The war on Christmas is over at the moment but the war on Christians is still going on overseas. Many were killed yesterday and more are expected to be killed today on Christmas.

Perhaps the only reason Santa is white is because it snows at the North Pole.

I saw an article about one of the major department stores. They've had an alternate, black Santa for those who would prefer him since the forties. I certainly have no problem with that. Santa has been pictured as white in publications since his inception because the majority of readers are white. I am sure that if Santa had originated in Africa, he would have been black. Santa is a fictional individual, created for the delight of children, why don't we just leave Santa slone?

Next we'll hear that Jesus Christ was an all-white Anglo-Saxon with blonde hair & blue eyes.

Ha, Ha.

Well, his mom was white and if he turned out black, the population of the day wouldn't have accepted him.

Is it really necessary to bring discussion of race about Christ?

Yes, it gets in the news from time to time and many wonder if the MESSIAH is black or white......

What does his mom being Jewish have to do with Jesus being white. There are many black Jews! Just look at the Ethiopian Jews, or the black Jewish congregation in Harlem. Or the Jews of Egypt.

He was probably a rather swarthy looking guy.
