Honestly, Orlando, Florida IS a weird place for a black Santa Claus to hang his hat...
WE GOING

With Black Santa now appearing in Disney parks, there's a whole new demographic of customers who will be looking to make a holiday season appearance there.
Low Repayment Rate
DISNEY: For the first time in its 66 year history Walt Disney theme parks (the company made $69 Billion last year--yes BILLION!) will feature African American Santa Clauses. (How much money have they made over the past SIX DECADES from black people?)... pic.twitter.com/SxobuVQpAU

That's some pretty stark math when you really look at it...
Opps Is Coming
They'll sue Disney for having black Santa Clauses.

This is sad because it's probably true. Culture wars never rest. Not anymore.
Nothing New to Me...
Black Santa 🎅🏾 isn’t new to me but new to the folks @disney https://t.co/4u9PXW2zKY

Some people have made Black Santa Claus a part of their holiday rituals for years now...
Next Day Sales?!
Disney world has a Black Santa Claus greeting them at the entrance. When Macy's in New York had a Black Santa, many parents brought their kids back to see the non chocolate 🎅 Santa. Maybe this is a marketing ploy by Disney to get people to come back the next day.

This seems... a little paranoid. (Or IS IT?...)
Disney Does Diversity
People complaining about Black Santa in Disneyland would be amazed at Disney’s 1995 Cinderella starring @WhoopiGoldberg & Jason Alexander

Give credit where credit's (been) due. Disney made singer Brandy a live-action black princess back in the '90s (see: Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella). They've been trying!
