Is President Obama a Black Jesus or a Red Jesus?

Is President Obama a Black Jesus or a Red Jesus?

Film maker Spike Lee believes President Obama is a “Black Jesus.” I didn’t know he was Jewish! Of course, we really don’t know since there’s very little in the President’s background that we’re sure of. I’ll let other people deal with this subject. Here’s what Lee said in an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon as reported by Newsbusters:

“He was a savior, black Jesus. Look, I don’t care who it was. Expectations were way too high.”

Borrowing a line from his black Jesus as if it were a line of Scripture, Lee played the blame game, accusing

“Republicans of gridlocking Congress to prevent Obama from winning a second term — ‘a Congress that’s solidified as saying, “Whatever you do, we’re blocking that. We’re blocking, and every breath we take, we’re going to do what we can that you don’t get a second term. Bottom line. And if it hurts America in the process, tough business.”’”

This is typical of people who believe in salvation-by-politics. Let government do it. Give power to government no matter how unconstitutional, foolish, and harebrained a policy might be.

For Lee and so many other Blacks, politics is messianic.

The voting booth is their sanctuary. The vote is their communion. The rally is their church. The president is their bishop (Pope if they’re Roman Catholic). They have their high priests – Jesse Jackson Al Sharpton – a lesser group of ministers (literally) and prophets (or is it profits?) that preach and teach that government saves their bodies while Jesus saves their souls.

Are we surprised when a majority of blacks vote against Obama’s homosexual marriage position (souls) but will still vote for him come November because he will save them economically (bodies)?

In reality, Jesus is red for most blacks and probably an equal number of whites. So much of what passes for politics and economics in America is taken from the Communist Manifesto, the reddest of the red when it comes to political and economic theory and practice. Here are some of the main ones in a list of ten:

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form and combination of education with industrial production

PHILIPPIANS, CHAPTER 2

5     Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6     Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7     But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8     And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9     Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10     That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11     And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

To apply the name of Jesus to any other man is to walk on very dangerous ground.  But, just for the record, Jesus was black, or very dark complected.  He was a Hebrew, and they are not white as we are.

Obama has been nothing short of a blasphemous figure in the eyes of God for more than many reasons, but the most grievious in my eyes is that he NEVER once asked that the people stop referring to him as "The Messiah" this has chapped my hide from day one as I will not even address any man of the cloth as Reverend...There is only one that is to be revered and that is God & Christ, PERIOD!!! Those in Christ know that revere has 2 meanings...1) IS LOVE and 2) IS FEAR. Those not of Christ fall under the latter! I'm Sorry J'net but I don't for one minute believe Yeshua (That is his real name in the Hebrew) was Black. I do believe that as he was a carpenter in the flesh body that he may well have tanned to a more broze like color. Bit you must understand that he coming from the seed line of Adam and Yeshua being ETHAADAM meaning "ruddy complected" meaning blood shown in the face. In other words....This would not be so, of a black man.

Green Star to you Elaine. So many religions spoke of Jesus being ruddy complected (Olive complection).  Normally Jews are dark but I don't think anyone really knows the true complection of Jew or Hebrew due to mixed genes and family lines. What is most important is Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Most races will say Jesus were their race weather it be White, Black, Chinese, Indian, etc. It would be interesting to find the true race of Christ. But Olive Complection would be a bronze tone. I only know what the scriptures say and thats good enough for me.
