London- Monday, July 27, 2020/ https://africanpostonline.com/–London-based Ghanaian musician, Nana Richard Abiona, popularly known as Fuse ODG, has expressed displeasure with the use of “white Jesus” as a representation of God.
In a video he posted on his Instagram page, he described the portraying of Jesus as a white man the seed, “that gave birth to Hitler and his doctrine, this is the seed that gave birth to the KKK (Ku Klux Klan), the apartheid in South Africa, the Rwandan genocide, a people of colour bleaching across the globe”.
In the events that lead to the burning of the supposed image of Christ, Fuse described it as “unbiblical” and “idolatry”.
“If you read the Bible it specifically tells us not to create any images in the form of a man or a woman or any creature on earth. This is idolatry”, he said.
He further called for the removal of all images portraying God as white from all African churches since that was a tool of oppression.
He asked that as “Africans globally we need to question every aspect of Christianity especially if it cuts us off of our personal spirituality and the spirituality of our ancestors”.
The British Ghanaian award-winning international musician earlier called on blacks and Ghanaians to boycott American companies and products in solidarity of George Floyd and as a protest against racism and killing of Blacks in America.
