FYI, the professor is a caucasian woman.

'Jingle Bells' rooted in racism, Boston University professor says | Fox News

Quote:
“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 lady explains the best

A Boston University theater professor...Oh I'm sure she's an expert on history and racism. Just another deluded liberal suffering from self inflicted white guilt.

If they call every song, dance style, play, or joke performed once upon a time by someone in blackface racist, they might just decimate the history of entertainment.

The leader of the KKK could sing Happy Birthday... that doesn't make that a racist song either.

So silly. This silliness detracts from real problems and makes a mockery of what actually goes on.

I have no problem saying that I disagree with her and also find this kind of "research" from universities to be ridiculous.

I was going to ask what websites you guys go to where you can continually fuel your outrage machine. Then I saw that it was the original outrage aggregator, faux news.
Who cares.
