>>>Flamebait removed<<< Megan Kelly sez: "Just because its makes you uncomfortable, you can't just change it..."??? If that is true, how did Santa and Jesus EVER become WHITE? Why are some whites so upset because both Santa AND Jesus were NOT white? (even the Bible describes Jesus with "skin of bronze and hair of wool"). Anyway, watch these upset whites demand the "facts" THEY like to be untouched by reality!!! Saint Nicholas' facial reconstruction (he was from Turkey), hardly a white neighborhood.

Traditionally Santa has always been white, however I have no problem with different racial representations of him. Jesus was most certainly not white, and DEFINITELY not the flawless aryan god man the racists of the 1800's forced so far down everyones cultural throat that its become the norm. He would have looked Palestinian, and in the bible he is even described as having skin the color of bronze.
St. Nick was white but Jesus was brown or black.as everyone was living in that area of the world. AboveAlpha
Not seeing anything calling him "whiteskinned" on that page. There is a fairly contemporary picture on that site from the 1400s or early 1500s. I am not seeing the "white": Also, your link references the church-commissioned a 2008 laboratory facial reconstruction from the Saint's actual bones - that is where this picture comes from. Once again, I am not seeing the "white". Perhaps you could elaborate on the source of your conclusion:
Greeks do tend to be darker skinned but St. Nick was more to the white end than the black. I really have no agenda as far as this other than the facts so if you can provide more evidence to the contrary do so by all means. AboveAlpha
Yeah it pretty funny to pull that out on some of the crazy racists using the bible to justify their beliefs. Didn't you know Jesus was an Arab?
Santa Claus not White.......now that's really funny....:.we have become an absurd society at this point
How do you know he's heterosexual....Mrs. Claus was invented AFTER the elves were already in the story? Guy...living all alone, cut off from the world....surrounded by a bunch of hyperactive dwarves? Hmmmm? BTW, Santa WORKS on Christmas Day....so are you really sure he's a Christian either?
If you are white then Santa Claus was white, if you are black Santa Claus was black and so on and so forth.
Santa is also a diabetic who occasional suffers from hypoglycemia during the long hour on Christmas night not allowing him to eat. This is why we leave cookies for him.
That makes no sense at all. Megan's the one taking attention away from the other nutty things Fox talks about by making Santa into a race-issue, so what are you saying... that Megan has turned liberal? In any case, my head swims every time I hear that people actually make stuff like this an issue, and that others actually get twisted up about it. Megan could have just said, "Saint Nick was a caucasian". Did she think her audience wouldn't understand a three-sylable word, such that she had to say "white"? Or was it because she knows that Saint Nick was closer to latino, who are also caucasian.
Gods, santas, CEOs, and presidents are all white males, of course. ... although Jesus would have made the white guys who believe that jittery, and he would have been detained if he were to try boarding an airliner - which is why his being able to fly would come in very handy. Gods think of everything.
Who gives a (*)(*)(*)(*)? All the serious issues in this world and you're on here barking about something so stupid? Well I guess at least it keeps you busy while others actually take care of things that matter. "hey everyone , big shocker here. The guy who was born in the Middle East , he looks like a guy who was born in the ME" LOL
Well, thats correct to a certain extent... Santa cant be jewish, nor a muslim. Santa is definitely a heterosexual, too.
Well said, that's exactly what an imaginary character is. Anything "you" want it to be. So is your Easter Bunny pink?
What is funny is the image we all see every Christmas presented as the old saint is a vision of marketing soda pop. Ya gotta love the ignorance of this society, and the (*)(*)(*)(*) they find important to argue about.
