    Shaun King Retweeted Shaun King

    School literally told a local reporter "we have Christian standards to uphold." They've confused Christian with white. The school has pictures of white Jesus and white disciples with long hair everywhere. According to their images, long-hair should be preferred.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1029754753373356032 …

    This is absolutely infuriating. This sharp young Black boy, clean as ever, gets kicked out of school because he has dreads. His father rightfully struggles to maintain his emotions at the disappointment of it all. pic.twitter.com/WOpUGLqg8l

        Yep. And that control included money. They didn't want priests having a family because when they died, the church wanted whatever they had.

        They also didn't want priests to marry because they would share any wealth with their spouse while alive. This began in 11th or 12th cent.

        That's short compared to the ones I've seen. For some reason all the Jesus's in the churches I grew up in looked like he could have been the lead singer in an 80's hair metal band.

        I always argued with my mom that there was no way Jesus was white just because of where he was from.

        Ask them where their “Christian standards” are when their priests are sexually abusing children.

        Uh where in Christian doctrine does it say “thou shalt not have locks of dread” (just for language “authenticity”)..... ask them to point it out. They can’t. Because it doesn’t exist. Love thy neighbor. That’s it. That’s all the christian standard you need

        His face.... the messages his seeet brain just took in. I hope a big lawsuit is slapped on them- and that this child has a network around him to show just how loved he is...as he is!
