10 Thoughts to “It’s official–Santa IS black”

    Just as the old white bearded guy Uncle Sam represents our government I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using Santa to represent the nation’s tax payers. After all the paying citizens work hard all year long to provide free stuff to others just like Santa, and who better to typify the majority of those tax payers than another bearded white guy even if the suit is a tad gay!

    Do Fox News viewers know that Santa is just make-believe?

    Of course we do. Sometimes it’s fun to believe fairy tales, just like you people believe Barack Obama is a real president.

    I call BS. No stache and no red nose.

    Lump of coal for Starryflights this year. Then he gets ratted out to the EPA.

    I’d go further than that. We must presume that Starry flights is engaged in the war on Christmas. We must all pick a side; this is a defining battle of our age.

    Luckily Stephen Colbert has launched a counter-offensive, “The Blitzkreig on Grinchitude”.

    Fox News viewers believe in many fantasies like trickle-down and the GOP jobs plan, so let them believe in Santa. They’re pretty child-like anyway…

    What surprises me is how many normal people are buying into this Christmas paranoia–people I believe are normal smart people.

    Seasonal greetings, etc, that are not Christmas specific are just good manners when you don’t know if a person celebrates Christmas.

    Merchants can do whatever they want to make everyone feel welcome. Let’s face it, gone are the days when our shopkeepers knew us by name, for the most part.

    And then there were those cited recently by Barbara Walters as believing that President Obama was the second coming of the “Messiah.” Talk about fantasies!! (However, Barbara did apologize for using the term “Messiah” like that in the Christmas season.)

      Actually Barbara Walters said it, as one of her own thoughts. Barbara Walters has never been known for saying real in-depth smart things. What she said was just plain stupid.

      And while we are on the subject, in 2008. the night after Obama was elected, did you happen to catch a glimpse of the people in the park? Many of the were African American. Some were famous. Some were just average Joes. Many, like Oprah Winfrey and Jessie Jackson had tears streaming down their faces. At that moment I realized that they were feeling something that I could only guess at–I knew I would never totally understand what they were feeling. I accept that.

      My hair stylist’s uncle was very old, had cancer, had only a short time to live. He had never voted. Yet he got dressed and went and registered to vote. He said he had never had a reason before to cast a ballot. He never thought in his lifetime he would have the opportunity to vote for a black man. He died within w3eeks of casting that ballot.

      I just have to accept, as part of the majority race in this country, that some people had a moment there with President Obama that they never thought they would see–a fulfillment of hope or something. Like I said, it isn’t mine to feel. I respect it. I respect that I cannot feel it also.
