First Megyn Kelly insists Santa Claus and Jesus are white, now a high school teacher in New Mexico scolds a black student for coming to school dressed as Santa, since "everyone knows Santa Claus is white."

Good going, Megyn. See what you started?

I'm usually on your side Tim, but there is a huge thread about her already with at least a page of white Santa discussion. Were I still a mod, I would merge this thread with that one.

OK, wasn't aware of that. I searched for Megyn but I didn't think the other thread was connected. If the mods want to merge or end this thread, fine by me,

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

I think the other thread is about how hot she is

which is not all that hot, really

 

[McGarnicle]

Apparently some black lady wants Santa to be a penguin.

Love this time of year.

Instead of a lump of coal bad kids get a rotting fish head.

I disagree here. One of the problems on this board is that people are afraid to make new topics, and instead threads with pages and pages of old discussion frequently get bumped. It makes it hard to know if the thread you're making is a "Honda". Much easier to follow and discuss current events if they have their own threads.

If Santa Claus is indeed Saint Nicholas then his ethnicity becomes a matter of historical fact

By most accounts, Jesus was Jewish with a Jewish mother .

MODS> Please move to the Megyn Kelly subforum.

Nothing gets by Tim, even stuff that happened like six days ago.

However Tim didn't start it thus the other thread is a fail.

In 2nd grade I played Santa Claus in our school play. The significance of it was completely lost on me until I was a lot older. I don't think anyone complained about it.

Still not as impressive as what he did with Tequella. And it was the good stuff too.

Ooh! I may pick up from La Parilla myself. Quality flautas de brisket, and best salsa anywhere.

He's trying to say that Jesus's father wasn't Jewish.

I guess this would explain Touchdown Jesus.

Correct, the worst thing that could happen here is a guy like Tim being hesitant to start a new thread since he so rarely starts them.

Well, seeing as he's based on Jólnir, (the Yule Figure) and that there weren't too many non-white scandinavians...

It gets complicated when Christianity started incorporating other religions and their celebrations.

Just put Santa and Jesus on Google images..looks like Kelly was correct according to the pictures.

is that white santa, black santa or penguin santa?

 

[pollardsvision]

This thread's in the clear. The original Kelly thread's about to return to it's roots of figuring out just how hot Kelly is.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Wait, wait, wait...

A half black, half white Santa you say?

THIS IS JUST A PLOY TO GET PEOPLE TO ACCEPT OBAMA AS SANTA, ISN'T IT?

 

[Jewell]

All this talk of doing away with human Santa has caused dissension in the Santa ranks. Just this weekend some Santas brawled over who's the true Santa....

[Kool-Aid Larry]

there are tons of letters mailed to santa every year and every one of these letters is addressed to Santa Claus. The Post Office has delivered them. Therefore the Post Office Department, a branch of the Federal Government, recognizes this man Kris Kringle to be the one and only Santa Claus.

I always wondered if the Easter bunny wasn't really a badger with over grown ears

I just saw Santa at the mall. He was white...

Looks more like a Kangaroo.

Does the spiral on a unicorn's horn go clockwise or counterclockwise?

The Easter Bunny is based on St. Peter, the first pope, who was in fact a rabbit. Proof is everywhere. Look at the Pope's hat. It makes no sense, except that it was originally designed for a rabbit.

Before or after you put it in the toilet? North or south of the equator?

And the Santa at a mall in LA with a predominantly black clientele is black...

The Crenshaw mall now has both a black Santa and a Spanish-speaking Latino Santa, a nod to the demographic shift. (LA TIMES)

And Nordtsrom has Santas of various races so that, should parents choose, they can have a picture of their child taken with a Santa of their race.

The above has been going on for decades and absolutely nobody cares -- including Megyn Kelly. If she did care she could have raised the issue years ago. Instead, Kelly isn't saying that you can't have a black Santa or Asian Santa at your event, she's saying that Harris' proposal that we should completely eradicate white Santa is ridiculous because, well, Santa is a historically white folklore figure. Harris' position is far more extreme and fringe than Kelly's.

By the way, the only Santa event I went to this holiday season had a majority black attendance and was run by black people. They hired a white Santa. I didn't notice any of the kids or parents being visibly upset because, once again, Harris' position does not have wide support.

And what's with the belly full of jelly and eating cookies all the time? What we need is a slimmer, paleo Santa as well.

This would be a great topic for Tim to start on the origin of the Easter bunny

Just rename the thread Lies About Santa
