Right Wingers’ Shadow War Against Obama And These People ( non europeans )






In History's 'The Bible,' Satan Looks Like President Obama:



The role of Satan, i.e. the bad guy, is played by the actor Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni, who, thanks to makeup and other production tricks, bears a startling resemblance to President Barack Obama.


What the History Channel Is Getting Wrong About the Bible by Rev. Wil Gafney, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Biblical Hebrew and Jewish and Christian Scripture:



When they do cast a black actor it is to reinscribe some of the most base racialized stereotypes in the Americas: the big black man/dingo with a taste for white women.



Black Samson & White Women on the History Channel by Rev. Wil Gafney:



In the American context the Israelite identity has been claimed by Christians and particularly by Western, European Christians who were also constructing the categories of white into which they placed themselves and the Afro-Asiatic Israelites. And, the United States was viewed, claimed and seized as a new Canaan for the new Israelites to conquer and subdue, hosting the reincarnation and reenactment of biblical slavery painted in black and white. This is why the whitewash of the bible on the History Channel is so pernicious. It is a continuation of slave-holding racist exegesis. And they ought to be ashamed.
