    welp, the traditional santa was of color, so why have a white man portray him...

    your argument carriers zero weight, he was on his own time...

    btw, do you have a copy of his santa portrayal contract, and all it's clauses...

    hahaha, santa 'clauses'... i get it now... funny sh*t...

    I don't get the left, their entire theology revolves around free stuffs, Santa's theology revolves around free stuffs! I gotta say they are in a constant confuses state of flux between what they love and what they hate! If a leftist cant love a Santa when a Santa is just an extension of the concept of welfare I don't know how they could ever be really content with anything??

    It was a single photo, after hours-for his personal social media, after nearly 50 years of being Santa Clause.

    St. Nicholas, who Santa Claus is modled after, was born in the Lycian seaport city of Patara at a time when the Romans occupied the area. So, between that and the fact that many whites of the time considered people of color to be inferior so doubt that they would let one become a bishop (maybe a friar, but not a bishop), much less a saint, odds are pretty good that the guy was white.

    But in truth no one really knows for sure what skin color he was. Most scholars don't even consider the race when studying ancient civilizations and history. And good on them for that imo.

    YOU forgot St. Nicholas is / was a patron Saint for Children!
    Maybe he loved them more than Roman Catholics as
    St. Nicholas delivered a pouch of money to those in desperate need.


    Santa Claus is American
    Sure Russians have Father Christmas and Snow Maiden
    Dutch have St. Nicholas and politically incorrect, Black Peter
    but America and Coca Cola put it all together.
    Witness: Santa Claus.
    AMERICAN!

    Is It True Santa Claus skips

    It's the supreme arrogance of imagining everyone thinks exactly as you do. And if they don't (which is like .. impossible, but still), they are of the devil.

    These people are like a passive-aggressive Spanish Inquisition.

    I passed one yesterday wearing a black baseball cap while walking to restroom on break. It was at busiest time of day too, so hundreds saw him.

    As time has gone on you have to be more and more careful what you say and what you do on company property. Most companies know more about you than you do. Any joke is high risk. You have to walk on rice paper. Just sayin'.

    Be careful and circumspect out there.

    True. Thought the same thing when I read it.

    We had a security officer in 2014 that worked as a contractor overseas. He was wearing some type of Obama hat (not sure what it was exactly)...but it symbolized Obama in some form.

    He was terminated when he returned home because he posted it on social media. It made people think the company was biased.

    Anyway, I agree with you. If there's a dress code- stick to it.

    It seems a bit over the top to fire the guy. I think there would be better ways to handle this than to let him go.

    --Just to be clear, the mall was closing; it was not already closed.

    Watch the news report-its stated the mall was closed and no children were present.

    And yes-there were better ways to handle this.

    He works just one day a year and judges you for 364 days a year.

    Sure thing. While defending the MAGA hat wearer, I'd imagine the collective RW heads exploding if a picture of a Santa in Obama gear had surfaced.

    In any case, normal people don't wear campaign gear outside of election time, let alone when dressed up like Santa.

    many states do not allow it at the polling sites, it's known as passive electioneering... any other time/place is a-ok...

    I wasn't there, so I can't say for sure. The article you quoted said the mall was closing, but it didn't say it was closed yet. The news article posted comments from the Santa, and I thought he said the same thing--that it was closing. Not a really big deal other than what appears to be a contradiction in the OP.
