Fox News host Megyn Kelly has made herself the center of a racial controversy by declaring that Jesus Christ and Santa Claus are white.
On Wednesday night, Kelly was responding to an article by Slate writer Aisha Harris, who wrote an article entitled “ Santa Claus Should Not Be a White Man Anymore .”
The popular news host told viewers of “The Kelly File,” her hit FNC program, “When I saw this headline, I kinda laughed and I said, ‘Oh, this is ridiculous. Yet another person claiming it's racist to have a white Santa.’ And by the way, for all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white. But this person is maybe just arguing that we should also have a black Santa. But, you know, Santa is what he is, and just so you know, we're just debating this because someone wrote about it, kids.”
Of course, a number of critics were quick to point out that Santa Claus is a fictional character. And while he was based on St. Nicholas, a white man, his exact description is largely left up to individual interpretation.
However, after a guest on Kelly’s show defended the Slate article, Kelly extended her argument to further claim that the historical figure Jesus Christ was in fact Caucasian:
“Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change. You know, I mean, Jesus was a white man, too,” Kelly said. “He was a historical figure; that's a verifiable fact — as is Santa, I want you kids watching to know that — but my point is: How do you revise it, in the middle of the legacy of the story, and change Santa from white to black?”

All I know is that she has some very nice legs.
Megyn, Megyn, Megyn. I’m sorry sweety, there is no Santa Claus
“All I know is that she has some very nice legs.”
Perhaps two nice parts of the anatomy. And perhaps as many as two brain cells.
This was a thread this morning as well.
I’d hit it like laz.
Blacks are bent out of shape about Santa being white because the dirty little secret is that most blacks absolutely hate whites.
If Santa wuz black, he’d come in a window with an empty sack.
Jesus wasn’t black, but I doubt he was lily white, either.
I don’t think it’s much of a secret any more. Homobama made it OK for the hatred to come out....
Jesus was probably olive skinned....I think of Klinger from MASH except shorter...just my guess.
Makes no difference anyway. Jesus is still King of kings.
She said something?
King David who was one of Christ’s ancestors had a ruddy complexion and red hair.
Uhh Meagan, Santa is a cruel fib, not a historic figure.
David was a redhead.
One thing we know is Jesus did not stand out in a crowd as they had to pay Judas to identify him. So I guess he looked like everyone else around Jerusalem.
Obviously a fake. Where’s his pointy hat?
So Jews aren’t White, eh?
Since Jacob was a fair skinned pussy, it seems likely that his offspring were all similar, especially since his wives were also northerners like Abraham.
