Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

Children’s Letters to Megyn Kelly
Posted by Andy Borowitz
Dear Megyn Kelly,
For Christmas, could I please have a black Power Ranger? Thank you.
Sincerely,
Bobby, age six
***
Dear Bobby,
Unfortunately, we do not have any Power Rangers in stock in the color you requested. Colors available include: white.
Merry Christmas,
Megyn Kelly
P.S.: Bobby, because you’re only six, you probably don’t know this, but when you use the words “black” and “power” together, they become swear words. Never say that again.

THIS:
Dear Megyn Kelly,
What color is the President?
Sincerely,
Cody, age five

Dear Cody,
Historians are in agreement that a real President is always white. He just is. Now, some people like to make believe that President Obama is a real President, and they get really upset when they learn the truth. Here’s what Megyn Kelly thinks: if you believe in your heart that President Obama is President, he still isn’t.
Merry Christmas,
Megyn Kelly
Stewart Demolishes Megyn Kelly And Fox For Freaking Out Over Santa’s Race And The War on Christmas™
http://rolandmartinreports.com/blog/2013/12/stewart-megyn-kelly-fox-santarace-war-christmas/
Jon Stewart is really getting tired of Fox News still flogging this War on Christmas™ nonsense, and Thursday night, he said that “shit’s getting real.” He took on both Gretchen Carlson and Megyn KellyThursday night for freaking out about a Festivus poleand black Santa.
Stewart mocked Fox’s “manger danger warnings” before getting to the “crazy” stuff Kelly said about why Santa is white, period. Stewart explained the historical person Santa is based on actually had a darker skin pigmentation. And on the follow-up point that Jesus was white, Stewart said, “You do know Jesus wasn’t born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, right?”
Is that a black Santa Claus?
BWA HA HA HA Love this video and the song!
bwa ha ha ha ha
SNOOP!!!!!!!!!!
Where’s Megyn Kelly? Fox host misses own show after racial comments on Santa and Jesus
http://zite.to/1jXDd1P
After helping websites all over the Internet make money Thursday for reporting her claim that both Santa Claus and Jesus Christ were white, Megyn Kelly’s employers decided to give her the night off.
The Fox News host missed her 9 p.m. “Kelly File” program without explanation and was replaced by guest host Martha MacCallum.
Kelly on Wednesday had discussed a Slate column urging the adoption of a penguin to replace Santa Claus, who’s usually – but not always – depicted as white in an increasingly multicultural society.
That idea didn’t sit well with Kelly, who dropped her pose as a “straight news anchor” – which she’d claimed to be just two nights earlier during an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
“For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white,” Kelly said. “But this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa. But Santa is what he is.”
The fictional character is usually — but not always — depicted as a hefty white man, although he’s likely based on the 3rd Century monk St. Nicholas, who lived in present-day Turkey.
“Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn’t mean it has to change, you know?” she added. “I mean, Jesus was a white man too. He was a historical figure, that’s a verifiable fact, as is Santa — I just want the kids watching to know that.”
Hat tip DU
Why Santa Claus is White..
From a tweet:
Breaks into millions of homes, eats people’s cookies, never gets shot.
LOL
BWA HA HA HA
Oh, yeah!
LOL!
Rikyrah’s right. These white folks have lost their damn minds.
No kidding!
Hypocrisy!
The two commentators on the left of the screen say that you can’t change a White Santa to a Black Santa.
Yet, these two commentators are brunettes who changed themselves to blondies.
Children: Stop watching cable news. Go outside and play in the park. You’ll be happier.
Megyn Kelly: Jesus was not white. Santa is not real.

I had to turn it off. Daughter giving me 3rd Degree lol. She knows Jesus was Black. Santa? I had to dance for that story, but she’ll be alright tonight.
I’m laughing as well.
these 2520’s have lost their damn minds!!!
ROFL!
Unbelievable! Start behaving like adults.
My daughters always knew who provided them with gifts and love at Christmas. Me, their father, grandparents, uncles and aunties. THE END.
Mine too, Ametia.
vitaminlover, the sheer IGNORANCE is emblazed in these folks.
Beautiful Ametia and vitaminlover!
I like that.
Tyren, I was born and raised in rural segregated southern MD. No way were my parents and other relatives were ever going to have us growing up to believe that a white man rolled down our chimney and dropped off goodies. NO effing way!
