I believe in the seperation of church and state (one of the ideals that this country was founded on) and that ALL people should be allowed to celebrate and practice thier religion as they see fit (as long as it physically harms no one). If white churches want a white Jesus then go for it. If black churches want a black Jesus then go for it. I mean...both depictions are equally incorrect but if it helps them connect with God then go for it. The government and/or courts have absolutely no business manadating anything about how a religion is practiced.

Though I don't agree with everything the modern church does but I will defend that right with my dying breath like my forefathers before me.
