Justin Renel Joseph of Manhattan is suing New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art because of the way Jesus is depicted in a few paintings.

Mr Joseph, who is acting as his own lawyer, argues the “racist” paintings depicting an “Aryan” Jesus should be removed and that their inclusion at the attraction was an “extreme case of discrimination”, reported the New York Post.

He claims Christ had “black hair like wool and skin of bronze colour” and that, as a man with the same physical traits, he felt “rejected”.

The offending paintings causing him “personal stress” were ‘The Holy Family with Angels’ by Sebastiano Ricci; ‘The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes’ by Tintoretto; ‘The Crucifixion’ by Francesco Granacci; and ‘The Resurrection’ by Perugino

    These idiots should have to pay court costs when they are thrown out for being frivolous

    I didn’t know that Jesus was an albino. Somebody get him a bottle of SPF-5000, post haste!

    If he put that energy to a useful purpose, think of all the good he could do.

      Based on his filing of this lawsuit, I highly doubt he is capable of doing much good.

    He best avoid Utah. Mormon Jesus is white.

      Romney is white. Jebus is an albino. Put a guitar in his hands, a cowboy hat on his head, and he could go as Johnny Winter for Halloween. Ditch Mittens first, though.

    The Jesus in that picture looks Irish. Jesus was NOT IRISH!! He was supposedly a Jew and it was decided that he looked like a WASP.

    SJWs are as much a blight on Humanity as rightwing fundies.

    Well, first ya gotta prove that Jebus existed, then we need pictures, and an in-depth essay on why you aren’t suing over “Piss Christ.”
