Vandals Destroy Inflatable Black Santa Claus; African-American Couple to Display New One

An Oregon family was shocked to discover that an inflatable black Santa Claus on their front lawn had been slashed by vandals just 24 hours after they put it on display, the Yahoo News website reports today (December 16, 2018).

Fritz and Belinda Richard, who are African-American, have lived in Bethany, Oregon for 21 years.

On December 12, Fritz Richard installed the 8-foot-tall Santa in their front yard, only to see it slashed several times 24 hours later.

The Richards plan to purchase a replacement Santa, and several of their neighbors said they also will purchase a black Santa in a move of solidarity.
