He has to be foul mouthed, ghetto, and all of the above. I know this is a comedy, but I don't find it the least bit funny. My husband watches it and says I'm thinking too much of it. There's never been anything to depict Jesus as being black and now that there is, he has to act like this? I don't agree.
shareSometimes, to get through to the people, you have to speak their language.
If you watch the show, you would see that Jesus tries to teach his homies, forgiveness, love for their fellow man, responsibilty, consideration of others than themselves and non-violence among other things.
Oh yeah! I also highly suggest that you chek out a film that came out around 2006 called "Color Of The Cross".

Well he is apparently a Compton native. It's not crazy to assume he'd have that accent and speak that way. It's true What above comment said
shareIts a show on adultswim.... why would you take it so seriously? Its comedy. Laugh
shareI don't have a problem with the way Jesus acts, but I was hoping for a whoooooooole heck of a lot more pointed satire. With McGruder at the helm this could have been a vehicle for a million and one brilliant critiques on religion and racism, more like Boondocks. But instead it's mostly comedy with more vague, less direct satire.
It's still a very good and unique show but not what I was hoping for.

it's pretty cheap laughs from what I saw of the show. Take any thing, the KKK for example. Make the KKK talk like rappers and you got the same thing. Maybe they still hate blacks/jews/whatever else they hate but their just saying it like a thug would. add a big gold chain around their hooded neck or a KKK clock and you got the reverse side for the Black Jesus coin.
Uh....oh,oh, it's the pancakes! You don't like pancakes, I will get you somethin else!
