DRAG QUEEN story hours for young children are just dandy, but Santa Claus is a symbol of “white supremacy.”
At the same time, Muslims are pressuring more and more schools to recognize two Muslim holidays by closing the schools for them. And they are succeeding.

St. Nick a symbol of white supremacy? That’s funny. The original St. Nick, St. Nicholas of Myra, might have been dark skinned based on reconstructions of his face based on remains taken from what is believed to have been his grave. One reconstruction even gives him African features. And that is possible. Let’s face it, North Africa is not that far away from Turkey. He lived in Turkey and may have been at least olive skinned. So St. Nick wasn’t exactly a white man to begin with. (I have my own theory that St. Nick was a light skinned Mulatto, like myself, but because he was so light skinned (like myself), people thought he was white. LOL. The truth is out NOW. LOL. 🙂 )
Now “Old Man Winter”, which St. Nick eventually became melded with was part of Scandinavian folklore. I suppose that Old Man Winter might have been portrayed as white. And, of course, Western cultures in Europe used elements from their own cultures and their own cultural traditions in celebration of Christmas. And that, of course, is normal, people everywhere do that.
As for Y’shua of Nazareth (Jesus), he indeed was a Middle Eastern Jew, so he was probably olive skinned, but he wasn’t, strictly speaking, Sub Saharan African.
But Jesus is one of those personages where people seem him as like themselves, thus we have Jesus portrayed in various colors depending on the culture group representing him.

Like I said….CANCEL CULTURE = another recent contribution of Western civilization toward the betterment of humanity.

As Far-Left politically as Maine has become lately and with our share of Somalis, we haven’t gone down that rat hole…yet. I suspect it will happen at some point since these same Leftie losers are also trying to ban lobstering in order to put up windmaiils along the coast.
