Anonymous Coward User ID: 44054275 Canada 12/04/2013 11:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have just about pissed myself from laughing so hard at this article. It is race baiting at it's finest. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21277120 Why is Santa always white? But then it hit me. Santa was white. Wait, what? Why is Santa white? Santa is always white? Why is Santa always white? My brain went into a frenzy, desperately searching my memory for any instance in which I had seen a black Santa Claus in a shopping center. But I kept coming up short. I wondered, in a country where we have an African-American president in Barack Obama and where the largest city just elected Bill de Blasio mayor with an African-American wife and racially mixed children, why have we yet to integrate our holidays or their characters? As I sat there contemplating, I wondered if Santa was African-American, would white families wait for hours to get a picture with him? Would they want their children sitting on the lap of a black Santa? And would that be a picture to add to the family scrapbook or in a frame on the fireplace? I asked myself why, in 2013, does it seem American traditions and customs are only for white Americans? Why are we being left out? [link to www.jsonline.com] The stupidity. It burns. can this world just hurry up and end already |

The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections. ~ Narrator (Idiocracy) |

Lucky Charms User ID: 51075865 Ireland 12/04/2013 11:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What the seriously fuck? So if a traditional narrative doesn't feature people who are not white, those missing skin colors must be shoehorned into said narratives? So fuck it, lets make Zeus black and let's make Hercules a fucking Asian. The virgin Mary shall henceforth be a mexican because we have to "intergrate our holidays and their characters". But if we're doing that then I want Shaft to be white from now on. Last Edited by Lucky Charms on 12/04/2013 11:59 PM 'Magically Delicious' |

Seriously, what has the black race actually done to improve humanity? Honestly... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15977349 Geeeeeeze We've actually had quite a few in the US.....but the Democrat (Socialist Party) won't give them any credit in history (because they're re-writing it) because free thinking should be discredited and is 'off the plantation'. They've convinced black people that they should be 'taken care of' and that they are 'victims'.....even in our modern society. |

Santa Claus came from Saint Nicholas, who used to give a lot of things to the poor and the less fortunate. Santa is another word for saint in German I believe. Claus is short for nichlaus which is Germans pronunciation of Nicholas Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49844927 We're all idiots? I bet most people know about everything you wrote in that post.
