Kelly, Fox News host and physical guardian of the Eyes of Satan, was doing a segment concerning a recent Slate article that bemoaned the traditional white Santa in favor of a universally loved penguin. Kelly and her three smiling, lobotomized guests "debated" the implication that Santa, a (spoiler alert) fictional character, is white and came to the very quick conclusion that he is indeed. Cool, well that just about wraps this u-....
"Jesus was a white man too!"
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I caught that...
You heard it here first, ladies and gentleman. Fox News has just stated that Jesus was white and that there is historical proof of this fact. What's truly sad about the whole thing is that when she makes that bold, moronic claim, not one guest had the decency or intelligence to cringe. Not one guest had the necessary amount of brain cells to speak up and say "Well that's clearly not true."

I am not sure what fallout will result from Megyn Kelly's idiotic statements on her show last night, but I am sure nothing will come of it. Fox News seems to be a haven for saying anything you damn well please and getting away with it because your entire network is about as reliable as The Onion. But, unfortunately, much of America watches with bated breath every night as Fox's parade of mental patients are dragged out in front of the camera and given an hour to screech about the liberal media and the War on Christmas. I can only hope that the revolution comes swiftly so that I may be one of the first to be beheaded for my "liberal ideas." At least then I will lack the senses necessary to be exposed to the utter stupidity that is Fox News.
The historic proof comes from the writings of Josephus, who wrote of the visage of Jesus of Nazareth from the recollection of the locals in Roman occupied Palestine. There is also Biblical citations from Kings and Chronicles, the historical narratives of the Hebraic sacred writings, which state that Jesus' ancestor, King David, had a "ruddy" complexion. As you may know, a ruddy complexion is a physical attribute of historically white ethnicities of Europe, North Africa, western Asia, and the Levant regions, and it connotes a lack of pigmentation in the skin by which a flow of blood in the capillaries transmits a reddish hue to the skin, especially in the face during winter. So King David, Jesus' great grandfather several generations back, is described in terms only associated with white people on this planet, and the one ancient writer who pens a physical description of Jesus also states that he was white and had other features characteristic of white populations. No sir, you are quite wrong. You may take Mrs. Kelly to task on other moronic sayings and I'll have your back, but not on this. The historical record is clear, modern fantasies of those striving for a politically correct revision notwithstanding.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughts! Unfortunately, I am not a Biblical scholar and can't say that I've read enough scripture to either refute or confirm your side. Would you mind linking me to some citations? (i.e. precise passages from the Bible, scholarly articles on the subject)
DeleteAfter a few minutes of cursory research, all I can really find is that there is much debate on what the word "ruddy" actually means in this case.
Again, thank you for contributing!
