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”.
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.
