Megan Kelly: Jesus was a white man

[bigdarryl]

Kelly your an idiot no fucking proof he or it was a white man. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/12/12/1262106/-Megyn-Kelly-Jesus-was-a-white-man

1. If he existed, he was pretty freaking dark, and it wasn't from a tan...nt

[DinahMoeHum]

6. He didn't speak English either. . .

Most likely it was Aramaic, later translated into Hebrew, Greek, etc.

[joeybee12]

8. And five times removed, into English, and of course all those series

of translations didn't lose anything along the way!

[DinahMoeHum]

10. Heh heh, like a gigantic game of Telephone, right??

[joeybee12]

11. Yup!

[jberryhill]

2. Did she say that, or was it her interpreter?

[Blue_Tires]

3. Someone e-mail this to Kelly:

[el_bryanto]

4. Yes - people are kind of latching onto Santa is White - but this really is the bigger story

And it's just nuts.

I do believe in Christ, but to say that he was what we would recognize as White is silly.

7. that would've been the real christmas miracle then. nt

9. Well, we all know the people that work at Foxnews are GOP scum.

And I hope some of them see this very reply! Okay, idiot noobies to history...we here on DU want you to see what Jesus more than likely looked like! Sorry if it does not...nah, fuck being sorry...learn something you fucking idiots.





Now get the fuck over it already!

[HappyMe]

12. Eesh! The stupid burns again!

I don't think he was anywhere close to white.

[packman]

13. Jesus as he probably was

This reconstruction is based on the area, ethnicity, and genetics at work at the time. Picture is from a Time Mag issue about what Jesus was really like as opposed to the white blue-eyed European versions, you know - that hangs in 9 out of 10 homes above grammy's bed.





What strikes me is that this guy probably would be denied country club admittance today.

17. Heads exploding.

[LittleBlue]

14. Nothing gets past her, does it?

[Mike Daniels]

15. Two possibilities here

1. Being a former corporate lawyer and likely having no shred of ethics Kelly probably is just saying whatever it takes to get paid even if she has to check her brain at the door every morning.

2. Kelly actually believes what she's saying thereby making her about as low-wattage as the average FOX viewer's IQ.


The holiday spirit wants to allow me to believe it's number 1 because nobody who is as sharp as Kelly supposedly is can really be that dumb. Outside of Hannity and the FOX and Friends bozos I have a hard time believing most of the people on FOX actually subscribe to the clap-trap they peddle.

16. Who cares what the color is of a sky-spook?

18. "Whites" aren't always white

Even the palest Nordic Caucasians are really pinkish-beige.

In defining race, the 2010 US Census included all people:

"having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicated their race(s) as “White” or reported entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian."

http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-02.pdf (page 3)

Was Jesus form Norway? Nah, I don't think so. If he existed, he looked less like Thor and more like Alladin. There are a wide range of skin tones for "White" people. Perhaps we would be better off defining people by their favorite color, or maybe by the color of the upholstery in the family car? Either choice has as much value (if not more) than the roughly mixed genetics that determines the color of only the outermost 1 mm (give or take 1/2 of a mm) of the human body.

And if you counter, "Well...Jesus was really God, and heaven is white, so Jesus must be white." Then please tell me why Angels are yellow

Uhm hummm. That's what I thought....

[cthulu2016]

19. If he existed, Jesus was surely Caucasian

There is no *proof* that he existed, but if he did he was a Jew typical of his region.

Is that a "white man"? It's not like "white man" is a well defined category. On the US census he would be listed as white/caucasian,

He was certainly not nordic, but just as certainly not what we today would call African or Asian.

Jesus would have had trouble getting on an airplane. He would have looked very middle-eastern.

As for what Megan Kelly thinks about anything... she's an idiot.

[Proles]

29. It's actually pretty much a fact that he *did* exist.

Most historians accept this as there are extra-biblical sources pointing to this. Plus, it would be pretty far fetched if such an influential religion could pop out of literally nowhere.

So there was a man named Yeshua who was born, preached and was crucified. Whether or not he performed miracles and raised from the dead is another thing altogether.

But what strikes me is that if he were as white as many people think he was, wouldn't he stick out as a sore thumb? It's really quite laughable.

[cthulu2016]

31. The OP used the word "proof," hence the

qualifier, since I didn't want to start anything.

There is a lot of reason to think that he did exist as an historical figure. I think he existed.

21. I say he was green. nt

[napkinz]

22. oh Dana ... I mean Megan

[ck4829]

23. He also owned his own 'small business' too, right Megyn?

[Enrique]

24. then why does he have a Latino name?

[Tom Ripley]

25. Jeffrey Hunter...Max von Sydow...Willem Dafoe...Jim Caviezel...she's right!!!

I'm series!11!

26. Megyn Kelly: I Am an Abject Moron,

but I have blond hair, so it's OK? I'm an important news talker, too, and say lots of important stuff, OK? You like me, right? And please spell my name right, OK? It makes me sad when you spell it like Megan? My name is Megyn? It's, like, different from Megan, OK?

[edhopper]

27. And if he existed

his name wasn't Jesus.
