If you think Santa is a fictional character, then he can be any color you want him to be.

So it would make sense that the Greek gods could be black or Asian or Polynesian.

Dear CNN,

Saint Nicholas was a real person, not a cartoon.

He was provably caucasian, so why do you protest?

Next you’ll be offended to learn Christ was Jewish.....

Oh, that’s right.....He’s a bit too real for you to acknowledge.

Yes, there was a real St. Nicholas. But I do not believe he is still alive, lives at the North Pole, or flies around on a sled pulled by Reindeer.

The mythical Santa can be anything you want him to be. In New York, Macy’s had, at least 20 years ago, two lines for the kids waiting to see Santa— one was marked “Traditional Santa” and the other said “Urban Santa.”

Black people have been saying that Jesus is Black for some time now.

If skin color “doesn’t matter” then why ignore the MESSAGE that Jesus delivered and focus on skin color saying “this is key”?

Why can't black people sit on Pancho Claus' lap? Why does it have to be a black man?

"Her comment was dumb. Insisting on the race of a fictional character is needless, and she hurt what was becoming a promising career."

How was it dumb? The traditional Santa has always been white.

Being from West Texas I've seen Black Santa, White Santa, and we even have had Pancho Clause around here since I was a kid and yet, I'm not traumatized or unstable as a result(although that's may be a matter of opinion).

Only Liberals could turn such a simple statement pointing out an obvious fact into a major race controversy.

Kelly's new show is a ratings monster, especially for being so new and I think the Mainstream Media was just looking for something to pound on her for to marginalize what they view as a threat.

It's a shame so many on the right are willing to jump on the Liberal dogpile.

Thomas Nast created the popular imagery of Santa Claus. He also created the Elephant and Donkey representations of the Republican and Democrat Parties.

Maybe now the GOP should be represented by a Donkey and the DNC by an Elephant. Just because it means nothing anyway.

After all, the Republican victories USED to be represented by “true blue” and Democrats by “commie red”. NO one ever used the “red state” “blue state” meme until the colors were swapped.

And the modern DNC party is the 68 revolutionary pinko crowd so they SHOULD be represented by the Marxist “color”.

The Story of Little Black Sambo is a children's book written and illustrated by Helen Bannerman, and first published by Grant Richards in October 1899 as one in a series of small-format books called The Dumpy Books for Children. The story was a children's favorite for half a century until the word sambo was deemed a racial slur in some countries[1] and the illustrations considered reminiscent of “darky iconography”. Both text and illustrations have undergone considerable revision since.

Maybe he should be white??? What fools..how about getting the blacks in this country going in the right direction..Never happen with OBAMA…should have elected Clarence Thomas president

I’ve said for year that for race relations to really take a leap forward, we would need a conservative black Prez….because a liberal black necessarily comes from the “greivance wing” of the Dem party, and the greivance wing cannot possibly heal anything……and the same for the first woman prez….if it’s not a conservative, it will only increase tensions……
