What message does a black Santa send except that there's nothing too sacred to muddy up? Black genocide will fix the problem.

You know Saint Nicholas of Myra was a swarthy guy from Turkey, right?
Same for Jesus and most of the cast of the Bible....varying shades of Olive, Brown and Black.
Finally; Santa is fiction therefore, Santa can be anything!
Santa can be a Klingon, Na'vi or Rodian for all I care! If he can don a white beard and a winter getup and ride a flying, reindeer-pulled sleigh, then it's all good.

Heck, ancient gods never necessarily needed to look human at all. Greek myths, for example, made it clear that a god, being a god, could look like anything they wanted; they just looked like Greek humans most of the time for convenience's sake (and because looking at their true forms had similar side effects on mortals to looking at a Lovecraftian horror). Trying to impose a certain race on them is a ridiculous folly.
@Uilleam
Exactly. What's funny is that even in the context of Norse mythology's deities, several of them were actually the closest thing eldritch beings would have to "mixed-race".
Which makes the racial purists all the more hilarious and sad and infuriating.
Actually, the fundie version of Santa Claus, is my namesake, The Flying Idiot. He flies around the world, giving guns to all the good little fundies, and gay porn to the bad ones.
What message does a black Santa send?
Probably "Ho ho ho" and "Merry Christmas".
"Black genocide will fix the problem."
Ah, there's the true Christian spirit of the season!
Edit:
I'm Dr. Razark, and I approve this message and fixing the login system.
What message does he send? The message that both black people and white people love little children and buy them Christmas gifts. What message are you sending to little children, first-hand? That hate and violence are all they can expect in life, and they cannot get a hug from a parent that's sitting in jail.
Realistically, genocide would not solve the problem. The raping, torturing pirates have been gone for ages, but they're available as plushies for your kids. "Vanished" Black people would instantly be romanticized to the point where you'd see a person in Blackface in every ad and sports teams would be called Mandinka and Zulus.
Genocide never works. You can kill millions on an industrial scale (see the Holocaust) and the targets STILL manage to survive and be the fifth largest religious community on Earth. See, the problem is that genocide is driven by bigotry and bigotry believes irrational things. Things such as the target lacking humanity and human intelligence. Once you forget that your target has human intelligence it becomes easier for them to pull one over on you and your psychotic regime. And you also forget that other nations exist, nations that will HAPPILY take your Einsteins off your hands and provide refuge for other members of that group. Hitler had the most organized and industrialized form of genocide ever attempted and he failed in his final solution. What makes you think you will succeed?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
