The network issued a statement Today saying, “Black Jesus is a satire and one interpretation of the message of Jesus played out in modern day morality tales; and despite what some may consider a controversial depiction of Jesus, it is not the intent to offend any race or people of faith.”

all I’m saying is that the little iv’e watched of it there is some message… if Jesus actually talked back to people that asked for selfish stuff like the lotto numbers he would tell them we have real things out here and youre asking about lotto numbers
And I have the option to petition as well. As u have the option to disagree
what im saying is you have the option to skip the channel… you have the option to block said channel from your tv…
i never mentioned money Christian Jackson… who is it harming?
And I’m making my voice heard where I can. Helping where I can. The easiest thing I could have done was sign the petition instead just complaining about it. I looked for it. I do the same for our innocent people being sent to jail or to send a crooked cop to jail for putting a man in a Choke Hold for no reason. If there is something I can can do about us on the verge of going to war or the genocide out there pls let me know. This rgt here is where I know my signature means something. Because I don’t have the frying pan nor the grease to fry the fish of war…
Joe Franklin whose to determine if this isn’t the big fish or not? My point is start somewhere. There are jus something’s that u shouldn’t play with and this is one of them. It infuriates me more that it’s My people. That energy couldn’t have been put into something positive. Ok they makin money u say, let them live, so basically go where the money is huh? People are to quick to sell their souls for a dollar. What I Do agree with u is there being a message in it somewhere. I Do agree that him being that setting could help someone. Turning water into Henny, saying he wanna hit that & turning pointing at a grill to bring fire to light his *black, I’m sry is not the way to do it. Most people can’t get past the comedy to even look that deep into it and u know it…. Why do u think the majority of communication sent out in America was at 5th grade level. Common sense isn’t common and this does more harm than good.
Joe Franklin I also thought that maybe it would be a comedy with a message but when the guy in the beginning asked Jesus for the lottery numbers and Jesus got mad and cussed him out and told him he stinks?? I must don’t think this is something I can agree with plus if Jesus was for EVERYBODY then I should be able to sit down with a child and watch this show even with a little comedy in it but everyone don’t have to agree with me.
yea and they are doing the same with Exodus and did the same with Noah
Joe Franklin why are you leaving? I’m just asking questions? I do believe when the Passion of the Christ came out Jesus was white or looked white and people still had problems with the movie. some boycotted it, some said Jesus wasn’t like that also
Because there ARE people raining down fire and brimstone on this show.. not saying its going on in here but there is some unfair judgement and saying someone is hellbound is wrong… no one has the right nor call to say so…i was generalizing the WHOLE argument about the show.. not limited to these posts because I havent seen any THAT crazy…..yet
Joe Franklin so why the others can’t have an observation of what they saw compared to what they read in Gods word. why can YOU say they are judging and yours is just observation?
i bet you would have NO problem if they had Puerto Rican Buddha.. ..anyway I already see where this is going…. 5000
i meant FINAL judgement… saying someone is hellbound and all that…calling out sins against God… all that… FINAL JUDGEMENT is Gods.. calling someone uptight is an observation.
Joe Franklin you said judgement is up to God but then judged by calling people uptight because they don’t agree with YOU!!!!
Monica Phillips I agree and Angelo P Veal had some interesting points.
let those actors live because there are people out here who literally aren’t living
truthfully Christian Jackson, i agree with what the people said. there ARE bigger fish to fry out here than getting upset over artistic freedom and personal representation… we are on the verge of World War, endemics, and genocide out here and a T.V show being canceled wont stop whats going on
Signed @Christian Jackson
so what would you say if this show helped someone get saved or what have you? i think undue judgement is being passed on these actors and ADULT Swim. last time i check judgement was left to God. This show is showing basic relation…it’s funny that people talk about Jesus on one hand and said he hung with the lowest of the low and poorest of the poor but when a show depicts him doing just that then it’s blasphemous. It’s showing a Jesus (although the trailer hints at him just being crazy) that THOSE people can relate to and who is probably helping them through direct correlation because he’s going through the struggle with them. There is a hidden message in this show and i bet by the end of the season it will be revealed. Too bad people are too high on their horses and uptight to give it a chance.
Christian Jackson I just signed the petition, it said only 63 more signatures needed well 62 now so those that want the show cancelled sign the petition Let’s Go!!
Kingsmen White I like what Angelo P Veal said in his 11th post or so up about them having their constitutional rights of freedom of speech as christians have their rights to worship but we really don’t have freedom of religion any more they are fighting to take God out of Everything! my question is what’s going to happen when God is no longer allowed to be apart of what He created! can you imagine?

It is getting deep…well ladies n gents I have a paper to finish. As always thanks for the healthy debate with great minds. I love reading multiple view points on subjects. Nite all
Havent seen the show, so im on the sidelines listning and taking notes..
PUPPETS AND , PUPPET MASTERS
Angelo P Veal you said something earlier and my little bro just said something similar. he said that the guy that produces these shows are making them in the eyes of how we would see each other to the point that he would even interview some people in Compton and ask them H oW would they like Jesus to be and then produce it in hopes that people in hoods around the world would like it and relate to it. #ThisIsGettingDeep
Yeah, a bit out if the loop. Adult Swim has been on for a while.
Naw, when they stripped him if the boondocks they gave him something in return. I think in his anger he went as far out on a limb as he could to generate controversy as a perverbial fu
because I never even heard of this swim network until this show so it could be about network marketing or maybe I’m just out of the loop with late night tv
Angelo P Veal Ayanna Lyrical Resonation Walker i was just here thinking like why is it on this adult swim network? Maybe the big networks didn’t want to touch this and this network knew it would build a buzz because they know people will still watch it. #JustThinking
Now there Kingsmen White, You have a very valid argument. Don’t play with the ignorant mind. I think a disclaimer is necessary to express that this is satire and not connected with the bible.
my main concern was that we all know the penalty from blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and I’m. it saying the show is doing this but why even play around or flirt with something that might have consequences like that. You see we all know or believe in God but what about people that don’t know and start to think that this could be how God’s son really is. I know they trying to make a comedy but I also didn’t see any disclaimers at the beginning of the show but I’ll look again to see if I missed it!
Christianity was dressed for the masses in the very beginning when Paul took it to the Gentiles and they were afraid of circumcision. When people wanted to keep their sabbath. It is always packaged for the masses. The compromise has always been necessary
My biggest issue is why is change an excuse today. Jesus walked amongst all type of folks and never adjusted to them to get the message across. Today people think we need to dress God up like the world to get his message heard when he remains the same today as yesterday. We are to be separated but I keep seeing is compromise. In the church as well as television shows. Standing up for Christ and who he is is not judging but standing on a firm belief. Why is every movement ok but when we as Christians rep God we’re demonized?
He also told us to try the spirit by the spirit that gives you authority over things that’s not of him! I Iove discussions also. Angelo P Veal you have to tune in more often and let us know
Yes, and I love discussion… But; most are not discussing… Give some of them a crown of thorns and watch them place it… A whip and watch them swing it. If it is not to the glory of God; HE WILL deal with it. We are to love our neighbor not in judgement, but with the patience of The Lord.
The truth is people judge each other all day but it’s not a problem until religion is involved. I sit here and watch the comments online from mostly ladies that watch shows like love and hip-hop and no one never mentions them judging people.
That’s why we are here discussing it Angelo P Veal
I believe in the right to say what we want. As long as you’re not preaching HATE for anyone’s beliefs, trying to make any person seem less than you because they don’t believe like you believe. Pushing off your beliefs as the ultimate right, your fine. Perspective is everything. I do believe two of the principle things in Christianity are patience and forgiveness. Christ said something about the hecklers from the cross.. One thing to be Christian another to live it.
I also think relationship with the spirit is very important too so we know by conviction. Even when I was in the streets I still I had respect and didn’t play around with God’s holy name!
The reason this show is on the air is people are so removed from God that they don’t fear him like the bible days and they don’t think that curses come from blasphemy so they continue to disrespect Christ
Was turning water to wine done for the lords purpose?
Was not his doubt in the end a sin?
Angelo P Veal that’s the point JESUS didn’t SIN! And I’ll continue to go against this show and I won’t make any excuses for behavior based on where he is/was
I mean really; has anyone ever asked themselves the question of what it might be like if Jesus was alive today? If he were a black man raised in say Compton or Youngstown… What would his life be like… Is it so bad to make a comedy of what it may be like? Or is that so unimaginable that it’s blasphemous to consider? Smh, so many of you have sentenced these people to burn in hell… Let he without sin cast the 1st stone. I’ll pile up the rocks and wait
I really try not to be so judgmental because that’s not right as well but on this I will stick with my gut feeling
I think god would think its funny
I had not seen the show. I just watched it. It really didn’t seem that bad. The Jesus character turned water to wine and really was spreading positivity among the people he talked to. Listen to the things people asked him for & what he offered in return. It wasn’t really that funny but… To me that was the only crime
I do apologize Kingsmen White but im not interested. Enough is enough people sell their soul to the devil to make a couple of dollars
Marie Miller click the link and check the first episode. Hope its the last
These people have no fear of God so sad,smh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven’t seen it… I don’t play around or condone nonsense such as that. Just really hearing about it and absolutely not pleased
I’m a lil dumbfounded.
Exactly. ….when do we wake up. How maby family shows do we have being produced. We always have to be shown as ghetto..or hood… yesterday we were only maids or butler material. ..niw were portrayed less then that.
Angelo P Veal we speak out about ALL of those and not just this one!!!!
Sumtingwong Witchu Saunders he went too far!!!
I think they trying to get front row seats in hell!! smh!!
This is some ignorant arse ish!!!!! Aaron McGruder did THIS? I’ve enjoyed the Boondocks, but this is OVER THE TOP!!!!!
IT MAKES ME ASAMED OF OUR BLACK MOVIES, AND ASHAMED OF THE PEOPLE SHI WROTE, PRODUCED, AND PAID FOR THIS SATTIRE, ARE WE STILL PLAYING THE BAFOON! GUESS SO WILLING AND READY, WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE COMIDAIN, THE SPOOF THE ONES WHO INTERTAIN LIKE THIS, JUST LIKE WE HAD TO ACT A FOOL FOR THE MASTER IN THE TIME OF SLAVERY, WELL GUESS WE AR NOT QUITE READY TO BE FREE
How many of you watch family guy?!? American Dad? The Simpsons? Every show on television now has some sort of sacrilegious innuendo in it. Further more, just as it is your constitutional right to worship as you please, these people have the constitutional right to free speech. If it is not your sort of humor… Don’t watch it. But don’t seek to destroy something because you don’t like it… What Bout all the other pointless television people are paying attention to… Real Housewives of Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop, Basketball Wives… All of that is okay though… Huh?!?
THIS MOVIE, MAKES ME ASHAMED OF OUR BLACK MOVIES, WE ARE STILL WILLING TO PLAY BAFOON ! WE HAVE TO GO TO THE EXTREMES OF SATIRE, INDTEAD OF TRUTH AND LEARNING. NO TO THIS MOVIE, AND THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING, PRODUCING AND PAYING MONEY.
See lol its a mess
they got Jesus smoking weed? smh
BLASPHEMY and DISRESPECTABLE,I couldn’t watch but 5 mins of this mess,I just cant believe this,what is this world coming too!!!!!!
When does humor go to far? I don’t think I’m to deep. I’m a holistic approach person. Modern approach to old tactics
I can’t believe the actors that signed on to play in this mess! I was disappointed in that too
DON’T WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE CLIP, THIS IS A SPOOF, THAT MAKES ME FEEL ASHAME I DON’T KNOW WHY WE HAVE TO POKE FUN AND BE COMEDIAN IN ALL OF OUR MOVIES DON’T MAKE THIS A PART OF WHO WE ARE. T HE MORE OF US GO SEE THIS THE MORE MOVIES THEY WILL MAKE
Jason Stephens Sr. you won’t be laughing after you watch it lol
I didn’t see it …I will sign it and post it for others.
Right Christian Jackson
And I sent a petition around through change.org to have the show cancelled. Some of the responses I got from that were disappointing as well. People saying there’s more important things to worry about or concerned about. Where do u start if u don’t start here…
Jason Stephens Sr. Click the link and I have the first episode posted in the story
I posted my comment on Kingsmen White website but trying to see the positive in this because I witness to a lot of street people the Other Sheep so I was hoping that this could be a tool to help reach them because you have to take a different approach with them but No Compromise this show have been Compromised and is very disrespectful and WE AS CHRISTIANS should make our voices Heard Our Silence is Our Sin.
Someone at my job showed me the trailer and I immediately was disgusted. It was a 10 min trailer and I couldn’t get past 3. I just don’t understand why of all things in the world to mess with, why this? I feel like my grandparents when I say “we are at the end of out days.” And why does this have to come from Black people. Just so many whys, I have. It’s crazy to see so many comments and stats say that they know it’s wrong and bad but they have to watch it. How weak are you? It really saddens me, I’m raising a child through this
Well u know I haven’t seen it yet Vester…. I gotta see what y’all on u know imma news, old shows, #Masterchef , #HellsKitchen type of dude…. but imma watch it, or look for the preview and holla bak…. but we gotta quit being so deep sometimes… matter of Fact God loves humor…. but there is a line… that must be avoided don’t get me wrong
I have not watched it because after the preview of the show I felt disrespected. I don’t see any other race or culture with Jesus depicted as this one. I refuse to give the show ratings. We are also a laugh with a warning label of no offense attached to it every time. They don’t paint their faces anymore. .we just perform with a smile and entertain america as they make money off the mess. Just my 2 cents
I was trying to look for the positivity in this film as I watched this because I am a street Evangelist and I witness to drug dealers, prostitutes, gangbangers etc so there is a different approach that’s needed for them so I was looking for that and I don’t see it so my thoughts on this film is thumbs down! Yes it is disrespectful and we as Christians should come together and shut it down! Our Silence is Our Sin.
@Sam did you watch it yet bro?
