What is Black Love?

[BmoreGorilla]

In my eyes, yes.
Up to that point, the rest of her family was on board with the idea of rejecting the idolization of a fictional white character.
Proof was presented to her from the very book she "studied" and constantly read and quoted. And she STILL forced Black Jesus down from the wall because the family was experiencing TOO much good fortune.


Black Jesus came down.
Cac Jesus was put back up.
And it was business as usual in the Evans household.


And calm down, my brotha.
This is all just my humble opinion.

My nikka did you forget this



She straight rumbled with some BGs

My moms had this in the basement. When I got old enough to understand it I was disgusted. But black folks of that generation always had art supporting black love

I'm calm. She was in the wrong on that episode for a plethora of reasons. The thing is, I always forgave her for what she stood for
because ignoring WHAT Jesus looks like, his message and actions were what was most important. The topic of conversation certainly
should have been about what one can do to be more like him, rather than what his ethnic background was. Every culture on the
face of the earth interprets their deities differently. Florida was a poor, moderately educated woman living in the Chicago projects
who cared more about instilling righteousness and education in her children.

By the very nature that J.J. and Micheal were able to reason that the white Jesus couldn't have been correct is a credit to
how James and principally Florida ran the household. Micheal wasn't out on the corner up to no good, he was groomed and encouraged
to follow his curiosities. Florida's POV was that of a lowly housewife just hoping to make a way.

Her heart was. But her mentality was submissive to the cac Jesus hanging up on the wall.

She was just of that generation. All my grandparents had images of white Jesus all over the place. It was until the 60s and 70s that black pride became popular. My parents used to always talk about how my grandparents used to get on them for wearing Afros

I hear what you're saying.

But, that Black Jesus episode did it for me as far as Florida Evans was concerned.
Again, Michael showed her the description of Jesus from the bible she allegedly knew from cover to cover.
She was in a state of disbelief.
She grudgingly allowed Black Jesus to go up.
Then, again, when good shyt started to happen for the family, Black Jesus had to go.

It was as if she was trained to accept shortcomings.

Black Jesus = a brighter future.
Cac Jesus = same ole bullshyt.
