"White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish, German, Scottish, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.
Calling someone a "race baiter" basically means you can get away with whatever you want, short of calling someone a nigger. And I'm not the one who brought up Jesus' ethnicity this week. That was Fox news and Megyn Kelly so that's on your side so does that maker her a race baiter?

And why did she do that?
Oh yeah, because Aisha Harris was engaging in some racial obsession. Megyn was responding to that and used another oft attempted example of racial obsession to further her rebuttal.
No one is absolutely certain, but researchers are apparently fairly confident that he actually looked like this. The picture Mark posted is an extrapolation of what the "average" Jewish person looked like at the time.
In Aisha’s world, everyone has to be part of one big whole without excluding anyone in any way. There is nothing diverse about a diversity that collectivizes the experience of every individual to ensure mass conformity even in the industrialization of celebration.
It’s not diversity. It’s conformity.
That’s the trouble with endless inclusiveness. To include everyone in a holiday, you have to erode its meaning so thoroughly that it no longer means anything. The only way to achieve total inclusiveness is to eliminate as much specificity as possible until the very existence of a specific identity becomes a crime.
This isn’t really about Santa. It’s about the criminalization of whiteness under the label of White Privilege. It’s about making race into an implicit offense by arguing that any norm that reflects whiteness in a country with a white majority is racist.
…
In this warped world, the only way to save black self-esteem is by attacking any area where “white” is normative. Even if it’s a white Santa Claus. If black people feel self-conscious of their differences, then white people must be constantly made to feel self-conscious of the guilt they ought to feel in making everyone else feel self-conscious with their normative supremacism.
Whiteness isn’t the problem. The obsession with race is. The left has turned a social construct into the definitive lens for viewing all human relationships. And it’s that lens that causes the misery. The more you look through it, the more bitter and insecure you become.
Santa isn’t guilty of white privilege. The racialists are guilty of an obsessive resentment that expresses itself in the need to contest everything on racial grounds. Changing Santa’s race or species won’t fix anything because that isn’t the source of the problem. Any number of white characters, from Spider-Man to Kojak, Ironside and even Murder She Wrote’s Jessica Fletcher, have been turned black without making a dent.
Insecurity isn’t external. It’s internal. And it can’t be fixed externally. The insecure can’t be reassured into being comfortable with the world around them. Every well-meaning act of reassurance is met with a defensive reaction that is meant to reassert their neurotic status quo because that unpleasant state is the one that they know and are familiar with. It may not be a pleasant way to live, but it’s their identity and it’s all that they know how to do.
Racial insecurity is an internal problem. It isn’t caused by Santa. It’s caused by a racialized identity which thrives on paranoia and insecurity while lashing out at black figures who aren’t insecure, like Robert Griffin III or Don Lemon, for the crime of being comfortable.

So, yup - Jesus was white.
Why are you the one sooooo obsessed with race?
Well, you really don't think much. Nobody really cares what he looks like except you and other race baiters. Why are you so superficial?

You are the only one bringing it up here. You think that anyone else gives a shit about Ms. Kelly's opinion?

Yep, it started with a leftist obsessing over race.

Here's a great response to the insanity:

Is anyone else "shocked" that Mark has not condemned this "racist tea-bagger" for supporting voter suppression?
Wait, here is a look at Jesus envisioned by Syrian Christians. Looks a lot like pic #1. EGAD!
