You're the one who freaked out over black merchandise and came home and made a thread about it. What. You don't black merchandise to be sold?! You clearly hate black people.





I have zero problem with black Santas, black nutcrackers.


Actual quote from my post. Guess you didn’t read it all and just assumed, not surprised.

I read it, it's passive aggressive. "Let me say something racist and then right after say I'm not racist." The proof is you making the thread, because you do have a problem with it. If you didn't, you wouldn't have made the thread. If I didn't post, the anti black Xmas conversation would have continued.

So because I don’t like a black christmas tree and ornaments I’m racist. That’s funny. 🤣
You do know I’m not white right?

Are you for real?

Black xmas trees and ornaments this year are because of the runaway popularity of Wednesday on Netflix.... you know the little goth girl from the Addams Family?

Sheesh....

Every single little girl 5-13 that trick or treated this year was dressed up as Wednesday Addams.

Like little clones. It was kinda scary like one of the movies, cant think of the name....

But the black population has Kwanzaa...so...there should be no black santa, right?

For those here who would like a Black "glam" Christmas tree here is a video in how to decorate it, yes silver and gold can be put together. Who would have thunk it? Now we have "glam look".

Then went to another store……… an overstock type of store. Lots and lots of Christmas decor, and guess what they were filled to the brim with? Black Santas! Again, no problem with Black Santas and think if I were a black person, it would be cute to decorate with, but I’m not, and neither are the 99.9% of my neighbors.



Wouldn't a Black Santa be cultural appropriation?

I'm offended. Not gay or trans or Chinese enough.
There's also no Gender Fluid flag on the wheelchair.
Cancel Black Wheelchair Santa!

PROBLEMATIC! TOXIC! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!111


When everything is expected to represent everything at once,
it becomes impossible for anything to be anything.

Also, what happens when the "need" for inclusion officially crosses over into hobbies and interests? It sort of already has,
but when it goes any further?


"Hey, I love fishing! There are no fishing pole Santas in this store! I'm outraged!"

"Hey, I'm into BDSM! Where's the slave Santa!"

"There was a product recall over the use of the word 'slave'."

"Oh, a black person complained?"

"No, some white girls on Tumblr."

*Manager overhears*

"HEY, Candace! I KNOW you didn't just assume the Tumblr group's genders! Get back to unloading that shipment of gender fluid or you're fired!"

"Oh, you guys sell gender fluid now? Nice. I've been looking all over for blinker fluid. You have that too?"

Lets me say it for a millionth time before our traditionals jump in to say their yearly speech.

You know things like the Christmas tree, Easter Bunny, 25th Dec, Yule log, Mistletoe, singing carols, Bla bla bla...


For Christmas or do we call it Xmas now...wait Winter Holidays... There are two parts in which we have the religious side and then we have the consumer side. so it seems they push what sells.

I saw a baby outfit that said “cuter than Cupid”
Hanging in target right next to the Halloween and Christmas clothes.

They’re getting it all out there at once apparently.

Halloween decor has become hugely popular, and
not just the jack o lantern and sheets ghosts anymore.

People go all in with black pumpkins, gold tops and
dark themed gothic trees, etc.

Hard to say if retailers are just following trends,
or if they are creating trends?

Maybe some of both.
