Black Santa

There’s a black Santa Claus at the Mall of America in Minnesota, giving children of color a Kringle that looks like them at the nation’s biggest shopping destination.

Naturally, some people just can’t handle this, and racists are taking to social media to denounce Larry Jefferson-Gamble, a retired U.S. Army veteran who has been playing Santa since he was 12 years old.

Trolls invaded the comments section of articles such as a CBS Minnesota report, where they posted insulting and racist remarks. The comments function was ultimately turned off ― although many of the posts are still visible in the article.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune turned off the comments function of its article on the mall’s first black Santa before it was published based on past experience with trolls.

Can't believe people are getting offended by black Santa.

Can't believe people are getting offended by black Santa.

Really? In a nation of hundreds of millions of people, you can't believe that a handful are offended by what they perceive to be cultural appropriation?

Technically...Santa and Jesus would have been brown.

Anyone want to link that fox news segment from a year or two ago where they were saying that "Santa is white, he just is, okay?"


Hey look, I found it:

People complain about minorities "playing the victim card" but then complain about the race of Santa Claus.
