How the European name “Jesus” impacts Black self image and identity


Why do we ascribe a European name to Christ? Spoiler alert, Jesus real name was not Jesus. Jesus is a Greek or European name. If the version of Christianity we have is made for Black peoples, then why do we keep Europeanizing the most important elements?

As always, make sure you consult a licensed medical professional before beginning any…

  1. My response to @rockmcdwayne1710
    I’M NOT HERE TO ARGUE OVER RELIGION
    WHICH I THINK IS SO STUPID TO GO DOWN
    THAT RABBIT HOLE,I WAS ONLY ILLITERATING
    ABOUT THE LETTER “J”. WHICH FIRST APPEARED IN THE 15th CENTURY, SURE MOST
    OF US KNOW THAT HIS NAME WAS YESHUA,
    AND MOST US MELENATED PEOPLE WANTS
    TO BE SCHOLARS, AND WE ALL WIPE OUR BACKSIDES WITH TOILET PAPER BUT WE
    DON’T MANUFACTURE IT, WE LOVE TO FUED
    OVER RELIGION AND MANUFACTURE NOTHING,THESE WHITE COLONIZERS STILL
    GOT US IN BONDAGE,MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL BONDAGE THAT IS, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO MOVE AWAY FROM THIS IGNORANCE?
    EVEN THE AWAKENED IS STILL STUCK ON STUPID, THE COLONIZERS DID A HELL OF A JOB ON OUR MINDS AND SPIRIT.

  2. Dude… seriously. If you want your ''african heritage'' when it comes to christianity then… GOPTIC CHRISTIANITY exists for crying out loud! Its the oldest form of christianity AND it originated from AFRICA and could still be found there! Goptic scriptures also happen to have oldest depictions of Jesus if you are interested. GO LOOK maybe you get… enlightened if you are so obsessed about it!

  3. The letter J was invented for the Italian language by Gian Giorgio Trissino in 15241. It was derived from a tailed form of i, which was used as an alternative way of writing I or as a consonantal initial i12. The letter J was not widely used in English until the 17th century2. so we can all agree his name isn't Jesus
