My Black Jesus: When Jesus Came Black to America

The war for America's soul is over; America has succumbed. The right-wing has triumphed, probably irrevocably, and in the process of consolidating its victory, has become a suffocating, worldwide monolith, its corporate and militaristic tentacles strangling the globe. Domestically, America is a nation of sheep and for any who resist ─ atheists, Muslims, occupiers, libertarians, and the rest, the final solution, the solution urged by patriotic Americans, is extermination. But twenty-first century corporate America, feigning adherence to its original constitution of 1787, and dedicated to capitalist profit above all else, has instead instituted a network of lucrative penal camps. The recalcitrant will spend the rest of their lives in the camps, work camps for those who can afford the corporate-imposed stipend, less-comfortable accommodations for the indigent. The system is challenged by a chubby black man claiming to be Jesus Christ. Repudiated by right-wing America, is this Jesus who he says he is or is he nothing more than a false messiah whack-job? And how will America respond to his assertions of divinity and his promise of redemption? Welcome to the Joseph R. McCarthy Memorial Prison Camp.
