Un-Fucking-Real--- a 100 years from now Faux News will be telling us that MLK, Obama and Mandela were all white guys.

Megyn Kelly: 'Santa Is What He Is,' Which Is White

Megyn Kelly has a message for all the children staying up past bedtime to watch "The Kelly File:" Santa is white.

The Fox News host on Wednesday discussed a Slate piece written by Aisha Harris, in which Harris detailed the effect of seeing the local mall's white Santa in contrast with her family's black Santa.

"By the way, for all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white but this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa," Kelly said. "Santa is what he is and just so you know, we are debating this because someone wrote about it, kids."

Kelly said Harris "seems to have real pain" because of growing up around images of a white Santa, but argued the article "goes off the rails" when Harris suggests that a penguin serve as a new, more inclusive symbol of the holiday.

"Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change," Kelly said. "Jesus was a white man, too. He was a historical figure. That's a verifiable fact -- as is Santa. I just want the kids watching to know that. My point is, how do you just revise it in the middle of the legacy of the story and change Santa from white to black?"

1. Did she actually say Santa was a real, historical person?

Seriously? Oy vey.

[derby378]

2. She could have meant Saint Nicholas...

...but yeah, it's a fail. Didn't the Coca-Cola Company wind up designing Santa's modern red suit?

[Xyzse]

3. Jesus would be Middle Eastern... Not White

Santa if you are going by Saint Nicholas is Turkish.

Dumb.

[malaise]

7. That's why they need creationism

You create the myth that suits the moment - these people disgust me

[Xyzse]

8. Agreed.

[Dash87]

9. They pretty much go by 'Jesus is what we want him to be!' these days.

Which means he was a white European man with long blond hair, blue eyes, and a baby face who loves Ayn Rand, football, and blowing shite up for freedom.

[malaise]

10. You nailed it

[theHandpuppet]

12. I found his portrait

[TBF]

26. You're gonna need to change those blue shorts

to camo. Then you'll have a winner!

19. Actually, Santa was Greek.

Nikolaos of Myra, aka Nikolaos the Wonderworker, aka "Saint Nicholas" (the real person who sparked the Santa Claus story) was born in the Greek city of Patara, in Lycia. Patara was founded and primarily inhabited by settlers (and their descendants) from the island of Crete, and it self-identified as a "Greek" city until it fell to the Turkish invasion in the 11th century.

The real Santa Claus would have hated the North Pole

And he probably would have looked something like this old Greek dude:

[Xyzse]

22. I see.

I tend to think Turk, but Greek sounds good.

[Xithras]

25. There were no Turk's in Turkey in the 4th century.

In spite of its name, the Turks are not native to Turkey, and the Turkish people and culture weren't introduced to the Anatolian peninsula until the great Turkic migrations began after the 6th century, and didn't really become dominant until the Seljuks in the 11th century.

The original St. Nick lived in the 4th century, over two centuries before the first Turk set foot in Turkey.

He was Greek.

[Shrike47]

4. Santa is whatever you want him to be and Jesus, if he existed, was brown.

[Coyotl]

5. Since God is white, Santa has to be white too because God made Santa. Simple logic, right?

Santa is a very important tool of the white overlords.

Seriously, it is time to kill Santa, literally. Santa reinforces the importance of rich children who get lots of really special, expensive toys while their poor age peers get almost nothing except the love of their parents. Make sure your children know Santa is just a story and a game to play. You don't want them growing up believing Santa thinks rich kids are better than they are!

[TBF]

28. My six year old came home from church camp

and told me Santa was non-fiction ... the irony!

Anyway, we still enjoy gifts, family and lots of eating

[Dash87]

6. Every time Jesus is drawn with European features, I cry a little inside.

[dballance]

29. +1,000 /nt

[Feral Child]

11. Amy would say,

"What kind of fuckery is this?"

[SidDithers]

13. Note to Megyn Kelly: Santa and Jesus aren't real...nt

Sid

[Mr Dixon]

33. AGREED

[Vashta Nerada]

14. Jesus was born in the Middle East.

I'm pretty sure people who are born there aren't white.



Hell, neither are real.

[yellowcanine]

15. I was certain this was the Onion or Borowitz. Wow.

Just wow. You really can't make up this shit.

[struggle4progress]

16. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear

?w=415

[yellowcanine]

17. What? Everyone knows Santa is Black!

[yellowcanine]

18. Does anybody on Fox ever take her aside and tell her how stupid she sounds?

[edbermac]

20. Reminds me of an episode of All In The Family

When Archie meets Henry Jefferson for the first time and they discuss religion and whether God is white or black. It went like this:

Archie: Take that dago artist who painted Him on that ceiling in Rome?
Henry: You mean that 'white' dago artist who painted him?
Archie: But every picture I've ever seen He was white.
Henry: Well maybe you were looking at the negative.

[Ganja Ninja]

21. That's right Megyn, Santa is white, trash that is.

And every year he slides down the chimney bringing gifts and toys for all the good little boys and girls. The rest of the time he watches your show on FOX News and drinks heavily.

[CJCRANE]

23. Megyn Kelly is an Elf.

She's one of Santa's little helpers, that's how she knows him.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. Two things, Megan:

1. Santa's not real, so you can make him whatever the hell you want him to be.

and

2. The historical Jesus I'm sure was quite brown in the skin department.

[Initech]

27. They're not even trying to hide their racism anymore are they?

[Iggo]

30. And each just as real as the other.

[Mr Dixon]

31. LOL

That's a verifiable fact.........Really? GTFO

[dballance]

32. "Verifiable fact?" Ummm, no!

Other than the Bible there is no historical record of the alleged Jesus. Also, if he existed, he was a brownish, middle-eastern, Jewish Rabbi.

Not at all the European-looking depiction painted on most churches.

[Rex]

34. Like the vapid brain trust at Foxnews has a clue!

Fucking noobies! Probably have no idea where Bethlehem is on a map and probably still believe Jesus was born in Nazareth!

Oh and I hope some of them are reading this thread;

Even though you are all racist buttwipes...Jesus still loves you.

[FarCenter]

35. Of course they are white. They were invented by white people.

The indigenous population on the eastern shore of the Med was maybe a little paler than it is today, but the gene pool hasn't changed a lot from then to the current Palestinians. It was darkened a little by the Arabs and lightened a little by the Crusaders.

Besides, Christ and the Christian religion is mainly a Greco-Roman invention in the 4th Century after it became the state religion of the Roman Empire. The first council of Nicea in 325 CE is a good starting point. The Roman Empire's capital was Constantinople, now Istanbul, and Nicea is just a little southeast of there.

Saint Nick, as noted above, was a Greek living 270 to 343 CE.
