is what you are that seeks him…!! These statues are our faith and anyone is free to put one representative of their color and image…!! I do not stand for any of the other statues , but you will not remove God…!!!
Amen! Rhiannon! Now they woke me up!
Why would you even waste the time and energy to write about this man’s(?) ideas? He is a lying cheat. Best place for him is Hell
Lets not have statues at all, so no one is offended! While we’re at it, lets ban Santa Claus too! This stuff is getting out of hand!
Oh they’ve already gone there with Santa…🙄🙄🙄🙄
Is this a /sarc post?
The thing is if there were no statues or monuments, then they would go after something else. It appears thst the so called officials of Democratic predominance are the are the hardest hit. But and u say but!! When you try to go against the religious community, son, you are in for the fight of your life. The way I am seeing it now government is bowing down to these radicals. Religious communities don’t bow down! You can’t beat down whats in peoples hearts and minds. Tread lightly or b you too will feel the wrath of God!!!
Keep trying to tear down others property based on bs racism that only you identify. Explain a criminal killing an innocent being racist? Every time a “white” Criminal commits a crime against an innocent “black” person you see racism and that’s because you already see in black and white. I see a criminal harming the innocent. But hey it’s a free country. If you want to be a racist punk knock yourself out. But at the end of the day only innocent lives matter and the rest can get prosecuted or shot… Including vandals, looters and arsonist of any color.
Jesus was semitic. Which is associated with the white race. He was not black and not Asian. You people should bone up on your history. You’re making yourselves look pretty, stupid and racist.
Somebody needs to tear your head off punk
Jesus is from Israel. Stop bullying God’s Creation and Who He Decides to color our skin. Israelites are typically white to light brown. Get a Life and leave Jesus alone and his Iraeli mother. She was not European, Get Educated!
Betty I’m wondering why people have a problem accepting Jesus’ nationality and have to make him like themselves? Jesus is a Jew because GOD chose the Jews that he was to come from! They’re making Jesus the way they want him to be and not who he really is. That is a false gospel!
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. amen
Amen.
Lord help use.🙏🙏
Amen
Amen!
Agree completely. We should recite this at every public gathering right before we sing the national anthem. God bless America.
Amen
If you are offended by a white Jesus Christ, then put up a black Jesus Christ. I sure don’t care and I wouldn’t be offended.
You have no right in hell to tear that down.
It is in the constitution of religious freedom.
Leaving it along.
Jesus loves all people including you .
Right on they have a right to have their own faith in their own religion this is gone too far this is ridiculous all life matters what they want black statues only up because they matter more than everybody else that’s ridiculous
May God have mercy on his soul what a disgrace to the American people if they remove that statue!!!!
STOP in the name if God ! Just stop ! It is pretty well established what the Son of God looked like! Egypt was much closer than Europe anyway! If you can’t be respectful
Be quiet !
