| BRIEF AND TO THE POINT User ID: 579297 12/25/2008 11:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Black Santas typically have an image problem. Quoting: Ghetto Guy 106069They don't give ----- they take. . Slide down the chimney take your dvd player and disappear. Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 516120 12/25/2008 03:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think that seeing a black Santa would be too traumatizing for all these nice, upper-class white kids who have a laundry-list of very expensive shit that they MUST HAVE! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 579237They would probably start crying and screaming, and generally making a scene. I guess you never watch Cribs, or rap videos. If there's anyone group completely obsessed with materialism, it's blacks. |

Most scholars believe Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) to have been a Moor. Early iconography depicts him as being very dark skinned. He lived in Asia Minor, present day Turkey, in the 4th century AD where he was most likely a bishop. Saint Nicholas was celebrated for his generosity. One of the most popular stories of Saint Nicholas is his paying the dowries of three young sisters who would have otherwise been sold into prostitution. Early Christians celebrated his birthday on Dec. 6 by giving presents. This tradition spread throughout Europe and eventually became interlaced with pagan midwinter Yule festivals and the combination of these two traditions was co-opted by the Church and rebranded as Christmas to celebrate the birth of Christ.

Also ringing the bell for Salvation Army and so forth. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

Simply take your kid to see Santa when he is the same ethnic group as you are. No problem and everybody is happy. If you arrive and Santa is not a match, just come back another day or shift. Tell the kids the line is too long or some such should you arrive at the wrong time. Of course many just don't really care in the first place.
