Imagine my chagrin, many years later when I realized that the blonde Nordic Jesus as depicted by the LDS church was probably just as inaccurate as those Black Christians had depicted way back when...

I think it speaks volumes about its racial hang-ups that the LDS Church does not represent Christ as a semitic, olive-skinned, dark-haired Jew.


Just because his mother was semitic doesn't mean his Father was.
