Is this racist.....

[juggy4805]

I was watching an episode of Good Times on TVone and this was the description. Maybe it was a typo mistake but I found it odd. I can't remember if I posted this here already.......oh well.

"JJ stirs up a storm with his painting of Jesus as a black."

nobody thinks Jesus is white...

 

[alandutch]

I think he means the fact that it says "A Black"

I'm not talking about the episode. The description. I'm not a "black", I am a person.

[taimaishu123]

i think he is talking about tvone saying "as a black" not talking about jesus being black.

...& Mild? Who says that anymore hahaha...it's not racist, it is comically anachronistic tho...like callin somebody "colored"... I'm black, it don't bother me...

 

[bottom74bottom]

Clearly the noun was implied rather than explicitly stated due to spacial constraints on the visual display... wait, I mean, THAT'S RACIST!!

 

[ruxxx]

Nope.
Now "boy" on the other hand....

 

[politicsasusual]

If said something along the lines of "...painting of Jesus as a Sweet Soul Brother" then I'd give em the crooked eye...

Why do Jews look white now?

 

[solecity]

Jesus is Dominican

 

[scott frost]

Jesus is Dominican

I'm sure it was supposed to read "as a black MAN", but the "man" part was cut off. If you read the discriptions often enough you will see this happens a lot.

Huh? Most of the world's population of Jews are of Eastern European descent.


The show caption isn't racist, because no one really knows the intention behind it, but it is worded awkwardly at the very least.

No. If it was cut off there would be no period ending the sentence nor a word in parentheses following it.
