update: santa claus is black and married to a white male.
yes.
now was he always dl and how did he break up with mrs. claus?
i have questions,
obviously.
times have changed and this recent children’s book wants to reflect that.
it’s called “santa’s husband” and this is what “the blaze” had to say…
Looking for a last-minute Christmas gift for kids between the ages of 4 and 8?
That’s the age range for readers of “Santa’s Husband” — an illustrated children’s book depicting St. Nick as gay, black and married to a man.
Author Daniel Kibblesmith is a staff writer with ultra-liberal “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” and he said during a CNN interview about “Santa’s Husband” that it was inspired by Americans “pretending that there’s a giant war on Christmas and that traditional Christmas is under attack.”
“We were reading all of the news about Mall of America hiring a black Santa Claus last year, and me and my now-wife made a joke on Twitter that if we ever had a child they would only know about black Santa Claus, and if they saw a white Santa Claus at the mall we would just explain ‘Well, that’s his husband,’” Kibblesmith told the network.
One spread reads, “Like any married couple, they have their disagreements. But they always manage to kiss and make up — usually over a plate of milk and cookies.”
The book’s Amazon description adds that readers can “see the Clauses sitting by the fire at their cozy North Pole home, vacationing at the beach” as well as “celebrating their wedding day, and comforting each other when some loudmouth people on television angrily dispute Santa’s appearance and lifestyle.”
There’s also moments of “feeding the reindeer (organic gluten-free grains, of course),” “negotiating labor disputes with the restive workshop elves,” the description notes. Other issues such as health care coverage and climate change are in there, too, CNN noted.
i bet this got folks upset like shit.
i can imagine the passive aggression…
…but i have a question:
Why is the focus on Santa’s white husband?
the husband isn’t the star.
we barely recognize mrs. clause on some real shit.
well one of things about art is it can be interrupted in many ways.
for instance,
superheros.
they have been so many different ways one superhero is represented.
batman has been chopped and screwed in various ways,
different actors,
and all kinds of “beginnings”.
there are many ways to tell a story.
this switch up of santa didn’t come without opinions:
“I’m a gay man and honestly the book is pretty patronizing and obviously meant to take two sweet things, the image of Santa Claus and love between two adults, and use them as a tool to express a political opinion in a polarizing way (especially the news anchor scene) in the guise of a children’s book,” wrote one customer on Amazon, according to CNN, although that review wasn’t on the site Thursday.
That same customer added, “I’m a little disgusted that the authors obviously used homosexuality as a political weapon to make a political statement under the cover of children.”
i wonder…
Is it because Santa is black?
i mean that was my first thought about it.
either way,
you can check out “santa’s husband”: here
article cc: the blaze
I don’t care that they put IR relationships in certain things but it seems to be the norm now to show black or poc folks in interracial relationships and celebrate that more than intraracial relationships.
Like I prefer watching gay black web shows over us in tv/movies because most of the time we are either single and unhappy w/ other own or happily married and w/ children in IR relationships.
It’s cool that they did this book but also why couldn’t santa’s husband be also black like do they feel like IR are more accepted and easier for folks to digest instead of Intraracial relationships?
Why is he with White Santa you say? Oh maybe because White people in general can’t stand to see a black space without white people infiltrating it.
They do the same thing when they ask why does BET exist, when “black love” is celebrated, why there are HBCU’s, when “black excellence” is celebrated or when “Black Lives Matter” is said, why there are black only cast films (Black Panther), why we only say the N WORD etc.
White people hate when it’s not about them or not for them. Despite the fact that we live in a Eurocentric world where it’s primarily about them. Colonialism & White Supremacy is a MF. There is your answer.
I for one don’t care for IR relationships or the way they are glamorized & fetishized over same race relationships, but I’m not here to tell anyone who to sleep with.
I don’t believe in a “gay agenda” fully..if it is true, then the “straight agenda” has always been in place and here a lot longer.
First of all, we need too stop feeding kids these lies to begin with. How can anyone get upset over a made up fat white man that comes into your home unannounced, knows when you’re being naughty or nice, makes a list and gives you gifts or a lump of black coal based on your yearly behavior. Might as well stick Harvey Weinstein in the chimeney and tell the kids too ask him for a contract when he finally makes his way down
That will make them think twice about being naughty or nice that year.
They can push as much interracial interactions as they want…I know I won’t be joining in on the 50s TV party. I don’t dislike white guys, I’m just not attracted to them sexually and interracial relationships are not just “black and white” but it’s all they like to plaster over the surface of everything.
This book is a controversial cash grab too appease the political erections that shadow over America’s exposed asses. A big ole fashioned Freedom F*ck You!
Personally, I think the whole Santa story is some bullshit you shouldn’t even be telling children to begin with. I’d be upfront with them. You act up, you don’t get shyt but if you do what you’re supposed to do and behave you will be rewarded for it.
Simple.
“I don’t believe in a “gay agenda” fully..if it is true, then the “straight agenda” has always been in place and here a lot longer.”
I agree with this part. My question is: who “doesn’t” have an agenda? I’ll wait.
People who believe (only) in the gay agenda without acknowledging every other agenda we’ve been inundated with since birth are just using that as a guise for their own anti-gay bias, or just so far down the rabbit hole that they’ve forgotten what anything outside of that hole looks like. It’s time to wake up people.
Has anyone noticed the emphasis placed on interracial relationships as of late? In media, in commercials, in print ads,etc. I want to know the author’s motivation to write a black Santa specifically being in a gay relationship with a white Santa.
I am a gay man, but people have been saying for a while that there is a “gay agenda” being pushed. I’m inclined to agree. You see more and more gay characters and while representation matters, I believe that the saturation we are seeing of same sex roles are political in nature. To what end, I don’t know. We exist and have existed since the beginning of time, but I don’t think conditioning the public to accept something they may not want to may be counterproductive.
Happy holidays to all.
^im starting to see that myself.
it’s almost like they’re trying to wash away blackness with all the biracial relations being highlighted too.
ive even heard trying to replace vixens with the sudden rush for trans vixens too.
i wonder how this will all work it net neutrality comes into play.
i can imagine many will drop the internet and that spell will be broken?
happy holidays to you as well f&s!
Honestly he can go to hell with this book. When do kids even think about relationship matter fact people still feed this damn kids lies with this Santa Claus bullshit. Just burn the damn book.
^lmao okay so kb isn’t a fan.
like,
at all.
