Podcasts about black santa

This Vermont Conversation was originally published on Nov. 23, 2022.Santa Claus is coming to town. But the person shimmying down the chimney may not be the rotund, bearded white man who has long played the role of St. Nick.“Santa Camp” is a new documentary from HBO Max about an effort to diversify who represents Santa Claus. The story begins at the annual summer camp of the New England Santa Society, which represents more than 100 Christmas performers. The Santas realized that they need to look more like some of the communities that they serve. So they welcomed three new Santas: Chris Kennedy, a Black Santa from Arkansas; Levi Truex, aka Trans Santa, from Chicago; and “Santa Fin” Ciappara, a Santa with spina bifida who communicates via an iPad, joined by his mother Suki Ciappara, both from Barre.Santa Fin always dreamed of being Santa in a parade. The movie captures the day in December 2021 when his dream came true and he sat in a sled pulled by elves in the River of Light parade in Waterbury. “Believe in your dreams and don't give up,” he said. "Be kind to people who are different."For some, diversity is a threat. Kennedy set up an illuminated, inflatable Black Santa Claus display in his yard. Soon after, he received a racist letter. That motivated him to become Black Santa. “You're not going to steal my joy,” he told The Vermont Conversation. "I'm appealing to families who want diversity and want to see themselves represented or their adoptive kids want to see themselves represented. That's what I'm here for. I'm not here for the naysayers,” Kennedy said said.The documentary showed the “Proud Boys” protesting Trans Santa Levi Truex outside the Chicago church where he was greeting children last year. Truex talked about violence directed against LGBTQ+ people, which continues to rise. The FBI reported that 2023 was the second year in a row that more than 1 in 5 of all hate crimes were motivated by anti-LGBTQ+ bias.“We've always experienced hate. It's what makes us resilient. It's what makes us get louder and push harder,” he said. “The more that we feel the pressure from the hate, the more we're just going to be even more visible and more open. It's just what needs to happen.”Truex believes that Trans Santa makes a difference, especially for the LGBTQ+ children who visit him. “I don't have an agenda to make your kids trans or whatever. My agenda is purely to spread joy and just be a good person, to be a good human. And to treat people with respect and dignity and just spread the love of Christmas,” he said.

Keris recorded this podcast on Christmas and shares a Christmas memory from her childhood. She shares the struggles people have during the holiday season and the magic of a picture she saw of a Black Santa when she was young. Keris remembers the sacrifices her dad made and she wants you to know that it gets better. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now: 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

[SEGMENT 2-1] Christmas plot 1 Christmas week. What are your plans. Thanks for listening to my show. Hopefully you have the whole family gathered around your phone or computer and you're all listening to Black Santa espouse his political views? I can picture it now. I hope you are with people you love right now or on your way to them. Know how much I care about you all… What I find wild is that even in this time of reflection for most, there are people, ok DEMOCRATS who plot against the country. Imagine being so devious you try to steal money from people, and slip in legislation that allows you to be a known criminal, and the public can do nothing about it. Laws exist now that protect legislators from things that would be crimes for us. And they want MORE! More money and more power. And their rationale is that the peons are living better than most of the citizens of the world, so what another $100 per person matter, or $500 per person… it's amortized over a year. They nickel and dime us to death, and then we get the added tax of inflation. https://www.pgpf.org/programs-and-projects/fiscal-policy/monthly-interest-tracker-national-debt/ $104,497 per person, $266,275 per household…we paid $882B of interest on the debt this year.                                                                                                                       [SEGMENT 2-2] Christmas plot 2 What's ahead for the new year? Well, I know that we are all exuberant, excited about the possibilities of 2025. What role will you play? Is your job over, now that we won the last election? Are you taking a big sigh of relief?! Well stop! There is no relief. Merry Christmas, now back to work!   I ask again, how could anybody not want Elon Musk to look over your organization? I can only think of one guy not wanting this, and that's Jeff Bezos. And frankly, I don't think Bezos would pass up working with Elon Musk. But if Bezos did reject Musk, he'd be the only person who wouldn't want Elon to have a look-see at their organization. Democrats are plotting against Musk as I write this. Look at all the things that Musk solved that Democrats hold near and dear, and yet they plot against him. When I tell you, there is no satisfying Leftists…I GIVE YOU ELON!   Musk exposes inefficiency wherever he goes, so naturally, bureaucrats are sweating. Remember, this is the guy who lands rockets backward and made EVs cool, yet Democrats label him as some existential threat. Headlines scream nonsense like, “Musk backs neo-Nazis” or “Trump taking orders from Elon.” Really? That's your angle? Here's the truth: every great Musk innovation has been met with Leftist skepticism. “He can't do that,” they said. Then he did it—better, faster, and with fewer subsidies than any Democrat-backed boondoggle.[SEGMENT 2-3] Christmas plot 3 - Biden in Review   If Democrats tell the story, Biden was a great president. So what they killed his potential for a second term, that just business. America's Lump of Coal Presidency: A Retrospective on Biden's Policies and Personnel After four years of enduring this administration's bungling, America is ready for a reboot. The excitement around bringing back strong, decisive leadership is palpable. Polls show a yearning for policies that prioritize economic growth, border security, and international respect—not to mention a cabinet that doesn't moonlight as a reality TV cast.   [X] SB – Canadian on Trump v Trudeau US biggest economic and super power the world has seen Strong and fresh mandate Very powerful negotiator     . Thankfully, America seems ready to move on, but let's revisit the "highlights" we're happy to leave behind. 1. Inflation: From Transitory to Titanic Santa didn't leave gifts over the last year, instead he robbed us. Yes, Santa was caught on camera not delivering gifts but stealing them. At least that's what it feels like. Remember when inflation was dismissed as "transitory"? Turns out, it was about as transitory as a fruitcake—no one wanted it, and it stuck around far too long. The Biden administration's war on energy independence and reckless spending ensured that everything from gas to groceries came with a premium price tag. Americans didn't just tighten their belts; they cinched them into corsets. 2. Border Policy: Open for Chaos The southern border's open-door policy made Black Friday crowds look tame. We half-expected to see a "Welcome" mat and complimentary eggnog for all entrants, that's if you can find egg nog given our supply-chain issues which will be discussed later. Millions of illegals crossing under policies that made "catch and release" sound like a fishing tournament, except our fish were drug traffickers, sex traffickers, and terrorists. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas assured us the border was "secure, such a blatant lie I can only imagine Biden's team high-fiving each other after hearing it. Things were so bad on this issue, a Texas border town with 90% Mexicans voted for Trump over 85%. 3. Afghanistan: The Art of the Un-Deal The withdrawal from Afghanistan wasn't just a debacle—it was an international humiliation. President Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin orchestrated a chaotic exit that abandoned American citizens, allies, and billions in military equipment. The world watched as Taliban militants gleefully took victory laps in U.S. helicopters, making it clear that the so-called “adults in the room” weren't even playing the same game. 4. Transportation Troubles When supply chain issues ground the economy to a halt, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was, quite literally, nowhere to be found. On extended paternity leave during a crisis, Buttigieg's absence became symbolic of the administration's approach: absent leadership, delayed solutions, and priorities utterly detached from reality. Empty shelves became the new normal, making us nostalgic for the days when toilet paper was plentiful. Who knew that "just in time" would turn into "maybe next month"?  [SEGMENT 2-4] Christmas plot 4   The US shot down our own F-18. Did you see this story. I joked that the Chinese ordered Biden to do it, as they were gambling in Beijing on whether Xi could get him to do it. Either that or they found another Hunter Biden laptop and decided to have a bit of fun with their puppet. On top of this, we learned that Biden's military doesn't know how many soldiers are in Syria: [X] SB – Defense Spox on number of troops in Syria I'm not surprised given Biden's Secretary of Defense, oh what's his name?   [X] SB – Biden can't remember Secy of Defense name   You remember him, the 2nd highest ranking military man who went AWOL [X] SB – Doocy on Austin   We are days away from ridding ourselves of the worst president in American history, and undoubtedly the worst generation of freaks ever assembled in government. And we get more revelations about Biden's incompetence and inability to function: https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1870480551171518760   REPORT: Biden made military families of troops k*lled in Afghanistan wait three hours while he “napped” on Air Force One on the tarmac, according to the Daily Mail. According to family members who spoke to the outlet, Biden “couldn't pull it together.” “[Biden] made us wait an extra three hours to receive the bodies of our de*d family members because he couldn't pull it together,” sister of Rylee McCollum, Roice said. Roice added that a military officer told her that Biden was napping on the plane. “Roice said she and others were waiting for Biden to appear when a military officer told her he was napping on his plane,” the Daily Mail reported. “We sat in that office for what seemed like an eternity waiting on the doddering old fool,” said the father of the father of Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
