1. Germans post from over a week ago? CHECK.

2. Blind link? CHECK.

3. Lazy OP doesn’t even provide background or comment. CHECK?

I don't know about that (in fact, she even said it wasn't), but this is not an unreasonable observation:
quote:

The legacy of ‘Jingle Bells’ is, as we shall see, a prime example of a common misreading of much popular music from the nineteenth century in which its blackface and racist origins have been subtly and systematically removed from its history
The Missouri Waltz is a good example. LINK

Who gives a shite? Everything in the past was “racist”

Changes were made. If you don’t like it and continue to whine i’ll Undo the changes, sing it in your face and tell you kindly to frick off.


If i’m going to be branded a “racist” for singing something as innocent as Jingle Bells, then i’m gonna get my money’s worth out of it.

Evidently you do. The person that wrote the paper explicitly said it wasn't racist now and people should not stop singing it. She was merely providing the history of the song. I like history and enjoy reading about it.

It's refreshing to hear someone on here say that.

Nah. It'd be easier to just "brand" you as someone with extremely poor reading comprehension.

Clearly, having Robin lay an egg supports transgender rights and zis relationship with Batman.

Expressly to try this smug, subtle “gotcha” in order to trigger white guilt idiot SJWs to overreact and try to get the song tossed or further neutered. I’m on to their games.

And it’s refreshing to see proggies like you are too stupid to understand the context of it as well.

Oh please don't disqualify me from the top 20 OT poster list. What do I have to do in order to have a chance at making that prestigious list?

I’m fine with this article

Just states the song originated in blackface minstrels

Interesting. Did not know that.
