St. Nicolas was of Greek Decent. Born in Greek Μύρα. Now modern Day Turkey. Greek empire used to extend across the Middle East included Anatolia and western Armenia. The original home of Turks is in the steppes of eastern Siberia, somewhere near Lake Baikal. Turks are invaders/ settlers in Turkey. Turks are NOT the original inhabitants of Turkey. In the 11th century during the Muslim Conquest Seljuk Turks invaded the Byzantium Empire in Anatolia (what is now Turkey). In the great Battle of Manzikert in 1071, the Muslim Seljuks defeated the Christian Byzantine armies and captured Emperor Romanos IV. In 270 AD when St. Nicolas was born it was full of Greeks.
Greek. Turks invaded modern Day Turkey 800 years after St. Nicolas. During the Muslim conquests. Kinda like assuming someone born in America in 270 AD was white or black because US is now predominantly white and Black.
Oh Ludacris on the show again that's what's up but I wish they would bring on people we haven't seen on the show before or in a while. Ludacris was just kn the show last season. It's good to see him again but it's a lot of other people who haven't been on the show before or in a long time that I would love to see on the view.
Well he’s not there for fun, he’s there for work. Did you miss the part where he was promoting his new Christmas movie? Maybe those people that you want to see aren’t putting out projects often like he is 🤷🏽♂️
Ludacris cool but he was on the show last season. I wish they would bring new people who haven't been on the show before on or who haven't been on the show in years.
The american portrayal of Santa Claus is largely a Coca-Cola invention in 1930s. But its based on St.Nicolas who was of Greek decent, and Odin who was was worshipped by early Germanic pagan tribes, traditionally portrayed as an old man with a long, white beard with an 8-legged horse called Sleipnir who he would ride through the skies (just like Santa’s reindeer). During the winter, kids would fill their booties with carrots and straw and leave them by the chimney for Sleipnir to feed on. Odin would fly by and reward the children with little presents in their booties, much like we do with Christmas stockings today. If you look up Christmas card from the early 1900s Germany Der Weihnachtsmann image is essentially Coca-Cola's Santa Clause only they made him fat.
@@HH-gv8mx he was worshipped as a God father of Thor. He was a main deity when the Romans arrived in Germania. But, the real story is Jesus was born in September but in 313 AD Dec 25 was chosen to by the church to celebrate Christ because it fell at the time around pagan winter solstice feasts and celebration. In an effort to convert the pegans to Christianity.
He’s based in large part on the Finnish Father Christmas, and Saint Nicholas, who is celebrated in many European countries and brings gifts on the 6th of December. Saint Nicholas is portrayed as a white man with a long white beard, in red robes, but the guy was born in Turkey, so he likely was brown. 😉
@@naylas3908 nicolas was Greek. A greek orthdox bishop to be precise. Turks invaded during the Muslim invasions 800 years after Nicolas. Turks aren't indigenous they're invaders. Wasn't Turkey in 270AD.
Jesus was black but…. They still paint him like his skin wasn’t bronzed and his hair wasn’t of wool. I wonder how they know the importance of painting an important figure a certain color.😂😂😂
The View hosts continue to show their lack of historical knowledge. Santa is based off of St Nicolas that was a historical figure and brought small gifts to poor children. He was from modern day Turkey.
Good for YOU. I'm glad you don't need a Latino Santa. However, for others, it matters, and that reality doesn't take away from you and your views. Let people have whatever makes THEM happy ... meaning, mind YOUR business. 😊
Exactly. I dont understand why black people throw around words like representation and inclusivity when all they really mean is all black and only black. Unnecessarily
Representation matters yes. Well done, where it matters, Santa doesn’t exist, mermaids don’t exist, you see where is it you’re pushing for representation? fictional characters. Again I don’t have an issue with fictional characters being whatever color you want… the whole thing about children NEED to see that is the ridiculous part. Oh and by the way black isn’t the only other skin color there is, I would love to see you all complaining about representation all across and not just black characters, there’s your “representation matters” bunch of clowns 🤡🤡🤡🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Cause black people literally have nothing pure and family friendly in their own culture so they take characters and stories from white people and slap a tan on it. Call it representation and inclusivity 😂
Because white people created no stories and keep painting everybody white. Just look at Jesus 😂😂😂… hope this allows you to think rather than ask questions that you can answer…
The US is going through a social change, so in an attempt for reconciliation european cultural appropriation is acceptable practice to promote inclusion. Which is both naive and divisive. Would be better served by promoting African culture and mythology. Unfortunately most black Americans had their history stolen from them and don't know the tribes of their ancestors origin. Ironically much of Southern US food and culture in modern Day comes from slaves. American language and food is full of African influences. So we are less likely to see Anansi the trickster God, portrayed before we see a black Loki. Because instead of showcasing African mythology, it's more reconcilitory to protray Germanic folklore as black. Though offensive to those who's culture has been appropriated.
the world, and especially here in the U.S., needs more people like Ludacris...period.
I loved him growing up but now he looks like a biggot

Love it! But Santa Clause is a mythical person based upon a real person who was of Turkish origins 😅 I'm definitely going to have to watch this.
What??. so Santa Claus is really Turkish? I’ve never seen a black Santa and I’ve never heard that Santa clause was originally Turkish.

Why didn’t Whoopi ask a question? He also didn’t hug my fave Whoopi:/
That's what I was thinking 🤔
Waddup Ludacris 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏾💪🏾
Wait, wasn't Luda on earlier this season??
So
@@onlyest3921 What
Luda must keep the right people by his side
Saint Nicholas was Turkish.
Greek.

Also, the actors strike just ended so it’s hard to get people on right now and this was probably already lined up
I love the Whoopi Goldberg shirt. It looks like it’s from ghost.
What the heck is wrong with Whoopi? Hand over her mouth silence!!! What's really going on?
Finally He is not in fast and furious
Haven’t watched one of those in years
“When did we decide Santa was white” umm last time I checked Greeks are pretty white
Been white for decades!!! If bLK people want to make him bLK to feel better that’s okay with me. I like the traditional Santa
@@javiruiz8365 agree
Oh Sunny.. 😂 Even Santa's race is an issue. I can't.
Maybe not to you but for people of color we love seeing characters that are portrayed as people of color.
It's actually an issue for white people, race isn't an issue for Sunny unless white society tries to undermine black people's beliefs and wants
@@vanessajade7481🙄🙄🙄
🤔 I notice whoopi 🤐
Look at the panel... let's drop the inclusivity and representation bull.
Grow up people.
Right!!! They are obsessed specifically Sunny!! Her mother is white Latina, but her Santa Gaga’s to be bLK to feel special
Ludacris cool but he was on the show last season. I wish they would bring new people who haven't been on the show before on or who haven't been on the show in years.

Santa is white.

Do you go around telling white Jesus that Jesus was black and the Bible said he was bronzed and had hair of wool?😂😂😂😢
Both made up characters.. who cares
@@JoseHernandez-yj7zmI don’t believe in Jesus so… my point is that it’s def Christmas and the purpose is Christ but thanks😂
@@numerologicatarot3333 ah yes, Jews are predominantly black. Don't know how I missed that.
Shouldn’t Sunny have white or brown Santa since she is brown!!!
It’s Santa…. Who cares rudolf is Asian lol

I’m Latino, I don’t have to see la Latino Santa. Nothing against black Santa but come on… kids NEED to see this? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

I know… like, why do they keep painting Jesus as white skin and blue eyes when in the same Bible it said he had skin of bronze and hair of wool? 😂😂😂
