Jesus was made into all races just liek Santa Claus. It's easier to believe in something that has the same background as you. Another tactic used to control the masses. Same deal with Virgen da Guadalupe.
was it to push forward Christianity in Europe, as Christianity was mainly a European religion? IMHO The followers and believers of Christianity would not have taken a colored man seriously..
It's because of the fact that historically whites have never respected other races, so of course they couldn't allow an important figure like Jesus to be anything other than white.

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.
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.
