Neal Boortz Backs 'White Santa': 'Martin Luther King Is Always Portrayed as Black!'A self-described libertarian radio host on Monday defended Fox News host Megyn Kelly's assertion that Santa Claus was white, saying he was going to "scream and complain because Martin Luther King is always portrayed as black."
In a clip obtained by BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski, Herman Cain radio show guest host Neal Boortz speaks to a caller who called to complain that Kelly had been criticized after she recently said that both Santa and Jesus Christ were white men.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, Santa Claus is white!" Boortz exclaims. "Okay? Deal with it!"
"Everything has got to be black now, it doesn't matter what it is," the caller laments.
"You know, I'm going to scream and complain because Martin Luther King is always portrayed as black," Boortz quips. "It just ain't right."
Boortz goes on to predict that he was going to "chase away" about 100,000 of Herman Cain's listeners before the show was over.

I think it time to call the men in white coats and tell them to bring a net and straight jacket, Neal needs a long rest.

St Nicholas pre-dates the Turks arrival in Asia Minor. Biggest odds favor him as being Greek.

Are Turks honorary Whites now like Jewish people and Italians? I have a hard time keeping up with the list of approved ethnicities.

Though that is far from certain. The Byzantine Empire was quite diverse. And while his name is derived from the Greek "Nikolaos", he could well have adopted a Greek name when joining the Church.
