What? No. Rashida Talib is literally a palestinian house representative who has been saying all this for awhile now. Dems can and should be doing more, but both sides aren’t the same here. If she somehow took the stage at CPAC she would without question be attacked.

Jesus was a Capricorn
He ate organic food
He believed in love and peace
And never wore no shoes

Long hair, beard and sandals
And a funky bunch of friends
Reckon we’d just nail him up
If he came down again

‘Cause everybody’s gotta have somebody to look down on
Who they can feel better than at any time they please
Someone doin’ somethin’ dirty decent folks can frown on
If you can’t find nobody else, then help yourself to me

“It’s inappropriate.”

"To pray?”

“There’s an appropriate time.”

“It is the appropriate time.”

“No, you have to listen to your authorities, which is your pastor.”

Authorities?

A pastor isn’t much of an authority, is he? I’m from the UK, so the religious are seen more as kooks.

The UK has a national church.

You have a national religion.

Not all of your religious are seen as kooks

I suppose my meaning is the “strongly religious” - as in the ones who include it as part of their identity - are seen as kooks.

He was a theology teacher. I think he knows. The article says he knew that church was conservative but thought they might be the best group to hear his message because they don’t hear such from anyone else.

I wanted to reply with a picture of black Jesus, but holy shit, image searche yields just page after page of garbage AI art. Mostly from etsy. Often without nipples, because AI still can’t figure out brown nipples on brown people
