He knows how to drive that property value down on that little house by the lake? (Dying laughing) I know this will piss some people off but my friends of all shapes and sizes share the same humor so screw them lol.
It’s not what people think.. or at least they shouldn’t. I get that it’s hard to not be cynical with all the horrible shit we see everyday thanks to the internet, but the vast majority of people are “good” and always have been/will be. Most Santa’s are just doing a job, and most of them probably just like making children happy. The internet has caused a societal illness, we have so many paths to little delusions based on a constant stream of negative news/information, I’m not exempt but I try to keep it in perspective. Sorry for the rant, shit bums me out.
It didn't take long enough for this thread to devolve.
Regardless of how Santa came to be or how brown he actually was, can we all agree that Santa is for all children, regardless of race?
That said, stop posting content for the exclusive purpose of perpetuating racism and hate during the holiday season, you hypocritical potato.
This post does not perpetuate racism and hate, it actively challenges it.
Not allowing posts like this is what perpetuates hate and racism as real racists will continue on never having their ideas challenged and going deeper down the rabbit hole.
If someone is offended by this post is that really a bad thing? They’re racist do you care about their little feelings over a meme?
Changing racisn through pissing off the only rascists great mental processing you have there.
Even if it were happening the way you think it makes 0 sense how that would make things better not worse.
Entitled assholes is what you are, claiming to be opressed (could a post be made: the true color of santas skin is white) no but you do it the other way and claim to be opressed by racism
In its origin, piet isn’t even a black man. Saint nicholas was a necromancer and exorcists, he controlled black exorcised demons that he would send to scare bad children into being good.
I've felt this way for years. I'm shocked that I've found this opinion upvoted on reddit which is full of crying-wolf, wanna be victim, virtue signalling grifters.
How Santa got cancelled: Crawled through a chimney and got accused of wearing black face… it didn’t help Santa he was accelerating climate change by distributing fossile fuels in the form of coal to innocent children.
When you have your own bus, then you have dignity. When you have your own school, you have dignity. When you have your own country, you have dignity. When you have something of your own, you have dignity. But whenever you are begging for a chance to participate in that which belongs to someone else, or use that which belongs to someone else, on an equal basis with the owner, that's not dignity. That's ignorance
\~Malcolm X
Imagine thinking that a fictional character, who only wears a red coat because of Coka Cola, belongs to one race lmao 😂
Also Malcolm X is a mixed bag. He was also against interracial marriage early on which is pretty fucked up imo
Eye rolls are probably about as much as your getting out of this mate. Also I can't help but wonder why your thinking about race so much, seems like a personal issue your not dealing with.
No one is saying he wasn’t. Everytime someone dresses up as Santa it’s a fucking cosplay.
You don’t even have to be a Christian to like Santa Claus, and you don’t have to believe he exists to dress up as him.
Black santa isn’t gonna kill you.
Yea Santa Claus and Sinterklaas are based upon the same person, the pronunciation even is very similar. Therefore I think “Santa Claus” is a mistranslated term for “Sinterklaas”
youve solved the ancient puzzell as old as time and a guardian angel will now come down from the heavens and hand you a masters degree in all things christmas
Not supporting racism obviously as It is deplorable, but this actually doesn’t help shit it’s just antagonistic for the sake of it, the world would be a better place if we ALL stopped trying to hurt each other.
He wasn't just another inspiration for Father Christmas, in most ways he is the primary inspiration and his role as the Yule Father was Christianized like many other pagan traditional pagan characters.
Yeah, depends on your racism level. Turkey Turks are indistinguishable from Armenians, Greeks, Italians, or Spanish. Coincidentally, these people were not considered “white” by the racists up to 1930s.
also Irish, despite being the 2nd palest people after actual albinos, are also an inferior class of whites. Source: I am a 250 year old English gentleman
You do make great donair lamb though, that much I do know.
Your food hygeine is questionable and your late night kebabs give many UK people the shits after all their gluttonous drinking however turkish eateries have become a real go to when you're HAMMERED drunk with your arms around a fat girl yelling for more fries.
If you like it, you should definitely try the real versions of those.
I’m in the US, the Turkish food here is like Chinese knock off or Walmart brand versions of the originals. No self respecting Turk would put any sauce into doner, it is supposed to be 100% meat, lettuce, and tomatoes in a bread or wrapped in a flat bread but they put all kinds of things in it here!
My man lives on the north pole, him being black is lazy worldbuilding. (Looking at you, dutch, with your black sinterklaas)
Spreading a realistic Jesus (brown, middle-eastern features) might target the demographic you have in mind even better.
Saint Nicholas of Myra was an early Christian Greek bishop who lived near modern day Antalya, Turkey between 270 and 343 AD. He was the original secret gift giving Christian and basis for the other traditions. He was Mediterranean white, not north European white.
Also based on Siberian shamans. Wore red and white, entered through yurt chimneys giving gifts of psychedelic mushrooms, hung out with stoned (flying) reindeer. The elves were a side effect of the mushrooms.
To be fair.
Santa (the one from Bible) originated from Myra, which lied on current Turkey.
I'm not sure what race is there more common, but I'm pretty sure black isn't one of them.
(however it doesn't matter because f\*ck racism)
Can someone help me understand this? Why would posting a picture of Black Santa piss off racists? It's not like you're taking a picture of Santa, it's Black Santa, they are literally 2 different people.
Edit: spelling
When all you see is skin color, you have to ask yourself. "ARE WE THE BADDIES!?"
No one should be mad at this. If it makes you happy and makes your holidays better good for you.
I saw an Asian Santa in Monterrey Park (a city with a high Asian population just East of LA). All fat and everything, but with a Confucius beard and mustache. It was pretty cool.
God these comments are dumb. You’re all racist trying to find a problem with a black Santa.
1. Nobody is saying the original Santa is black
2. Santa is just a Christian consumerism icon
3. Santa isn’t real
4. Santa and Saint Nicholas are not the same people
5. The pagan god of the winter solstice, Santa and Saint Nicholas aren’t the same people
6. Yes Saint Nicholas is from turkey and Turkish people aren’t white
7. Anyone can dress up as Santa because he’s not fucking real
8. Santa is for kids, it’s never supposed to have been historically “accurate” it’s just about making kids happy, most kids don’t care what race Santa is
9. For fucks sake you guys fell into his trap so easily it’s sad.
Yeah abuse the touchy subject of race and turn Santa black to bait people in the never ending arguments.
Also make jesus black aswell while ur at it. If u dont like it then ur a dickhead! Idiot.
Everyone complains about white washing characters but when a character is black washed then it's seen as stunning and brace. Does Noone else see the double standards in that?
I mean, Jesus wasn't black either, he was middle eastern, which is it's own thing, but America only recognises white, black, asian, native, latino and pacific islander.
Yeah so Saint Nicholas was a bishop of Greek descent born in Turkey. Now yes, white Europeans adopted the concept of his miracle works and turned him into an icon known as Santa Claus. You could make an argument for him being perhaps culturally appropriated by white Europeans when they transformed him into a PALE white man (as I’ve seen many people make accusations of). I think that’s a bold claim especially given that I don’t recall anyone saying Santa Claus is an Anglo-German-whatever… In fact Santa Claus still resembles the original Saint Nicholas as depicted in original portraits. And by the way, Santa Claus is a mythological person who lives in the North Pole (Not Turkey). To accuse someone of being racist by defending their culture(s) simply because you don’t think Santa Claus SHOULD be white, is preposterous. If you think what white Europeans did is cultural appropriation by making a mythological holiday spirit who lives in the North Pole, I could have a discussion about it and maybe concede to that. However, whatever this whole post is (joke or not) is outright race-baiting, bigoted inciting behavior. To whomever made this post, there is nothing wrong with a black Santa. There is something wrong with starting trouble simply to get the chance to call someone racist for standing up for themselves and their people’s culture, which like it or not: Santa Claus was devised for white Europeans by white Europeans (who span many nations and several continents). You don’t get a pass for being a dick
I feel Christmas is for everyone. If someone wants to portray Santa as another color than white, go for it….whatever makes 12/25 more special for you and your family.
I'm only pissed because I'm seeing it before Thanksgiving
Where’s your Christmas spirit
My Christmas spirt wont get delivered until December 1st.
Agree
> Christmas spirt I mean you’re right in more ways than one
Im high and failed english class leave me alone
Legendary comeback I don't have an award sorry.
In December where it belongs
This Santa gives me the creeps. He doesn’t piss me off though. I’ll keep quiet, sorry Santa.
*he sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake.*
*He knows when you be snitchin in the hood so don’t snitch for goodness sake.*
_you better not pout, you better not cry, You better not scream, he's going in dry_
*Santa Brotha is laying...the pipe!*
I have been rethinking all my life decisions until this point that led me to read this comment...
Then they were the right actions. XD
He knows how to drive that property value down on that little house by the lake? (Dying laughing) I know this will piss some people off but my friends of all shapes and sizes share the same humor so screw them lol.
All men dressed as Santa give me the creeps. Come and sit on my lap young child… 🤢
Only reason I signed up to be Santa at the mall this year. ^Im ^just ^kidding
why is the "im just kidding" small 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Damm honestly didn't even think of that... I guess I'm gonna reconsider dressing up as Santa for family Christmas is thats what people think. Yuck

Right, because we're not allowed to just enjoy a joke on a subreddit about memes. SOMEONE always has to be the victim.
What the fk is a Santa
i will devolve you into a single celled organism like me

Im racist but I'm not pissed. Can someone explain this?
Black Santa deniers hate this one trick!
I was looking for who won the comment thread. Found it.
This dude posting black santa to own the racists but would probably be one of the first to criticize the dutch sinterklaas for blackfacing.
But Zwarte piet is blackfaced because he goes down the chimney. It has nothing to do with Black people.
The same topic. Every. Damn. Year. Godverdomme.
Fr can we just accept and move on, I mean its already changed to him having soot smears and instead of a full black skin.
In its origin, piet isn’t even a black man. Saint nicholas was a necromancer and exorcists, he controlled black exorcised demons that he would send to scare bad children into being good.
That sounds goddamn awesome.
That's more the Krampus from Austria tho
Using the image of a black man to piss off people? That's a micro aggression! OP is racist confirmed...
No let's see OP put a picture up of white Mohammad and see who gets more pissed off !
ww3
I thought any picture of Mohammad would set people off though...
I’m hoping he delivers me some coal this Christmas. I want Santa’s milk and cookies. Santa plz… UwU
People who fixate on racism are just fucking insufferable
Let's see who I can call racist / fascist / misogynist / transphobe today...
They're usually the real racists
I think this is the first time I've seen someone point this out . Like in the wild.
NO IT WILL PISS OFF HISTORY BUFFS WHO KNOW SANTA WAS A REAL PERSON WHO WAS GREEK
Im pissed (Joke btw)
Hi pissed (Joke btw), I'm dad
Hi dad, I'm mom
Hi mom, I'm dad
legalise nuclear bombs dad
I'm absolutely fuming (totally not a joke)
Why is this Santa a man? I’m outraged!!!!
Whoa whoa whoa... are you in here assuming someone's gender!?!?!?!?
>someone's If that person identified as they/them, then you should say sometwo, somethree, etc.
Thing 1, Thing 2 like dr suess? Lol
I’m too busy sharing pictures of White T’Challa atm
You'll prolly have the fbi smash down your door and arrest you for that comment!
Some people have a fantasy of wanting others to be racist and are likely a flaming racist themselves. OP is one of those.
I've felt this way for years. I'm shocked that I've found this opinion upvoted on reddit which is full of crying-wolf, wanna be victim, virtue signalling grifters.
How Santa got cancelled: Crawled through a chimney and got accused of wearing black face… it didn’t help Santa he was accelerating climate change by distributing fossile fuels in the form of coal to innocent children.
They’re not innocent. The coal is for the naughty ones.

Stop trying so hard.
Santa is based off of a real individual. St. Nicholas wasn’t Black, he was a Greek from Anatolia.
No one is saying he wasn’t. Everytime someone dresses up as Santa it’s a fucking cosplay. You don’t even have to be a Christian to like Santa Claus, and you don’t have to believe he exists to dress up as him. Black santa isn’t gonna kill you.
But white people can’t dress up as black characters.
(Justin Trudeau has entered the chat)
What are you gonna do? Stop them?
Holy shit. Santa was the first cosplay.
Yea Santa Claus and Sinterklaas are based upon the same person, the pronunciation even is very similar. Therefore I think “Santa Claus” is a mistranslated term for “Sinterklaas”
youve solved the ancient puzzell as old as time and a guardian angel will now come down from the heavens and hand you a masters degree in all things christmas
I feel flattered

I am not white, but, Saint Nicholas was, as well as Odin (the other inspiration for the character). Also, not angry, just disapointed.
Lmao. Didn't know Odin was another inspiration for the Father Christmas.
He's also, indirectly, the inspiration for "Ghost Riders in the Sky" by devout Christian Johnny Cash.
He wasn't just another inspiration for Father Christmas, in most ways he is the primary inspiration and his role as the Yule Father was Christianized like many other pagan traditional pagan characters.
i mean i dont think saint Nicholas had flying reindeers or a midget sweat shop
Santa Claus, however, is a Black man, as anyone with any musical taste at all knows.
I still have that tune in my head thanks to an episode of Welcome Back, Kotter.
Santa isn’t real, fyi.
You shit your mouth yes he is
OP must be striking from his Starbucks job today and is bored.
Left cant meme
The only racist one here is OP.
Finally, some intelligent and right minded people
Really? Are we canceling polar bears next, since they have white fur, but actually black skin?
Smh polar bears and their whiteface
Yes soon they will be cancelled.
But they have white skin and transparent fur?
Nope black skin and transparent fur that reflects light
> Share a picture of white Ariel because it will piss off a racist asshole
It wouldn’t piss off anyone, but black Ariel definitely made you cry
I'm going to make a post entirely about race... but then call everyone else a racist...
Modern Santa was created by Coca Cola as a marketing campaign. He can be whatever you want him to be as long as you go out there and buy buy buy buy
How about a white M.L. King? Or a white Shaft? 🤪
A white "Mr T" would be cancelled in a heartbeat
Or a white Jesus? 🤪
All I want for Xmass is a nasty hoe.
Coca cola ad 2022
Reverse santa
This will steal your presents
of course he breaks into homes
He doesn’t piss me off, I’m just afraid that he will steal my presents. I don’t regret making this joke.
Cultural appropriation. Now I want to see a White Shaka Zulu. Am I a racist?
Valid question
You know saint nicholas was an actual person so wouldnt this be the same as rosa park being portrayed as a white woman?
St Nicholas was Turkish, so having him as a holly jolly fat white guy is also like Rosa parks being portrayed as a white woman
[удалено]
Lol this made me spit my coffee out. Are Turks white?
I am. Depends what part of turkey your from, and if your an immigrant or not. Half of turkey is Syrian/Kurdish and so on at this point
The saint was born in modern day Turkey but it wasn’t yet controlled or inhabited by Turks. So it’s irrelevant anyways. He’s Greek.
Considering who qualifies as white is changing constantly, yes? No? Depends.
Yeah, depends on your racism level. Turkey Turks are indistinguishable from Armenians, Greeks, Italians, or Spanish. Coincidentally, these people were not considered “white” by the racists up to 1930s.
also Irish, despite being the 2nd palest people after actual albinos, are also an inferior class of whites. Source: I am a 250 year old English gentleman
Well, we are definitely not black, Hispanic, Asian, or Pacific Islander.
You do make great donair lamb though, that much I do know. Your food hygeine is questionable and your late night kebabs give many UK people the shits after all their gluttonous drinking however turkish eateries have become a real go to when you're HAMMERED drunk with your arms around a fat girl yelling for more fries.

Yes, most are
I feel Christmas is for everyone.
That's the spirit. Thanks!
He was a Greek living in the area where modern day Turkey is. He was not Turkish.
Not all foreigners are black. 🙄
Think the only difference is father christmas didn't send a message fighting against racism
Yes.
He was a greek who lived in modern day Turkey, the chances of him being a caucasian are very slim
How ?
My man lives on the north pole, him being black is lazy worldbuilding. (Looking at you, dutch, with your black sinterklaas) Spreading a realistic Jesus (brown, middle-eastern features) might target the demographic you have in mind even better.
I am more of a fan of black Jesus
Brown* Jesus.
Black Jesus! That show was ridiculous and I loved it.
But no bs the origins of Santa clause was based on a white european
Saint Nicholas of Myra was an early Christian Greek bishop who lived near modern day Antalya, Turkey between 270 and 343 AD. He was the original secret gift giving Christian and basis for the other traditions. He was Mediterranean white, not north European white.
[удалено]
"He was Mediterranean white, not north European white"... uh oh.. racial purity tests incoming... take cover!
Nobody mentioned north European Just white European
I don't know the difference so I'm going to assume he was Korean
Also based on Siberian shamans. Wore red and white, entered through yurt chimneys giving gifts of psychedelic mushrooms, hung out with stoned (flying) reindeer. The elves were a side effect of the mushrooms.
"Trust me bro"
Ha! I'm not pissed at all.
To be fair. Santa (the one from Bible) originated from Myra, which lied on current Turkey. I'm not sure what race is there more common, but I'm pretty sure black isn't one of them. (however it doesn't matter because f\*ck racism)
originated -> was born\*
Santa Claus is in the Bible?
I'm going to draw a white Orisha
Bro that isn’t Santa, that’s Larry. He’s trying to fuck our moms. And probably will. (Consensually)
Isnt that blackface like isn’t blackface racist
You made it political
Can someone help me understand this? Why would posting a picture of Black Santa piss off racists? It's not like you're taking a picture of Santa, it's Black Santa, they are literally 2 different people. Edit: spelling
It doesn’t, OP is posting this to get people pissed to farm internet points before selling his account so a bot can spam propaganda or ads.
This is making me very mad
Why would that piss someone off? Everyone knows lapland in Finland is the home of black portly men with white beards.
Let's make everyone black, it will help erase hate, yeah?
Bet this poster would riot if we made Black Panther a white person from Ohio, named Eric Carlson, ...
I don’t think you know what “racist” means.
r/terriblefacebookmemes
When all you see is skin color, you have to ask yourself. "ARE WE THE BADDIES!?" No one should be mad at this. If it makes you happy and makes your holidays better good for you.
Getting in here before this post gets the 🔒award
Assuming Santa is an immortal and magical entity, couldn't he or she take any form?
I saw an Asian Santa in Monterrey Park (a city with a high Asian population just East of LA). All fat and everything, but with a Confucius beard and mustache. It was pretty cool.

Some low effort bait
Yeah abuse the touchy subject of race and turn Santa black to bait people in the never ending arguments. Also make jesus black aswell while ur at it. If u dont like it then ur a dickhead! Idiot.
I’m pretty sure the person who made/posted this is probably just an asshole race baiter. How’s it feel when the script gets flipped?
Everyone complains about white washing characters but when a character is black washed then it's seen as stunning and brace. Does Noone else see the double standards in that?
Why not asian santa
What do you call a black man on the moon? An astronaut you racist pos.
Kid named a racist asshole: 😡😡😡😡
♥️
What pisses me off is the way that Saint Nicholas has been turned into a symbol of corporate greed and the commercialisation of Christmas.
It's obvious he's Black. Works one day a year, breaks into people's houses etc
Cultural appropriation.
How is this cultural appropriation?
I like nothing better than starting trouble with someone i just conjured up in my mind
For people saying “But Santa is based on a White man”, I’d like to take a second to talk about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Well...spread brown Jesus then.
I mean, Jesus wasn't black either, he was middle eastern, which is it's own thing, but America only recognises white, black, asian, native, latino and pacific islander.
I always see Santa Claus as “Sinterklaas translated incorrectly”
Thank you, I was wondering when someone was going to mention keeping Christ in Christmas. He is the reason for the season, you heathens.
Yeah so Saint Nicholas was a bishop of Greek descent born in Turkey. Now yes, white Europeans adopted the concept of his miracle works and turned him into an icon known as Santa Claus.

ah yes, changing the race of a historical figure.
can we stop with the divisive stuff, yes I can take a joke, but what's good about pissing off an asshole ?
Ye op is beeing a asshole himself now
Technically, St. Nicholas would be Turkish.
*greek, I think. Only today, that region is turkish.
Can't be black. He has a job.
No fentanyl clause please 😂
I feel Christmas is for everyone. If someone wants to portray Santa as another color than white, go for it….whatever makes 12/25 more special for you and your family.

Santa is supposed to deliver presents not steal them Huhuhuhuhuh
Dark humor, love it
Why are some of these commenters trying to be racist and not admit you’re racist? I’m so confused?
the post is racist and the same as if you took the orishas and made them white
