Megyn Kelly Bashes Detractors Who Called Her Racist Over White Santa Claus Controversy

Sometimes humor is wasted on the racist...

“The fact that an off-hand jest I made during a segment about whether Santa should be replaced by a penguin has now become a national firestorm says two things,” Kelly said. “Race is still an incredibly volatile issue in this country, and Fox News, and yours truly, are big targets for many people.”

Bravo to Fox News for bringing this to our attention.

So from this statement I am to extrapolate that Fox News said so many racist shit since the channel started.

“I offered a tongue-in-cheek message for any kids watching,” Kelly said Friday. “Humor is part of what we try to bring to this show, but sometimes that is lost on the humorless.”

conservatives are never funny tho. your jokes fall in line with an oppressive society that we all live in. what's funny about being racist?

“This would be funny,” Kelly said of the controversy on Friday, “if it were not so telling about our society, in particular the knee-jerk instinct by so many to race-bait and to assume the worst in people – especially people employed by the very powerful Fox News Channel.”

take you, your entire family, and the all your co-workers and employers and all their families.

and walk straight into the ocean and never turn back around.

"For me, the fact that an offhand jest I made during the segment that has now become a national firestorm says two things: race is still an incredibly volatile issue in this country..."

Spoken like a true sheltered white woman. It took that to make you see that?

White conservatives are so fucking insecure. They're like dogs trying to mark their territory by pissing all over it.

Mm-hmm. It's always the smallest dogs who make the loudest noises.

right holy fuck

sometimes, sense is lost on the senseless

I like how she claims its a joke and she's a victim of race-baiting. Oh god Repulicans/Fox News never change.

i don't know who has the worst smug, smell the fart face megyn or that creep sean hannity

kelly is probably pissed off that the illusion of her being one of the non-biased anchors at fnc has been completely shattered

"Images of Santa Claus were further popularized through Haddon Sundblom’s depiction of him for The Coca-Cola Company’s Christmas advertising in the 1930s.[7][32] The popularity of the image spawned urban legends that Santa Claus was invented by The Coca-Cola Company or that Santa wears red and white because they are the colors used to promote the Coca-Cola brand.[33] Historically, Coca-Cola was not the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising—White Rock Beverages had already used a red and white Santa to sell mineral water in 1915 and then in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923.[34][35][36] Earlier still, Santa Claus had appeared dressed in red and white and essentially in his current form on several covers of Puck magazine in the first few years of the 20th century.[37]

The image of Santa Claus as a benevolent character became reinforced with its association with charity and philanthropy, particularly by organizations such as the Salvation Army. Volunteers dressed as Santa Claus typically became part of fundraising drives to aid needy families at Christmas time."

Christians really like coke.

Popularized, not invented.

Arguments about what Christmas details should "really" be are preposterous anyway, because Christmas is the biggest hodgepodge of Pagan winter festivals messily smushed together with very weak Christian explanations. Like Santa is p. much Odin

I think people were more annoyed she said Jesus was white. But she failed to justify that statement, she completely ignored the fact she said that and went on about santa.

I see no lies in John's segment.

lmao the way she says "melanin deficient". She sounds so offended.

Exactly. She was never joking about this topic, she takes it seriously.

Racists get like that. It's like those people bitching about how "cracker" is a racist term.

I was reading something about how he was turkish but they think he had some african ancestry so he was possibly part black which is fucking awesome screw you megyn kelly

agreed that his skin would be closer to brown than what idiots like Megyn w/e would want but Saint Nicholas was greek, the turks conquered Constantinopole like centuries after he was already dead? his skin was dark bc a lot of greeks are dark skinned? ppl need to read up on Asia Minor before lumping everything as "turkish" it's tiring

note saved!

lol at people in this post trying to argue what the historical St. Nick looked like when Santa Claus is as far away from him as it is possible to be.

santa always has been primarily white.

And this proves what exactly? You are such a dumbass.

Santa is white because Coca Cola made him white when they created him. But if children want to believe in a black Santa then they should do it. It's just a fictional character. Who cares?
