Featured Megyn Kelly: Santa Claus and Jesus are White

I watched it a few days ago, I recall she did say Jesus was white. Maybe I need to go back and watch again.

But you are wrong about it offending people because they can't accept it.

I grew up in N. Carolina, I remember seeing restrooms and restaurants that said things like "White Only".

My great-great Grandfather owned a plantation, he had slaves. When I was a boy, I knew the families that were descended from those slaves. Wonderful people, and God-fearing, much more so than most white folks if you must know.

I don't think the average white person knows what it is like to grow up and see everything good presented as "white" and everything evil presented as "black", but that is what black folks had to endure. They were told they were stupid, criminal, animals, the most horrible things you can call another human being.

And then to be told that God himself is white. What greater insult could there be? Why, if God is white, then surely the Devil is black.

How does the song go? Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world, Be they yellow, black, or white, they are precious in his sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world...

It was a very stupid thing to say.

 

That's not the same thing as saying an historical figure -- which is just one of the many realities of Christ -- was a certain color. "Whites only" in 1950s North Carolina -- or 2013 north Missouri, where I could show you a sign still in place -- doesn't equate to "Jesus is white" when the reality is, regardless of what people want to try to foist off on us as politically correct, is very likely true.

I don't mean to insult you, or call into question your sincerity here. I just want to point out to you this comes perilously close to the "some of my best friends are black" argument.

I know this full well. I was on the football and basketball teams in high school with the first pair of black young men -- twins, in fact -- who ever attended our high school, much more who had ever played for our school's athletic teams. It took a few weeks for our own people to accept them. Imagine what it was like for them when visiting like-minded small towns in the Missouri 1960s. Think "Remember the Titans" in a smaller, more backward setting. I remember the night we won a conference game from a school right on the outskirts of St. Joseph when one of the twins caught a pass at the goal line with :04 left. We literally had to form a gauntlet to get them (of course, those yahoos couldn't tell which brother was which) out of the locker room and onto the bus afterwards.

Sorry, Win, but that's just silly. If He was white in His earthly form, and as I've shown, it is quite likely He was, what right have they to be insulted? What right have you to be insulted for them? Facts are facts. Jesus was most likely white. There isn't any getting around that, and arguments that He was black or brown are just ignorant. Saying He is what He is isn't insulting or prejudice, and His skin color didn't have anything to do with His saving grace. It isn't like Megyn called them the "N" word. She stated a simple fact, and didn't even state it as a fact as strongly as I have, but rather that the culture has portrayed Him as white. The super-sensitive need to get over it.

 

Well, truth is, Jesus probably wasn't white. It is far more likely that he had dark skin and eyes.

It's the truth, here is a family photo from 1891;



The fellow in the front holding a cane is my great-great Grandfather who was born in 1828. The fellow to the upper right with a little bowtie is my great grandfather, he was born in 1866, so he would be around 25 in this photo. My brother and I own a home directly across the street from where this photo was taken. At one time my mother's family was very prominent there.

Well, I seriously doubt Jesus was white. He was probably somewhere in-between as most people in the Middle East are.

The fact is we don't know what color Jesus was, and nobody should be claiming they do.

 

One of your problems, Zaac, is that you do not know how to quote. You never indicate when you have left out part of your opponent's statement. That is not correct and it shows that you might not be educated in the rules of documentation. Either that or you are trying to establish a pretense.

As for trying to say that white is somehow different from Caucasian, you are shading off into Arayanism as far as I know. White is shorthand for Caucasian. You presented no evidence about the Greeks and your statement about Cleopatra is absurd.

Jesus is the most hated man in the world. He was a Jew. Jews are Semitics and Semitics are Caucasian. Greeks are also Caucasian. Kelly is correct.

 

have you ever seen that Equal Opportunity questionnaire (is that what they called it ?).
You know, the one where you're not really obliged to give an answer (but you better do, or....well, at least that's how it looks to me, a job seeker), and asks you what race you were ?

The last time I filled out one, and that was some time ago, I seemed to recall that if you were middle eastern you were considered a member of the white race.
now, Jesus is middle eastern, so, if I recalled what I thought I read correctly, Megyn was technically correct.

 

A Badge for You!

I am so glad to finally discover what you do for a living, and wondered if this is the badge the company pins to your lapel when you visit and consult for them?

​

And for my two cents, I tend to think Jesus was closer to white than any other shade of mankind on earth during that time! The good thing is, in heaven, there will be NO COLOR CODE! So this debate is a waste of time, and more a bait-and-switch type of topic! It was designed to put people at each other's throats over the pallet of racial colors! No one wins, because in Jesus, there is no color, IMHO! Just as there are no other barriers, other than those we continue to hold on to and make an issue over!

I highly doubt that our new bodies will be separated by color differences, and even if they were; I seriously doubt if anyone would notice or care! It's the same argument on denominational preferences. All that should matter is: Have you been born-again?

 

Neither Jesus nor Santa were black.

 

I see Zaac that you still don't understand how the game is played here. There are a view basic principles that you must understand.

First and foremost - the president is the spawn of satan. The Democratic Party and every media source but one are his minions. Therefore he must never be commended for anything and he must be attacked even if it requires lies, fabrications, and silliness. It is acceptable to call him any name you want.

Secondly, the letters GOP stand for 'God's Own Party' and therefore they can do no wrong and must always be praised.

Third, and most applicable to the thread, Fox News is God's mouthpiece in main stream media and therefore must never be questioned.

Once you get this you will do fine here.

 

Tooo Funny!

I loved that response Zaac. I didn't mean to offend you, just thought you'd like the badge. BTW - I am far from K-I-A [know-it-all] status. And I'm not ashamed to admit it! So, I can't imagine who in Cali would have CR it! But, I have a poll in mind to see if anyone else on the board know it all! :smilewinkgrin:

 

Maybe, and then again!

<Megyn made an issue of it.>

Maybe she only made an issue of it to those who don't like her! You say "potato," I say, "potatoe!" You say, "tomato" I say, "tomatoe!" It is all in the eye of the beholder, Zaac, so let it go, what will your views do to change the direction, this nation and the world are headed in?

I think too many of us are way off base on what is important. You say Jesus may not be white, Megyn says he was. Who cares? What difference will the debates on this make on world hunger; rapes; abortion; home invasion; hit-and-runs; terrorism; wars; drone missile attacks; you get the idea. And before you jump on me, I'm as guilty as the next man, and that inculdes you!

I say Obama is a poor excuse for a president. You say he's a great man, paving the way for blacks all over the world. The truth is, Nelson Mandela was a great man, in comparison with the man who made a mockery of his memorial and funeral by hitting on the white, bimbo of a PM!

Obama has made it bad for any black to become president in the US for another 100 years! He had some great ideas, especially with healthcare; he just didn't follow through with the management of it. If I were POTUS, I'd have been hawking everyone associated in the implementation planning, as I would have realized how important it was to make this plan work from passing it to getting the cyber site running with no problems! He failed to run the complete race when it came to his legacy package.

He had failed to demonstrate leadership by sitting back on his hands, taking vacations, playing golf and going to Hollywood every few months to tap the Bank of the STARS for money to keep the DNC running in the black for the next few election cycles.

He is a great motivator, speaker and fund raiser, BUT that is where the rubber meets the road!!! Any signs of greatness cease to go beyond his ability to sell an idea! He needs to lead, and he has not yet shown the world, let alone Americans, that he can LEAD!

Oh, and one more thing. Like the devil himself, Obama will be remembered for his lies and spinning the truth! And while it is true for all POTUS's lie from time to time, Obama has shown he is the master of deception, and he lacks the integrity to own up to his lie, when caught, and make things right! I say, "Shame on him!" and while I know you will disagree, and take my message apart, line by line [your're as famous for this as I am for my polls], let me say that your ability to dissect paragraphs is only a liberal spinning tool1 [I look forward to what you say in your line-item critique of that statement!

Go at it, Zaac. I hope you leave it all on the line-by-line dissection! Shalom yall!

 

You stand alone in those opinions, especially in the bitter remark about the GOP. You really need to stop watching Fox News so much, also.

 

And this guy presumes to speak for God himself.
