"Talcum X"
King, who most recently came under fire for his shady media company, drew both ridicule and threats online Tuesday for demanding statues showing a light-skinned Jesus be pulled down.
"Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happinessfirst will invariably fail.

King then extended his demands to include "all murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends." The Brooklyn-based King — who has denied being a white man masquerading as black — posted a photo of a dark-skinned Jesus that he says is the most accurate depiction.
"White Americans who bought, sold, traded, raped, and worked Africans to death, for hundreds of years in this country, simply could not have THIS man at the center of their faith," he said of the reason for images to lighten the skin of the son of God central to the Christian faith.
"Received about 20 death threats in the past 12 hours since I said that statues of white European Jesus are a tool of oppression for white supremacy and should be taken down," he wrote.
As well as threats, his tweets were met with ridicule from many online, with one follower asking, "Does it hurt to be this stupid? Honest question."
Along with the claims that he is really white — with his birth certificate listing two white parents — the former newspaper columnist has also faced scandals over his financial dealings.
