‘Burn White Jesus’ challenge

There’s a new social media challenge sweeping the Internet, one most people might not be too quick to jump on board.
Known as #BurnWhiteJesus, or the White Jesus Picture challenge, the movement calls on people to post videos of themselves online burning pictures of Jesus, according to Inquistr.
The reason behind the challenge is racism, according to the religious education website Patheos.com, who says the common portrayal of Jesus as a white man “is used to advance white supremacy around the world.”
“Mr. Savannah Black” posted his video which shows him explaining the challenge and then burning two pictures of Jesus.
