This is from me in 2015 when I was the Senior Justice Writer at the New York Daily News. White Jesus is a figment of the white supremacist imagination. It’s not harmless. It’s an explicit tool of oppression. In film. In art. Everywhere. https://t.co/nNDdpXGoB6
If your religion requires Jesus to be a blonde haired blue eyed Jesus, then your religion is not Christianity, but white supremacy. Christian whiteness, not white Christianity, has been the primary religion of this country for hundreds of years. https://t.co/eTQr3cWTHn

RT @shaunking: Yes. All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down. They are a gross form white supremacy. Created as tools of oppression. Racist propaganda. They should all come down.
RT @shaunking: Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been. In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not Denmark. Tear them down.

RT @AMDanQuart: I have been waiting to cast my vote to #Repeal50A for years. Today, I finally got the chance. This victory is a testament to the power of protest and to the tireless work of police accountability activists who refused to let this measure die, even when it was unpopular.
RT @Jasmyne: This is what an election year will get you. And you know what--I'll take it. I'll take it, but I'm clear why she did it. And of course, it's a long way from charges to a conviction. We'll stay the course on this one as we do with all such cases. https://t.co/YhSpYWUU3W
