    Because he's the son of God

    And according to Europeans or those of European descent, the son of God has got to be white like them and not some dirty brown curly haired middle eastern Arab.

    Probably because 95% oft all people in the medieval age and prior (where this specific depiction of portrait-jesus emerged) have never seen a black person all their life - including artists. Can't blame people for drawing people as they know them.

    Yeah the Moors controlled the Iberian peninsula for nearly 800 years from 711-1492.

    I mean, yes, black people were present but in very small numbers, and their presence was rare enough that they often stood out significantly in the historical record. The most were probably around the southern borders of todays europe, like spain, italy and greece, but black people in todays germany, poland or even further up north were an absolute rarity. Even in southern europe, black people were rare enough that many people only saw a handful of them in their lifetime.

    Because many haven't? It's not like people in medieval europe could take a quick trip with ryanair from tel aviv to berlin lmao. Black people in central europe were rare enough that many people have never seen one in their life. Most of them were around the borders of todays southern europe.

    I can already tell you're not at all well versed in this topic. Have you heard of a concept called trade mate? Did you know that before the Roman empire even existed a network of trade and safe passage was made that could traverse from China to the furthest western point of Europe including India, the steppes and African trade (east coast). Also you keep going back to 'black people" like wtf is this discount American eugenics take. Bro the religion is middle eastern, people knew what they looked like, there's thing thing called art and sculptures which help those who never seem one understand what they look like. But none of this even matters you turned into a race thing, it was a cultural shift, the 14th century did a white jesus start coming up in some obscure art and didn't really take off till the 20th century (white jesus) Just another fat L, Tel Aviv wasn't a thing back then, tf you choose that awful fucking city full of earth's worst people. call it by it's real name. Jaffa

    This is fundamentally incorrect, and I can prove it - better yet, someone else already has in these comments.

    This sentence could land you in prison for life if they go ahead with "suspending" habeas corpus. Remember folks, if your detention cannot be challenged legally, it doesn't matter AT ALL whether your detention was legal. If you think they'll never come for you, you're forgetting that they'll rely on the volunteer army of MAGA "informers" who will turn you in for treason because you annoyed them by being kind to someone they were bullying or something completely trivial. Without habeas corpus, suspicion is sentencing.

    I know first hand of an anti- DEI-ban protest that occurred on a college campus in a red state. I also know first hand that the Turning Point USA group chat had at least one individual, a student of that same university, threaten to call ICE on this university-approved peaceful protest, as they were upset at the noise.

    Are you saying that only the Central Intelligence Agency wants the USA to stop using destructive and limited fuel sources?

    No, but the CIA wants to discredit critics by making progressives look extreme with ridiculous psyop campaigns.

    daepicgamerbro69 : right next to the part that says you’re a moron.

    Lyra,

    You said in another post today you have memory problems. I have extreme severe brain damage. Maybe you have problems like I do?

    no need to compliment me aha

    Do you go all over Lemmy being insincere and mocking what you don't grasp or understand?

    You could have just said “Yes, you’re correct”

    You could have said that to me as moderator of my community when you seem highly confused and made a claim a post broke rules. But instead, you insulted me instead of actually addressing your misunderstanding.
