In a new ad for the charity, Santa is a third-world-hating Grinch. The video shows St. Nick in his workshop as he opens a box of Christmas presents, which, much to his disdain, includes medication headed for a country “like Africa.”
He scoffs and says, “I don’t do poor countries.”
The ad, which is meant to illustrate that UNICEF brings necessary items to poor countries, turns Santa into a villain.
Because Santa said; “things like this go to poor kids like in Africa”. Now all my friends that I know that were BORN in Africa (South Africa/Rhodesia) are actually white.
I agree with the OP. . .UNICEF = globalists agenda.
I know, I think we all agree that when the UNICEF Santa said “Africa”, he was refering too black people.
That is how I read the OP’s title too.
I was just pointing out that when UNICEF and others throw out “Africa” more often than not they only referance black Africans when there are white Africans as well. Technically speaking Egyptians, Libyians, et al. are brown “Africans”.
To be fair, Santa’s kinda tough on a lot of folks these days. If you’ll think back a little, he doesn’t like all those red states in “Dumbfuckistan” either because, well, like he said, “Trailer parks don’t have chimneys anyway!” :jester:
I was just pointing out that RACE wasn’t even mentioned.
When i think of AFRICA i think of the news lately and the need for medical HELP in Egypt, and Libya.
(Egypt had over 23.7 million people in 2008 and now well over 80,810,912 many of those “poor” and considered 3rd world)
Again i still do NOT see RACE ANYWHERE in that video or blog.
I’m going to click HIDE on this topic but it’s SAD to sign on only days before christmas and read that santa doesn’t like my family just because some of them are black.
But marry christmas to everyone and peace on earth.
I think the Swedish UNICEF ad amounts to another glaring example of “good idea [i.e. drawing attention to the vast numbers of children in need who either don’t celebrate Christmas or have no cultural connection to the Santa Claus tradition] but dreadful execution,” particularly when viewed by an American audience.
Attempting to solicit donations from folks by disparaging their holiday traditions seems a tad ill-advised and counterproductive.
