First Ever Black Santa Takes Wishes from Kids at Mall of America

Description

Larry Jefferson, a retired US army veteran from Texas, became the first African American Santa Claus hired by the Mall of America in its 24-year history. The black Father Christmas took photos with both nice and naughty tots in the largest shopping mall in the US, located in Bloomington, Minnesota. Jefferson signed a four-day contract to work exclusively for the Santa Experience studio located in the nation's biggest shopping centre and finished his last day as Santa on Sunday. The event did stir plenty of controversy online. A popular Minneapolis daily newspaper and website called the Star Tribune had to shut down its comment section attached to an article on the topic due to influx of racist posts. Larry stayed merry and in good cheer despite the barrage of negativity - he had a simple and effective trick to brush off the haters. The lines to see the first black Santa at the Mall of America were long and the kids left happy. What do you think about Larry Jefferson's Santa Claus?
