why did Christians turn Jesus into a Caucasian Figure?

So true. Could you imagine a white supremacist giving praise to a black Jesus. Wouldn't happen. I truly believe that Jesus was of middle eastern descent. I mean, come on, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Jerusalem where they are predominantly middle eastern.

Because the Italian government commissioned famous painters like Michelangelo to paint religious iconography for them that reflected their own culture, turned out they did such a good fucking job with all that beautiful artwork that the images became hugely popular, inspiring centuries of copycats, along with churches around the world adopting the art to help illustrate the stories.
No priest will ever try and tell you Jesus was white, it's just that those original renaissance paintings were so beautiful they even changed the worldwide perception of Christianity. Perhaps that happening is a nod to the superficiality of Christianity and religion in general.

Yeah, I mean, what are the odds of a white guy being born in the damn middle east?? Complete bullshit.

And people are gonna be ignorant to jewels dropped anyways. I mean look at Islam, Muhhammad is touted as being an Arab, the Koran remains taught in Arabic and they see that they are keeping it real by that whenever its spread. Yet its still hate when you got Arab-centric Arab-African muslims systematically wiping out native indigenous Africans like they spreading Islam as if it was a physical genetic trait.

what's weird is to see Jesus art from the early Christian days. White Jesus was born in the 1400's, because there was no universal way of painting Jesus. It was believed that Jesus was God, so therefore you can't paint God so you can't paint Jesus. Early Jesus art.
from 330AD
4th Century AD
3rd Century AD
Believed to be in the 30's AD!! So either in Jesus's lifetime, or just shortly after his resurrection
