Today's TRMS
Rachel is back in the saddle today after being carted off to TeeVee Land to fill in for Keith Olbermann yesterday. So thank you to David Bender for filling in and thank you to all of our callers. If you want to hear more of David you can catch his show Politically Direct every Sunday on Air America Radio.
On today's show Rachel will be talking to sports writer Dave Zirin about how he became a target of state police surveillance and the unceremonious way in which he found out about it. And then Paul Rieckhoff will be here discussing his latest story up on Huffington Post right now: the ongoing saga of the Pat Tillman cover-up.
>> There is a HUGE school
>> There is a HUGE school of thought that believes that Jesus was a black man. This is no PC talk >> or empowerment anything. Scholars have been arguing about this since the 19th Century!
I grew up programmed to see Jesus as white; with Charlton heston (or some other white actor) playing Jesus in the movies (and seeing the white Jesus pictures all over the place).. But when you think about it, its kind of silly to believe that from the indigenous people that lived in that part of the world, that the immaculate god child would be born white, LOL. As a freethinker, I cant say one way or the other if Jesus ever existed.. Much less if anyone can say his/her color.. If one goes by the Christian bible, I believe it says he had the hair of the ram.. I went back to my home town (Chicago) after 10 years, and noticed the sign at father and son pizza was obviously changed so the father and son were both spanish looking.. I believe 2000 years of people making things up about the Jesus figure shapes peoples perceptions (not fact)..
