Most whites consider themselves to have a higher intelligence ........... and also consider the son of GOD/GOD to be in the image of a white man.
Is this why Christianity has failed to overcome the race problem ?

We know that Jesus was Jewish, and Jews are white. Therefore, we can conclude that Jesus was white.

Jesus was first portrayed as a white man primarily because that's who the Renaissance painters had for models. Which led to many of us of all races to think of Him as white, when clearly He was not. But it isn't the fault of Christianity, but the fault of people that race hasn't been entirely overcome. People are always the problem regardless of the question.

Jesus isn't necessarily white. In fact, living in the region He did at the time He did, He probably wasn't white. Christians didn't originally depict Him that way, artists did; that, in turn, molded the perceptions of many people. I don't visualize Jesus according to race.

No it did not. For most of Jesus' life, he had no skin much less color. He was the first-born of all creation. (Col. 1:15; John 8:58) After 33 and 1/2 years of life as a Jew, he died and was resurrected to former spiritual life. The color of his skin is not relevant to anything. All people get the same chance.

I'm white and I don't consider Jesus to be white. I know he wasn't. He was a Jew, which means he had dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin. I do consider myself to be smarter than most, but not because I'm white--but because my IQ is 140.
Your question is ignorant.

Art is art. That's all art is.
Artists portray things the way they see them.
Michealangelo portrayed Jesus as white.
I have seen black Jesus' in African churches
I have seen Chinese Jesus' in Chinese churches
I have seen Indian Jesus' in Indian churches
And they are alll Catholic churches

It was an argument the Nazis used in Germany, and one Ann Coulter uses today.

Jesus was Middle Eastern and I don't know what color God is. Maybe purple.
