What color is he?
Don't get me wrong, I think the holidays should be celebrated for what they represent. I also have a child who was excited about "Santa." She knew the meaning of the holiday, but was also a child in a world where all this effort is made to sell things. This morning on the "View," Woopie had a sweater on with a Black Santa. I was so thrilled! I can't imaging what it would be like for any child of color to be seeing only a "white" Santa. What kind of message is that?!? If we are going to push "Santa," we should at least allow our children to see someone who represents them. So, thanks, Woopie! If I wore those seasonal sweaters, I would buy the Rainbow Santa, the Black Santa, the Brown, Tan, Female, whatever Santa who would represent us ALL! HO, HO, HO!!!!!!!
