Proof of the Black Jesus

Larry Wilmore provides us with some sound reasoning on why Jesus is of, as he calls it, a "homey heritage." Some of my favorites follow:

Clue #3: His cousin had the first hip-hop name: John the Baptist.

This is a good 2,000 years before Cedric the Entertainer.

Clue #8: He fed 5,000 with two loaves and five fish.

There is only one way to do this: Make gumbo. I’ve seen brothas who started with less feed more than 5,000.

Clue #13: He had street cred.

Yeah, he was born poor. Yeah, he didn’t have a job. Yeah, he had a white girlfriend. But Jesus never really took off till one of his posse betrayed him and had him killed. Instant street cred.

Clue #17: He rose from the dead in three days.

Why not two, or one, or instantly? Obviously, he was on cp time.
