More race-baiting by the fascist government. Fascism is more or less when government and corporations come together. Meanwhile, they've got you distracted over shit like this.
(CNN) -- 'Twas two nights before Christmas, and I headed down to find Santa in Macy's flagship store in Herald Square, New York City -- the one famously known to be on 34th Street.
The blog Animal New York had reported that this store has a separate, "special" Santa who is black.
It's unclear how long this tradition has lasted, but one woman told CNN affiliate WCBS she's been taking her kids to see this special Santa for 10 years.
This year, however, there's special significance. Santa's race became the focal point of a debate sparked by Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly's comments that "Santa just is white."
So CNN wanted to see this "special" Santa for ourselves.
After seeking assistance from a helpful employee, I rode the escalators to the 8th floor and quickly found crowds of people and merry elves at the entrance to the North Pole.
There were no signs indicating any special, separate line or suggesting that you could have your picture taken with an African-American Santa.
"Is there a special Santa?" I asked one of the first elves I saw.
"We only have one," he responded. "Do you think the line would be this long if we had two?" Then the elf went back to spreading Christmas cheer to children in line.
I braced myself for the two-hour estimated wait.
At the entrance of the line, I asked another elf whether there was a "special" Santa I could see.
"There is a special Santa. He's black," she said. Everyone waits in the same line, so I would have to ask for him at the end, she said.

Shit happens. Shit always happens. Every frigging day. It was just that guys turn.
"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”
To be sure, I don't believe anything anyone says.

Far from distracted, I think it's good we have a black Santa. Why? Precicely because I don't give a shit.

That would be perfect for liberals. Wait, no, and gender neutral or transexual freak.
