Megyn Kelly on Fox News: Santa and Jesus are White

QuoteOn Wednesday, Fox News host Megyn Kelly led a brief discussion about this Slate piece in which Aisha Harris, a black woman, explains how cruddy the omnipresent white Santa Claus made her feel as a kid. Kelly had two points she wanted to introduce as fact, to clear up any confusion for all the kids who may be watching her 9 p.m. news analysis show.
No. 1: Santa is white. "By the way, for you kids watching at home, Santa just is white. But this person is arguing that maybe 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." Actually, Harris was arguing Santa should be a penguin, since he's already an amalgam of characters.
No. 2: Jesus is also white: "Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change. You know, I mean, Jesus was a white man too. But you know it's like we have — He was a historical figure, I mean that's a verifiable fact — as is Santa, I just want the kids watching to know that." Hoo boy, the things these hosts bring up in a three-minute segment about an imaginary toy-deliverer. Anyway, meet your Fox News rising star.

OK, Santa is totally a white dude. Yawn. But Jesus? JESUS? Not Semitic? Not brown skinned? OMFG, there goes the rest of Fox's non white viewership. Oh wait, they probably don't have one. Never mind.
And of course, Jesus was a historical figure....
Megan Kelly. Fox's rising star. The stupid, it burns.......

Then she goes and doesn't mention the tooth fairy's racial characteristics AS IF the tooth fairy is merely imaginary. :roll:
Of course the tooth fairy can't be white.. She/he/it actually pays out CASH money instead of some silly tooth debit card He/she/it could attach fees to...obviously a socialist too.

Come to think of it there's a marketing ploy to get parents to buy tooth fairy 'gift cards' they can give kids when they lose teeth.. Hot Damned! I'm a marketing genius! :-P

As a fictional character jesus can look like whatever the mind of the imagining person wants him to look like.

The current FOX vision is something like....

Jesus was in the Airforce? Well imagine that. :-k
Looks like an airforce uniform on my phone, but the colors are a bit faded.

Didn't you know? Jesus was secretly born in the USA, then transported by a bald eagle to Mary's womb. The first thing he did outside the womb was sing the national anthem and stop a gay couple from getting married. This of course confused the hell out of the sheep herders around him.

Santa Claus, the historical character!

As for Fox news now considering the semites white, could we count that as progress? :-k

I looked her up on Google to make sure I knew who we are talking about. Found some nice provocative pics. Reminds me I've noticed how Faux News seems to hire a certain type of female cast.

Santa Claus, legendary figure who is the traditional patron of Christmas in the United States and other countries, bringing gifts to children. His popular image is based on traditions associated with Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century Christian saint. Father Christmas fills the role in many European countries.

The Dutch are credited with transporting the legend of Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) to New Amsterdam (now New York City), along with the custom of giving gifts and sweets to children on his feast day, December 6. The current depiction of Santa Claus is based on images drawn by cartoonist Thomas Nast for Harper's Weekly beginning in 1863. Nast's Santa owed much to the description given in Clement Clarke Moore's 1822 poem "A Visit from Saint Nicholas."

The image was further defined by the popular Santa Claus advertisements created for the Coca-Cola Company from 1931 by illustrator Haddon Sundblum. Sundblum's Santa was a portly white-bearded gentlemen dressed in a red suit with a black belt and white-fur trim, black boots, and a soft red cap.

Santa Claus is said to live at the North Pole with his wife, where he spends the year making toys with the help of his elves. There he receives letters from children asking for Christmas gifts. On Christmas Eve he loads his sleigh with toys and flies around the world, drawn by eight reindeer, stopping at each child's house; he slides down the chimney and leaves the gifts, refreshing himself with the milk and cookies left for him by the household's children.

Judging by his fruit salad, he's a Pararescue veteran of Vietnam.
