Walking through the mall during the holiday season is one of my favorite pastimes. The vibrant colors, the decorations hanging from the ceiling, the jingles playing on the loudspeaker and the many people moving about talking on their cellphones or weighed down by the growing numbers of shopping bags in their hands. All of these things bring a smile to my face, warming my heart, year in and year out. However, this holiday season doesn't feel quite the same.
By mid-November, the middle of the mall was littered with wooden decorations of Kris Kringle's hideout in the North Pole, parents holding their son's or daughter's hands and many small children waiting anxiously for their chance to sit on Santa's lap to ask him for gifts and gadgets. I watched as child after child jumped on and hopped down from Santa's lap. Some kids talked to Santa as though they were old friends getting reacquainted; some sat emotionless, awkwardly waiting for their mothers to turn on the flash for their camera phone snapshot; and a few cried, out of fear of being left with a stranger in a bright red costume.
The moment seemed magical for kids and parents alike, a scenario that I knew was occurring in malls across the country. However, I soon was thrust back to reality by the next kid to sit on Santa's lap. An African-American boy no older than 7 walked up to Santa and sat down to take his photo. This boy was ecstatic about his opportunity to meet Old St. Nick and gave the biggest ear-to-ear smile I had seen all day.
But then it hit me. Santa was white. Wait, what?(continued)

Why is Al Sharpton always black?
Um Curtis, I hate to break this to you, but...........there is no Santa Claus.
Because the original guy was white. Nicolas was born in Turkey around AD200.
Because Kwanzaa Klaus is brown?

Obama is the ‘Rathcet’s Santa Clause’. He should be happy.

How come basketball players are always tall and skinny?
LOL!
While I'm not saying it isn't Eugene, this is the photo I found under the author's name and some of his tweets lead me to believe it's him. He's a radical black nationalist public school teacher.
For that matter, why is Santa always married to a ...white...woman?
There is very little chance to get a tan up at the north pole. The sun is very low on the horizon, when it can be seen at all.
Also, the Clauses spend much of the time indoors, because of the cold temperatures.
They may have a tanning bed, by now, but electricity is probably in short supply and needed for the workshop, so the tanning bed probably goes unused.
I learned a great deal in those days.
Since he is based on a Greek, he kind of ends up being white. Whoop de doo.
