If you want to take the Bible as accurate to history, then he'd be Middle Eastern! :) So nowhere near white; probably closer to black for all we know! ❤️
I enjoy the holiday humor but this is a very serious problem. We all need to realize there are people behind the scenes in Trump's administration working on weakening the 14th and 19th amendments. Removing birthright is an attack on the 14th amendment, not just an attack on immigrants.
They're taking away the right for women to even decide about their own bodies. They attack women executives and equal pay provisions as DEI. They're already attacking voting rights across America. Do you think that's where things will end?
The human fetus is its own body and not that of the mother host.
Executives negotiate their pay.
When I worked for a certain company. There were many women in my job title that were being paid more than I because they had better negotiating skills.
The 14th amendment, “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside”
pertained to the newly freed slaves.
People born of illegal immigrants shouldnt be granted automatic citizenship
Yeah but I guess they forgot to mention that part about illegal immigrants. One thing about the law is if something isn't mentioned you can't just assume they intended to say it. If birthright is abolished this will go to the Supreme Court.
It should. People should understand why the 14th amendment was important and how it’s being abused now.
A child shouldn’t be granted citizenship unless at least one parent is here legally.
They should be treated like diplomats are treated and the citizenship should be of their home country.
Love it. EVERY DAY each of us should send something out that gives MAGA heart palpitations. Actuarial statistics are on our side. Any more Black mermaids? 🤭
Exactly! They're all bitching about Bluesky somehow being "anti free speech," to which I'm like... fucking cry harder. We'll be able to better collectivize without them here anyway.
Gotta love when people get mad about a mythical being whose entire modern look was invented by Coca Cola in the 1930's. There's nothing sacred about Santa, people need to calm the eff down.
Don't believe the hoax.
Santa's "modern" look was inspired by a multitude of midwinter gift-bringers in Europe and West Asia.The red and white come from his namesake Saint Nicholas who actually existed. The hat, winter clothes and sleigh come from mythical figures in more northern regions.
Correct. But when you ask someone to imagine what Santa Claus looks like, the majority of us are going to visualize a version popularized by marketing illustrations for Coca Cola. My point in that was we only came to a unified understanding of what Santa "should" look like within the past century.
I appreciate the thinking behind this but it odoes't work for me. A creepy guy who wanders into your kid's bedroom at night is definitely a white Trump cabinet nominee.
several years ago, there was a play in NY there was a black actor who would play Jesus. the far right would become enraged and threaten to kill him and burn the place. there were 2 parts to the play. he would portray the devil in the second part. they had no problem with that
My headcanon is that Santa Claus is a Holy Spirit of sorts that changes forms. Like God and Jesus, he appears how we interpret him. Same with his wife or husband. Yes who’s the say he can’t be bisexual. Peace, love, and good will towards man. God bless us everyone.
Tell that to the rest of the magas.
You want to really break their minds? Tell them about the invisible man in the sky watching their every move. Listening into their every thought. 🤣
I find it hilarious if we ever experienced the second coming of Jesus here in the U.S. he would be deported faster than a MAGA ejaculating after seeing an AR-15
Sir. I have studied the history of Braveheart very well yes I know he was no peasant. That does not take away the fact he was fighting for scotland and standing up against insurmountable odds.
History Geek notes the real St. Nicholas lived in Turkey, not the North Pole, died fairly young, probably wasn’t overweight, never saw a reindeer, & probably wore togas.
But black? Whoa; that’s just going too far!! 😱😱
🙄🤦🏻
Saint Nicholas was Roman by conquest, but was Greek living in Anatolian by ethnicity. He's the patron saint of the Eastern Orthodox Church. He punched heretics at the canonical committee in the face before being thrown out, and paid women's dowries so that they wouldn't have to be prostitutes.
Saint Nick also resurrected some kids a guy killed to sell as ham when he couldn't afford to buy meat, then beat that guy and had him arrested. In other words, Santa Claus was an Anatolian Greek bad ass.
Oh they are, trying their very best to drag this place down like they did X. The protocol is to not engage them and block. There are several mod lists of their accounts you can subscribe to that mass blocks them.
As a magical being in my mind where ever he is at he is as the people at each home are. I'm sure the majority of people that would be bothered by a black Santa don't let their kids have that belief or magic in their childhood 🤔
This is the Santa we had for our upper upper middle class community, Christmas Extravaganza. Mr. & Mrs. Class were well received by those that attended but since we advertised he would be there, our event was 50% less than last year. Hmmmmmm.....
I would simply argue the "White Jesus" originates from cultural comprenshion of the originating worldview, based on their individual self-conceptualization. If, CENTURIES AGO, people did not have wide exposure to the world -- which was largely true in the 15th/16th centuries, western...
European cultures would have based their understanding upon the predominant and culturally accepted/understood ideas of that time. The British monarchy and dominant traditions viewed that as the "White Jesus."
What IS wrong is refusing to acknowledge, consider, or accept that Jesus is or could be anything other than Causaian, and that is the problem, at least in my opinion. People must become willing and more comfortable to step outside their comfort zone and examine these ingroup-outgroup biases.
***IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION/EDIT***
In the first post, I stated, in part, "from their comprehension of their originating worldview."
Ut is important to clarify that by "their," I am referencing the dominant Western European cultures and framework from which the King James Bible originated.
They knew that Jesus had to be brown skinned with coily hair.
Secondly, the Bible describe Jesus is having hair like sheep’s wool.
Thirdly, at that time, there were no white skinned, straight haired blue eyed men originating in Israel.
Not entirely. There actually was a St. Nicholas on whom the myth is based, though as a Turkish Mediterranean man, he certainly would not have seemed terribly white.
Thanks I hesitated to write my comment, could sound disingenuous as people might write this for attention.
But I thought: if this meme exists, it must be because not everyone shares my perspective. Lucky I grew up in the Caribbean where we are all shades and color is never the first thing we see.
Years ago I saw a random tv Xmas movie where Judd Nelson (yes from Tje Breakfast Club) played Santa and all the kids who met him saw him as the same ethnicity as the kid and it confused all adults because all they saw was a snarky white dude. I thought it was a brilliant moment
Be like but wait there’s more. Tonight we have a special guest. Hire a black Jesus to officiate the Conservative Corporate Christmas party and watch MF’s melt down. Have a black Santa handing out copies of the Constitution.
Actually if Jesus Christ was;then he would look black/dark skinned,and definitely not white,blonde,or blue eyed-he’d have been more of the desert Sun-bleached look in his hair,skin darkened,&maybe the eye color is debatable-but the sun/genetics dictates that he wasn’t white!🤦🏼♀️💦
I remember watching the movie “Cleopatra” when I was a kid and always thought Cleopatra looked like Liz Taylor!! 🤦🏻♀️🙄
Hollywood got a black eye for this…no pun intended.
I work in all kinds of environments and neighborhoods. It’s one of the things I love about my job. I work in the city, suburbs, and out in the boondocks in rural areas. I love it all. I was working in West Philadelphia one day and the customer had a picture of a black Jesus. I loved it. Never seen
something like that. Anyone who thinks Jesus was white is a moron. They depict him as a blue eyed Caucasian. They whitewash everything to fit their narrative and agenda. It’s pathetic. I actually love God but can’t stand the church. I believe in the Spirit of God. I love a good laugh.I’m not racist
My views exactly. I hate organized (unorganized) religion. I am spiritual and I guess a Christian to a certain extent. I’m familiar with and was a member of several. Most are cults. They’re all hypocrites.
How does it feel to be this stupid to believe a fake internet story about Jada playing Rupuzel, but hey you Trump supporter, so I know you believe anything. This not even a role Jada would be offered or accept. Now take your phoney racist outrage back over to X...and get bent.
You dam right, I'm smart than you. You're so triggered by black people you fell for a fake story 😂. You are so triggered by black people even picture of a black Santa has you shook. black children able to see black Santa who looks like them. You're children never had to worry about that. Stay mad
WTF would a white guy play a king from an African tribe, have you seen the movie? 200 plus years of white supremacy and privilege in every aspect of this country,but black people portraying fictional characters got your racist panties in wack. Stay mad 😂
F your hypocrisy. You have always had characters who look like you, you never had to worry about being represented...When a black Santa has you shook, the problem is your racist mindset. Guess what there is not a dam thing you can do about it...cry harder
In his defence are you saying you don’t have white Africans?
Rapunzel is German set in medieval times. For that to happen there’d need be black Germans. I can’t confirm that, however, studies show high ranking black officers on the Mary Rose…just a nice fact for the gammons you might encounter
White Africans are colonizers and racists. You all stay mad and can spare us your fake phony racist outrage seeing black people represented. I did some research, something you clowns never do..Jada is not playing Rupuzel. It was made up.
I love how you people think you can sense the tone of text lmfaooo. It’s a simple question but you automatically think it’s from a hateful standpoint instead of a logical one.
This photo is a Black man wearing a Santa hat. He’s not doing anything comparable to blackface.He’s not wearing face-paint. Your comparison makes zero sense.
Blackface was done historically to mock & dehumanize Black Americans. You know that already, but still you pretend a Black Santa is the same.
This “race-based content” is content that *mocks* racists. See the difference? It’s nothing like the blackface you tried to compare it to. The post is obviously against racism. Why would he avoid posting it? Bigots deserve mockery.It’s one of the best ways to socially reject small-minded assholes.
Because sometimes it’s good to remind folks… and some people need to be annoyed… though it is very ironic, given how the portrayal of a “white” Jesus has always been deeply problematic… but yet they would object to a black Santa 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Obama did tell black people to vote for a black person, if a white person said vote for the white person that would be racist wouldn't it. Obama is a racist
I don’t have a problem with black people voting for other black people who represent their cultural differences. That would be similar to a jury of our peers. Our representatives should reflect the many races and ethnicities in America.
Dude everyone knows Jesus was a great looking white dude with flowing brown locks because everyone from that area is very white and has blue eyes (/sarcasm)
In the 80s, our mall had a white Santa and a black Santa. I (a white girl) preferred the black Santa because he was more fun. The white Santa was boring.
I like all the Santas
I’ve followed Brooklyn
Dad for years, and our tradition
as followers calls for
lots of black Santas,
Black Jesuses, Palestinian Santa
and Jesus, all that festive stuff.
Tis the season to be jolly.

An asshole because he still believes in Santa.

By asking people to identify themselves with their valid state IDs?
We should be demanding a more secure election process.
A valid ID is required to register to vote.
Presenting that ID to vote shouldn’t be an issue

DEI promotes racial and gender discrimination

Santa is just imaginary... the rage is much funnier
But to a god freak any shade beyond #FFFFFF is black
in my case it's just the hexadecimal code for white.
But black? Whoa; that’s just going too far!! 😱😱
🙄🤦🏻
I'm down with inclusivity ☺️

I’m glad you get so triggered by a black guy in a Santa suit.
Santa isn't real you shit, he could be blue and it would be just as accurate as if he were white
He knows where da White Women are at!
I didn't expect racism like this.
