Christians Call for Boycott of New TV Show 'Black Jesus' (Video)
"The Boondocks" creator Aaron McGruder has come up with a new
controversial comedy show entitled "Black Jesus" for the Adult Swim
network.
A trailer (below) for the TV program portrays Jesus as an
African-American living in the predominantly black city of Compton,
California, which is part of Los Angeles County.
Black Jesus, played by Gerald "Slink" Johnson, tries to spread love and kindness while people
ask him for winning lottery numbers and gang bangers harass his
neighborhood. Black Jesus occasionally curses, but his profanity is
bleeped out, notes The Christian Post.
However, Christian-based activist group One Million Moms and Pastor
David A. Rodgers of the House of Prayer for All Nations Ministries in
Chicago want the show pulled before it airs.
In an open letter addressed to Adult Swim, Pastor Rodgers writes on his Facebook page:
We, the Christian community are vehemently opposed and violently offended at this upcoming program soon to air on your channel called, 'BLACK JESUS.' The level of disrespect aimed at the depiction of our Lord and Savior is inexcusable. We are hard pressed to find any value in this program, its message or its purpose.

As a group of believers, we are prepared to launch a mass
campaign and boycott of your channel and any advertisers that are
financially profiting from this program. These continued attacks against
our Christian values and the degrading imagery of the Lord Jesus
Christ, will be met with social media awareness to the entire Christian community and a targeted boycott of your advertisers.

The late night programming on the Cartoon Network, known as Adult
Swim, plans to air the non-animated show "Black Jesus" portraying Jesus
as a "black guy living in the hood." The show depicts him living in
Compton Gardens and makes a mockery of our Lord. The foul language used
in the trailer, including using the Lord's name in vain, is disgusting.
In addition, there is violence, gunfire and other inappropriate gestures
which completely misrepresent Jesus. This is blasphemy!
One Million Moms then asks Christians to email Adult Swim and "tell them you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their 'do not advertise; list in protest of this anti-Christian bigotry."

However, the trailer does not appear to show any anti-Christian bigotry.
There is also a Facebook community group, organized by Anthony Pollard, entitled "Boycott the 'Black Jesus' TV Show."

A petition on Change.org states, "Using someones [sic] sacred religion in a disrespectful way for entertainment should never be accepted in our society, no matter what religion it may be. The show is also very degrading to the black community."
For his part, McGruder has stated, "As for me, I'm finally putting a life of controversy and trouble-making behind me with my upcoming Adult Swim show, 'Black Jesus.'

WHERE IN THE HELL WAS THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH FOR THIS MADNESS
YOU CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ARE NOTHING BUT THE COONS FOR THE WHITE MAN
2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
JESUS IS A BLACK MAN
Rev 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
