Angel food vs Devils food
White vs Chocolate
Bland vs Extraordinary
White vs brown
OR
How about marbled
More like reality
Why is white
associated with
angles where did
that come from
Why brown
(chocolate)
with devils
Probably the
Christian cult
of Judaism
Alas God in
A burning bush
was surely not white
but some color
associated with
burning shrubbery
perhaps yellow
red or blue if hot
enough
Those religious
progenitors were
surely not white
but brown or
olive
only in the
alchemy of
Crusades-era
European
xenophobia
have they
become white
likewise brown
and black must
always be
devils
Where did these
ideas come from
like everything
else our ancestors
invented them
along with all
the pantheons
of all the gods
that have ever
plagued human
kind
but back to the
question
angle food or
devils food
dark as sin
for me
oh shoot
now I’ll have
to deconstruct
sin…

Looking forward to you deconstructing sin 😆 White Jesus is famous because of the depictions of artists over the centuries, imo. But you’re right, there is a good level of racism involved today. There are Eastern borrowings in Christian art, like Buddhist halos… The Eastern Orthodox church, which my father once belonged to, paint their icons with a more inclusive pallet.

I’ve done that before, but not here. So I’ll try it anew, see if I’m any more persuasive if I tackle it more poetically…
You are of course right about artistic depictions, but I’ll stick to my thesis as well…; -)
