Billy Graham, Race of Jesus

A 1971 clip of evangelist Billy Graham describes Jesus as a man of "dark color" who belonged to Africa, Asia, and Europe. Graham emphasizes that a Black man helped Jesus carry the cross and that Christianity is a "world religion," not a "white man's religion." The hosts use this to support the idea that historical and scientific views on race often conflict with traditional Western portrayals.

Black Jesus and the Good Times Debate

Mo plays a clip from the 1970s sitcom *Good Times* where the family debates the race of Jesus. They contrast this with a 1963 speech by Malcolm X, who argued that Jesus was a revolutionary who would be with the oppressed in America today. They also feature Billy Graham, who famously stated that Jesus was not a white man and belonged to Africa and Asia as much as Europe.
