Black Activist Sues Metropolitan Museum of Art for Racist Paintings

It’s the Christmas season, that joyous time of year when malcontents are guaranteed to ooze out of the woodwork to make life miserable for everyone who wants to enjoy the holiday.

This year is no different.

New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art has been slapped with a lawsuit over the display of four paintings depicting Jesus as blond and — gasp! — white.

Justin Renel Joseph — who reminds us that he is a veteran, which he must think gives him some special standing — filed the lawsuit on November 30, stating that “the Racist Artworks depict the historical and public figure of Hebrew descent, Jesus Christ, as a blonde haired, fair-skinned, Aryan adult male, despite that an adult male native to the Middle-Eastern region of Hebrew descent who existed from approximately 1 B.C.E. to approximately 33 A.D. would not be genetically disposed to possess such features (i.e., blonde hair, fair-skin and other such Aryan features) and despite that historical accounts of Jesus Christ describe him with hair like wool and skin of bronze color.”

Here is one of the works of art which he finds “racist:”

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Museum, Elyse Topalian, stated what should be obvious to anyone with a modicum of historical knowledge: European painters of the time produced art which coincided with the cultural identity of that time and place. “When they were painted, it was typical for artists to depict subjects with the same identity as the local audience. This phenomenon occurs in many other cultures, as well,” she said.
