http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/12/15/jingle-bells-rooted-in-racism-boston-university-professor-says.html “Jingle Bells,” one of the most well-known Christmas carols in the world, is now being called racist. A Boston University theater professor claims the Christmas carol has a “problematic history” because it was originally performed to make fun of African Americans. “The legacy of ‘Jingle Bells’ is one where its blackface and racist origins have been subtly and systematically removed from its history,” Kyna Hamill, a BU theater historian, wrote in her “Theatre Survey” research paper on the story of “Jingle Bells.” |

I told ya this war on Christmas is real. Leftists do this every year. Their salami slicing method will leave this country without a Christmas holiday 30 years from now. I give it a year or two until leftists demand that we ban the song White Christmas.

We should create a holiday tax, so the government distributes presents to the good disenfranchised minorities. Leftists would love Christmas then. |

So Christ chose to offer his kindness, compassion and charity for the needy and sick based on their 'politics'? |

The funny part is the hypocrisy of those who get offended by someone else's opinion:
That looks like something our philly rabbit would write. 'How dare you offend me by being offended by something I like?' Buck up, snowflakes. If you ignore them, they can't hurt you

Ok this is friggin absurd. I can't even begin to fanthom the stupidity of someone who put in time, effort, and probably someone else's money to put together research backing up this opinion. It's "Jingle Bells" for Gods's sake... |

Santa Clause , or Father Christmas, comes from Odin, who was a vengeful God. Vengeance is often called for in winter. |
