Relax Kiddies, Santa Is White. And, So Was Jesus

[Cain]

"I was only joking u guise srsly" is getting a bit old by this point too.

How many times has Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter etc used that to try and explain something they said seriously and then got widely panned for?  WORST COMEDIANS EVER.  Oh, and hey, isn't your job actually political commentary, not half-assed jokes.  Do half-assed jokes on your own time, slacker.

That's the thing, too; if it WAS a joke (and it clearly wasn't) it was a racist joke. And since when is it cool for a national reporter to tell racist jokes on the air? The joke defense is the worst defense ever.

Well, what's she gonna say?  "My producer made me say it?"  or "Sean Hannity and I got really drunk and it seemed funny at the time?"

There's about a half dozen versions of this making the rounds.

"In kicking off the lighthearted segment, I offered a tongue-in-cheek message for any kids watching, saying that Santa, who I joked is a real person... is identifiable as white," she said Friday.

Did she just follow up with those same kids and tell them Santa isn't real? Christ, what an asshole.

My Heathen friend says that the Odin connection is legit, not in the sense that Santa Claus "is" Odin as you would see in a syncretic religion, but in that as the Santa Claus/St. Nicholas folklore has evolved it has absorbed a number of characteristics from Odin folklore.

Yeah, that was my understanding too.  Odin led the Wild Hunt in the sky at Yuletime...elements of which influenced the idea of Santa flying through the sky at Christmas, and may have influenced his appearance too (one of Odin's names being "longbeard", for example).  These elements were incorporated into the Sinterklass tradition, which is probably the main precursor to Santa Claus.

However, Santa Claus is not Odin.  He is clearly Turkish.

To be honest I'm slow to disbelieve the odin part since the whole santa claus myth has picked up more influences in its day than a ideological katamari. A little Sinterklaas, some Saint Nick, a dash of Kris Kringle, ah what the hell throw some Odin on top, who gives a shit."

Catholics will say any damn thing to convert us filthy heathens.

Dude, patchouli stink validates the whole idea of the Dominicans/the inquisition.
