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 Kellys 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?

Santa is from Myra in Lycia, a Greek-speaking province of the Roman Empire, which makes him Greek. As I mentioned in another thread, he made the list of notable Greeks posted at the Mad Greek restaurant in Baker, Calif. The list ranges from Homer and Socrates to Elia Kazan.
>> “So Jews arent White, eh?” <<
.
Amazing!
Saint Nicholas (15 March 270 6 December 343), also called Nikolaos of Myra, was a historic 4th-century Christian saint and Greek Bishop of Myra (Demre, part of modern-day Turkey) in Lycia.
Last I looked, Greeks were considered white.
Well, there used to be. He is believed to have died on December 6, 343. And, he WAS white.
Are Gypsies Egyptians? According to Sir Walter Scot they originated in Egypt then made it to India, then Romania and the Balkan countries then spread into Western Europe.
Jesus was white, a Jew, suddenly white is supposed to mean blond, or Nordic.
Moses definitely had a dark skinned wife, as did Solomon so there is some possibility of dark skinned Israelites, but these days there is much more intermarriage.
"The Jeffersons was right!"
And he lived at the north pole?
But the blood line of the Mesisah did not come from Moses.
True.
Not only was Santa white, he was a Catholic. And a bishop no less. And a saint. But the revisonists want to deny reality.
You are funny!
I don’t think the Bible, at least the King James version actually says that King David had red hair. It does say he had a ruddy complexion which would go with red hair.
I have asked several Jewish friends if David had red hair and they all said yes or that was the traditional view.
Coptic Christians are the original Pharaonic Egyptians.
Well God is White, and since Jesus is the Son of God, as Archie used to say “ipso fatso”.
That is so interesting. Being a redhead, myself, I find it interesting to see redheadded Jews (especially boys). Mine is derived from Scotch/Irish blood. I have often wondered about the twelve tribes and the different facial differences there may have been (including hair texture, color, eye color, etc) and the traits handed down from generations. Guess I find it fascinating because I come from a family of artists.
I think redheads are something like 2% of the world’s population.
