Say Hello To Cesare Borgia

Now I bet your first reaction was, hey that's a picture of Jesus! In reality it is a man named Cesare Borgia who has been passed off as the literal representation of Jesus for centuries for political purposes.

Revalation 1:14 "his hair was white like wool"

Revalation 1:15 "his feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace"

These accounts from the Bible certainly don't describe the image we've come to know as Jesus. That man we've come to know is Cesare Borgia, son of Pope Alexander VI. Yes, priests had children back in those days. Rodrigo Borgia of Spain became Pope Alexander VI in 1492. Curious that he became Pope the same year that Cristoforo Columbo supposedly discovered America. 1492 goes down as the year that the entire planet was hoodwinked by the Roman Catholic Church. During Alexander VI's term the Christians were fighting the Holy Crusades against the so called infidels. The enemy that the church was fighting was the northward movement of Islam as far up into Europe as Germany. These Middle Eastern Islamics took control of Constantinopole in Turkey and threatened the stronghold that the Roman Empire and in turn the church had on the world at the time. Pope Alexander used the age old tacticof discrediting an opponent to weaken his position. One major obstacle that faced Alexander and the church was the fact that Jesus, who their entire religion was based on was physically the same as the Islamics that they were fighting against. He was represented in all paintings, carvings and sculptures as the dark skinned man of Middle Eastern origin that he was. Nazareth certainly was in the Middle Eastern area that later came under the influence of Islam. How could they possibly convince their constituency of the wickedness of the enemy when their own messiah looked like them? Although the original Christians were certainly Middle Eastern people of color, by the time Alexander ascended to the papacy, Europeans had long taken control ofthe church. Pope Alexander VI's solution was to have every image of the real Jesus destroyed and literally had the Vatican gutted and redone. He commissioned Leonardi Di Vinci to recast Jesus in the image of his son Cesare Borgia with the express intent of passing off historical Jesus as European in appearance. To this day, there are armed guards stationed around the clock at the entrances of the catacombs to keep anyone from viewing the original wall carvings of Jesus in his legitimate ethnic representation.

To further clarify the point that the blonde hair, blue eyed representation of Jesus is an abomination you need to look no further than the ansectral lineage of Jesus. Jesus was a Hebrew. He was a descendant of Moses from the House of David. Moses was a Hebrew who passed as an Egyptian. Regardless of what many will assert, Egypt is in Africa. David was an African Hebrew. This is the family tree of Jesus.

I think this is an important issue simply for the fact that it is a historical untruth and misrepresentation that we can and should correct. In my eyes it has nothing to do with inherent evil associated with any racial or ethnic group as many people who are intent on using this tragedy to point out and prove white people as uniformly evil. I don't believe that this knowledge means that people of color are better Christians or that white Christians are any less righteous because they possess less pigmentation that the historical figure Jesus. It is simply a reality that we have an obligation to correct in the name of fair play. This is something that we should all embrace as a means of acceptance and healing.
