Black Jesus...Am I Going to Watch It?

Some of the content of this post may seem obscene or offensive to some readers. Viewer Discretion is Advised!!!

So Aaron McGruder, creator of The Boondocks has made a new show called Black Jesus. Since I am a fan of the original Boondock cartoon, I was asked by a bud if I would be watching this show. Though I tip my hat off to him for the creativity, I can't support him in watching this show.

I'm not so staunch that I don't laugh at jokes that takes jabs at religion.  I get the premise, it's quite clever. I love how this trailer made me to wonder if the Jesus character really the Messiah or is me a man who thinks he is Son of God. I like that there is opposition to him being here. If there was opposing view when he was first on Earth, I know there will be some if he came to live here now The premise almost got me to watch the pilot. Thank God for this extended trailer. I can't support a show with a weed smoking, liquor drinking, profanity using Jesus character. And did the Jesus character throw up in people's faces that he died for their sins? Boasting to get his way? Even if this comes out to be a man who think he's Jesus, I still want him not to be so earthly. Lastly, why is Black Jesus so stereotypically ignorant? He couldn't be funny without the shuck & jive. Yeah, a fan of Tyler Perry said the Black Jesus character is a bit buffoonish for her taste.

According to Romans 12:2, the New American Standard version, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. If Christians, who are Christ like, are advised not to act like the world, why would this Jesus character come back to act worldly? I think it would be funny to see the hilarious calamity & misadventures of the current world with Jesus or someone who believes he is the Savior living here. I can some how awkward some of that could be. I just prefer my Jesus character to be delighted in shopping for fish & bread in a supermarket or wearing a few of the new fashions. I definitely can't envision him using his death, burial & resurrection as a means to take advantage. Even in the case of mental deluded person, some thing need to resemble the actions Jesus and not man.

So, that's my protest. I just won't watch the show. No signs needed!!! Just won't be getting Nielsen points from me. Let me know in the comments, will you be watch Black Jesus. Why or Why not?
