Reclaiming our Black Jesus Firebrand preacher Bishop TalbertSwan explains why the Jesus you were taught about is white by richardsudan
THE CHRISTIAN West refuses to come to terms with the reality of a black Jesus of African origin.“As Dr Freddie Haynes says, white Christians have been so busy being white they’ve never got around to being Christian.
He said Jesus spoke for the poor, was a champion of justice, and was born in Bethlehem where his descendants remain persecuted to this day.Jesus’ mother Mary was black. And so too were many biblical figures featured in the Bible. “Beside scripture and revelation which talks about feet like burnished brass, hair like lamb’s wool, when you look into the genealogy in the book of Luke, and the women in his genealogy like Rahab the Harlot, who was clearly a Caainanite, a black women.
“It’s only when you get to Hollywood that you get to Charlton Heston being Moses and Yul Brynner playing Pharaohs, films like the Passion of the Christ, that you see all of these white folks living in the middle of Africa” Born in Springfield Massachusetts, where he still resides, Bishop Talbert Swan gave his first sermon at age 15. One of his early memories is of campaigning for his uncle, Benjamin Swan, who served as a house representative between 2009 and 2016.
