Jesus Christ is Not an European and Christianity is Not Oppression

Truely, Jesus Christ is not of European origin, and may not have appeared as an European. His teachings were aimed primarily to the children of Israel. Jesus Christ did not invent Christianity, but rather it is Christianity that brought to light the wisdom of a very religious man, and made Jesus Christ famous.
The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement created a debate on the color of Jesus Christ and his teachings. Truely, Jesus Christ is not of European origin, and may not have appeared as an European. It is not clear how a brown Jesus could help Black Lives, better than a white Jesus.
Jesus Christ has never taken cognizance of people outside of Israel. Whether Jesus Christ is a racist or not is very difficult to judge or tell. He was concerned only about the children of Israel, and their misunderstanding of Holy Scriptures. He has repeatedly stated that the purpose of his arrival, is to make the children of Israel choose the correct path.
All ancient religions started in Asia, and almost all of them (as practised), are specifically devised for the convenience of a particular race or sect. The belief of the BLM activists that the brown color is not discriminatory or less discriminatory, is therefore very false.
Jesus Christ did not invent Christianity, but rather it is his followers, who collectively represented early Christianity, brought to light the wisdom of a very religious man. This collective wisdom grew by leaps and bounds in Europe, into modern day Christianity.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, medieval Christianity made every attempt to control states, using the simple powers vested in it, to heal the souls, by reading a prayer. The papacy intertwined with jewry, gained utmost power during the middle ages, and was totally authoritarian, until it ceded power in 15 Century.
A detailed examination of history of Christianity reveals that the Germans (Protestant Reformation) and British Royalty (King of England, Henry VIII) fought oppression in Christianity, that crept into the religion, during the middle ages. Finally, the Bible was placed in the hands of people, by the British Empire, which removed oppression and superstitional practices, to a large extent.
The Holy Bible, did mention about the appearance of a person (or group), called antichrist, who takes control of all religions, and considers himself the Almighty ("God"). The Holy Bible further stated, that the antichrist will attempt to destroy the church, and all faith. The over enthusiasm of BLM activists, in destroying the statues of Jesus Christ, is therefore very unwise.
BLM activists could play a supportive role in rebuilding faith in Almighty, which has greatly deteriorated, due to the actions of the antichrist.
