    Fewer then half of the world’s population believe there was a Jesus Christ, and only young children in the Western countries believe in Santa Clause.

    Leave it to FOX News to make the idiotic statement that both of these fairy tale characters must be viewed as white. But, these are the issues that appeal to the right wing racists, the devoted audience of FOX News.

    Who on earth is 'Megyn Kelly', and should I care?

    Edit: Ah, a blonde talking head idiot on Fox TV. No, I don't care-unless she manages to say something sensible which isn't the product of Fox Bizarro World. What a maroon...

    You guys are pushing for racial equality in fiction now too? Get over skin color. You are all obsessed. Santa is based on Saint Nick. A white guy. Go fictionalize someone else that is black. No one will complain. Except leftists who are mad if the character speaks English.

    He was born and died in Turkey, and among other things is the patron saint of thieves and pawnbrokers.

    Why can't you right-wingers leave people alone to celebrate the fairy tales of the holidays as they please. It's not just about the Christians, despite what you righties would have everyone believe.

    Yeah, a greeker though turkey didnt exist, he was a white guy. Probably had black hair before it went white and living in the north pole makes one pale in winter. What is the problem?

    Don't forget prostitutes. He freed them from their pimps. But I don't see why anyone would care if he was portrayed as black. The copyright on this character probably expired a while back and may be due for sequels. I just like to play devils advocate sometimes. OP was taking megyn Kelly"a statements way out of context.

    People can do whatever they want, but insisting St. Nicholas wasn't white is just factually wrong.

    It's so funny! Fox News is still catering to people who are just like another imaginary character, 40 years later... Archie Bunker! Who had those epic battles with George Jefferson about Jesus and Santa's race back in the day!

    All the Jews in America are white, and Jesus was Jewish. Jesus Christ and Santa were based on white men, so it was proper of Megyn to have made that point.

    All of the historical accounts of both Jesus and Santa that date back into history were of white men.

    Well Jesus was a Jew, and by modern definitions they are Caucasian (the closest we have to a description loosely indicates that he had ruddy cheeks - look it up and try telling me that someone with ruddy cheeks is likely to be anything but white). Santa Claus=Christ Kringle, a German, so what do you want us to think of a high medieval German, that he's Asian? :roll:

    Stop and think about the absurdity of what you're suggesting, dude. Should we now have a white MLK for white people on MLK day? Are white people unable to handle celebrating a holiday with someone of another race central to it, like you're suggesting blacks have? Or are you suggesting that it's only blacks who have an issue celebrating a holiday closely related to someone of another skin color?

    Yeah, guess who's f***ing racist here.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I think we need to use portraits of a white man to call Martin Luther on MLK day, because obviously it's not pc to acknowledge reality, according to brtblutwo

    Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed,

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus

    Yawn...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas

    Saint Nicolas (the real life Christian saint) who "Santa" is based off of, was Greek/Turkish - both of which are white/Caucasian ethnicities

    Jesus was a Jew/Semite - Semites are also a white/Caucasian ethnicity

    No they're only issues that appeal to left-wing racists, as proven by yet another thread started on this asinine topic, by someone who doesn't even know what 'race' is.

    /thread

    - - - Updated - - -

    Turks/Greeks are white/Caucasian in ethnicity

    - - - Updated - - -

    The real life characters who both are based on are white/Caucasian - this is a fact, so what's the problem?

    Megyn Kelly has the second highest ratings on FN, the highest rated cable news channel.

    Libs can't stand to see a successful woman.

    Welcome to sour grapes.

    So who cares again? Why does it matter if Santa, who I may remind you does actually exist is white?

    Why does it matter to you if Uncle Ruckus is black?

    No, Saint Nicholas wasn't white, and neither was Jesus Christ.

    We wouldn't be having this conversation if Fox Noise's newest prime time news model hadn't brought it up.

    So, you don't get to complain about anyone else but the right wing bringing up race.

    The Roman Catholic Church still had the skull of their "white" bishop from southern Greece so they got a forensic reconstruction done. Sorry Jack, but Jack is what your opinion's worth. That's more than a tan he's wearing.

    They are continuing the war on women---Conservative women.

    Just like racism is not JUST a White conservative issue but conservative Backs are also racists. EVERYTHING is based on looking thru the lens of ideology.

    And it's not JUST sour grapes, ity's plain out and out bigotry!

    He was either Greek or Turkish, both of whom are white/Caucasian ethnicity

    He's also based partly on "Kris Kringle", who was definitely white.
    Semites are white/caucasian. Saying "Jesus isn't white" would be like saying "Obama isn't black" because he's lighter than a Nigerian
    Sorry that she had to school you on what race actually is, lmao

    It's the left-wing showing their ignorance on what race is, and how they don't understand the difference between 'pigment' or 'ethnicity' and 'race' :lol:

    The wacko birds insist upon substituting "media personalities" for legitimate statesmen and elected officials who wield actual power.

    For such fantasists, this "Megyn Kelly" is likely venerated as a person of substance. If Megyn proclaims that nymphs, fairies, imps, and sprites are all lily Whyte, then they're Whyte, by golly!

    Brownies? Better run that one past Roger Ailes.

    Maybe saint nick is like the US constitution an ever evolving item. Get with the times, the dude represents white middle class spoiled brats who long to become the next great capitalist. Capitalism is the great satan, so why would any liberal care what color they use to spread the holiday of greed and capitalism.

    And the sad thing is that they're using a woman to do it.

    Is there any doubt in anybody's mind that the Meghyn Kelly had little to do with insisting that Jesus and Santa Claus much have been white???

    Seriously?

    This was in the script. Roger Ailes dreamed it up in his "news" bunker under Sixth Ave, and handed it to her to read. And, as a dutiful Fox newsmodel, Kelly knew better than to say no.

    Besides, the quote is a classic non story, designed to gin up the base and incite outrage (and thus publicity), from everyone else.

    This is what tabloid TV looks like.

    Of course, no one outside of wingnut world cares what this might do to the idea that Meghyn Kelly is a serious "journalist". Actually, no one sees her as one anyway. She's blonde, and has great legs, and that's all that you need to be a woman "journalist" on Fox News, where journalism is a slogan, not a practice.

    She's being used as a prop for ratings.

    Journalism????? What a joke!

    This is priceless. Megan Kelly makes a funny and the humorless left not only doesn't get it but goes positively apoplectic.

    The truly funny thing in all of this is that n there attempts to paint conservatives as racists they have tarred themsleves with their own brush.

    Hahaha! And McDonald's sells the most cheeseburgers, so TV ratings are no more than evidence of how many people watch disposable rubbish. If your measure of 'success' is the ability to read a teleprompter on a second-rate tabloid 'news' channel, then I'd suggest seriously reconsidering your perception of standards of quality, frankly.
