    That woman ain’t human. Listen to the cadence of her voice, observe how she vibrates a peace energy. Feel the truth in her light. …With that timeless face of Nefertiti …she ain’t one of us, she is all of us.

      Your whole premise is flawed as to how abandoned businesses that weren't black owned in the first place got abandoned.
      When did the banks come and give loans to the long time residents of those communities to once again rent the buildings that they went up on the rent?
      I don't think you have adequate knowledge of systemic racism, redlining or gentrification to even speak on it. Yet you want to cast aspersions on Black People for being the objects of their discrimination.

      This is Protestant bullsh*t. Nobody's "worshipping an idol" here. Holy images are a _focus for veneration._ God, along with Mary the Theotokos, is in heaven (and also Everywhere!). Those who use images know that as much as any Bible-pounding Prot (who too often make an idol of their pastor, w/ their Big @ss Pulpit in the middle of the church).

    Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
    7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
    8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
    9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
    10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
    11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
    12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
    13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
    14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
    15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
    16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
    17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
    18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
    19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
    20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

    Traditional varnishes are natural resins which, when applied in a thin coat on a surface, dries to a hard, glossy, and transparent film. Natural resins darken with time and the image on a painting may become darker to see and the tonal balance alters. Hence black faces on old icons.
