I can’t believe this is happening in 2016 - or maybe I should. :smack:
To me, Santa is Santa, whether he’s white, black, green, purple, young, old, or even possibly female.
Someone on another board copied-and-pasted some comments. They were sickening. :mad:
“Basket of deplorables”, indeed.
One of the comments posted there complained that it was racist to have Santa be Black. That was the racist part. :smack:
I guess it is historically accurate that all of the people native to the North Pole have been White. Good gravy.
ETA: Yes, most deplorable.
Other places have had black Santas for years before this. When I was in Rochester, N.Y. in the 1980s they called them “Soul Santas”. Other places certainly have them:

Well, Morgan Freeman played a better God than God. So black is cool for Santa IMHO.
Yeah? Some people are asshats as we all know… Stop letting trolls offend you. Tell them to fuck off & go on with your life.
Who gives 2 shits about black Santas except the culture of permanent offense. Grow a pair (ovaries, testicles, who cares?)
Well, he’s sufficiently jovial; he makes for a better saint nick than i ever could.
These people can eat a humbug
Brains? Nah, now that I think about it, even a pair of brains wouldn’t help some racist fucknob bothered by a Black Santa.
Why would you be surprised?
Hell, people were angered (triggered, if you will) that a Cheerios commercial showed an interracial couple. Or when they showed a black stormtrooper. Or a black Hermione. Or a black Rue. Or a black Spiderman. Or a black…
But what color is snow? What color are polar bears? QED. Case closed.
Not to worry, though, now that Trump’s been elected, all this black-Santa and Hispanic-Santa type nonsense will cease, by Executive Order. The Bible, the sacred Word of God, specifically describes Santa as a jolly old fat white guy. I think it’s in Two Corinthians.
Black Santas have existed for a long-ass time. This is crazy.
Yellow?
Or a black Hiemdal, or a black Jimmy Olsen. Or a white, female “Ancient One”.
Anyways the real santa is a robot anways. Dunno where y’all getting your facts fro
Or Blacula. Or Dorothy in The Wiz. Or C. Thomas Howell in Soul Man.
I legit saw someone complain about that, saying something like, “how would you like it if they did the Wizard of Oz but had everyone white?!!”
The real question, of course, is: does he say “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays”?
Damn, I am getting hungry for some reindeer BBQ with a side helpin’ of North Pole Blues right about now.
It’s Minnesota. They say god Jul.
Polar bears are black.
(if this was your point all along, sorry, I was confused by the ‘snow’ thing…)
