...but most people absolutely love “Santa Larry.”

There’s a black Santa Claus at the Mall of America [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/of-america-black-santa_us_5840429de4b0c68e047f2695 ] in Minnesota, giving children of color a Kringle that looks like them at the nation’s biggest shopping destination.
Naturally, some people just can’t handle this, and racists are taking to social media to denounce Larry Jefferson-Gamble [ http://santadallastexas.com/ ], a retired U.S. Army veteran [ https://mic.com/articles/161140/mall-of-america-hires-its-first-black-santa-racists-of-the-internet-lose-it ] who has been playing Santa since he was 12 years old. 
The response has been so heated that the Minnesota Star-Tribune had to shut down the comments section for a simple profile of the mall’s first black Santa [ http://www.startribune.com/mall-of-america-welcomes-its-first-black-santa/404070096/ ].
A CBS Minnesota report was also swamped with negative and outright racist comments [ http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/11/30/black-santa-mall-of-america ], which were also shut down but are still visible in the article [ http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/11/30/black-santa-mall-of-america/#comments ].
