I guess Stelter doesn’t know about St. Nicholas.

Well, they can have a black Santa if they want....

...but that would be stupid.

“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.””

No, the mythical Santa is white also. Only the minorities and the politically correct want it to be otherwise. Anything other than a white Santa, both real and the myth based on the real, is a lie and a farce.

the new Reliable Sources host wondered if Megyn Kelly wouldn't have been so adamant about Santa being white if Fox News had more black viewers (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Yep, that's gotta be it! /sarc

Stelter might not have insisted Santa Claus be black if CNN had a viewer...

Our current version of Santa is an invention of the Coca Cola company. His suit matches the colors of Coca Cola red and white. If you go back pre Coca Cola his suit tended to be multicolored from what I have read.

24%? Where is Fox supposed to find that many black tv viewers?

1.4% sounds about right. That’s how many didn’t vote for obama.

I see liberals on Facebook having a cow over this. Somehow it’s horrible and racist for a white person to dare say Santa is white. But objecting to Santa being white sounds pretty darned racist to me!

Increasingly, whites are not allowed to have anything of their own...no heroes, no characters, no legends, no nothing. We must hand over everything, big or small, to any nonwhite who demands it.

Do we really expect CNN hosts to be smart? Not in this lifetime, my friend.

CNN’s CNN’s Brian Stelter should be made to view all of the Sanford and Sons reruns to see how the original Fox handled those issues.

It’s about destroying the culture.
It’s the leftist cultural revolution being perpetrated on the West.

How is that offensive to any one without an ax to grind?

It's not offensive, just dumb. The article should have been mocked completely, instead of insisting that "Santa Claus was white."

Santa isn't real, regardless of whether his image is based off of someone from the 3rd century.

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

It was a dumb way to respond because the article was so silly, they should have just laughed at it, instead of trying to argue over the race of friggin' Santa Claus, who is not real by the way.

Maybe the next Shaft film could star a Chinaman.

There would be nothing wrong with making Shaft Asian, and it wouldn't be racist to do so.

You don't seem to understand what racism is. It has nothing to do with changing the race of fictional characters for whatever reason.

"He was also Greek, so it was an olvie-skinned white.

Not true, the ancient Greeks were blue eye blond hair white, well a lot of them anyway. Dido the Romans of the Roman Republic era.

I know he’s not real, but like the fictional characters of Tom Thumb or Snow White, he’s white in virtually every depiction of him.
