YouTube Description: December 12, 2013 - Jon Stewart is really getting tired of Fox News still flogging this War on Christmas nonsense, and Thursday night, he said that "shit's getting real." He took on both Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly Thursday night for freaking out about a Festivus pole and black Santa. Stewart mocked Fox's "manger danger warnings" before getting to the "crazy" stuff Kelly said about why Santa is white, period. Stewart explained the historical person Santa is based on actually had a darker skin pigmentation. And on the follow-up point that Jesus was white, Stewart said, "You do know Jesus wasn't born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, right?"Jessica Williams then joined Stewart to explain that black people feeling uncomfortable about a white Santa need to get over it, while anything at all that makes white people feel uncomfortable has to be fixed immediately.

kymbosMan, that was funny.
LawdeedawSkin color > than ethnic/religious/sexual orientation. Jews are treated white over black people. If we cannot understand this we don't understand true racism. (Yes, millions of Jews were killed in the Holocaust and in many other atrocities, but if there had been blacks in their place, blacks would have taken priority.)
So yeah, I would say Jesus was white. A white Jew, like John Stewart perhaps. Now he wasn't Anglo American, that's for sure.

SveNitoRsays...True about skin color > religious orientation. However, being Jewish has nothing to do with skin color today. 2000 years ago, however, (most?) Jews lived in the middle-east and being born in Bethlehem, meant the person did not in any way have the same skin color as what we depict in our churches. Of course the skin color would likely be brighter than in Africa, but still not north european "white". To be honest both white and black is a pretty poor description of skin color in general.

shatterdrosesays...In case you're wondering what Megyn Kelly thought of people lambasting her idiocy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyyAHfV6S_4#t=49

VoodooVI can't find it anymore, but there was this video that showed Megyn Kelly before she was hired by Fox and after. Almost complete 180 in her apparent intelligence level and maturity.
StormsingerProstituting yourself can do that. Some folks will do just about anything for money.

LawdeedawAn articulate argument (Pointing out of fact?) I like it.
