Am I White enough?

The Game of Throne is very evident that there are racial issues that are very evident within the book and movie. The most obvious one is seeing how Daenerys, the princess, is extremly white in every facit you can possibly think of. The white could symbolize a lot of things from being pure, virgin, or "chosen one" to just being white in who a white person is thought of as being superior to any other race. In both the book and movie it is very apparent that Daenerys is extremely white not including her white horse, go figure. With all this white focus you almost think that she is the next coming of Jesus or some Christ figure. To me it almost seemed like she was the next coming of Jesus due to her being so white and the Dothraki king being dark skinned. This is relatable in how Jesus come and washed everyones sin away and made them "white as snow". Not saying that Daenerys is Jesus or anything but just pointing out that the commonality between the two. Also when the Dothraki king, he rides a dark colored horse that is suppose to be superior and top stuff but ends up dying to save his owners life, wonder why they just did not use the white horse if being white is a superior thing?? Guess this time is was meant to just be shown that the horse is Daenerys’ and that the white is being just from a different tribe rather then being a “superior” thing.

The Rise of Christianity evolving into Roman Catholic in the Middle Ages

      During the middle ages, Christianity was one of the many religions but was one of the most recognized religions. It was not just any form of the Christian religion but of the Catholic religion form. When Christianity started to emerge it was seen as a threat to the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire wanted everyone to bow down and praise their Gods or the Emperor. When Christians refused to do this they were to be persecuted. When Constantine I became emperor the persecutions of Christians came to a stop because he was a part of the Christian religion. Christianity then became the official religion of the Roman Empire.

Catholic Church

    When the Roman Empire started falling. Christianity became known as the Catholic religion. The Catholic Church became extremely powerful. The church collected taxes and gifts of all kinds from people who either wanted a favor or wanted a special place in heaven. The church became even more powerful and was able to influence the king and other rulers of Europe. Anyone who opposed the Catholic Church was not able to attend church services and that person was going to go straight to hell once they died. Later there was an argument between the Eastern and Western churches over the Crusades. This argument led to a split which is known as the Great Schism. After this, the Catholic religion was referred to as the Roman Catholic religion.
