Quick: If you had to pick one classic Christmas song that the thought police would deem racist, which would it be? If you said, “White Christmas,” congratulations!
The 82nd Annual Rockefeller Christmas Tree lighting last Wednesday was interrupted by protesters in the wake of the grand-jury decision to not indict an NYPD officer in the death of Eric Garner. The lighting went forward as planned, and Hootie & the Blowfish’s lead singer, Darius Rucker, sang Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas.”

God made global warming to eliminate “white” Christmas....

“Tolkien racist”. I can see the headline now. Oh. No I can’t. I don’t watch networthless news.
I seem to remember a cartoon from 1964 or so where three hooded Klansmen are caroling,
“I’m dreaming of a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant Christmaaaaas...”
My doctor advised me to go low carbs in my diet; no rice, bread, potatoes, sugar, etc. I said, “you want me to go on the Al Sharpton diet?”
“Which diet is that?”
“The one that says `white is not right’.” He laughed.
well, is it racist to like someone “because” of their color? because I love that guy who does the ea sports commercial. when he looks in the camera and says “to the crack of dawn” he’s a laugh riot and no white guy could be that funny.
We live in truly insane times when the word “White” itself sends a large chunk of the population into fits of rage.
Brought to you by the fertile mind(?) of ron (yes I’m a felon) karenga. Still think we ought to open a store called the “kwanzaa hut” and carry all the needed holiday fare.
I’m dreaming of a White Mistress.
“.... and may all your grandchildren be whiiiiiiite.”
the de whitification of Christmas continues..Much!
I remember Richard Pryor doing a routine on the Johnny Carson Show in which he played a black agitator who had trouble saying the word “white.” It would always come out as “wh-, wh-, whi-, wh-, white.”
Just ban the word, since we know that “white” always has some obvious or hidden racial overtones. Let’s use “blanco/blanca” instead. It fits the new demographics.
Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas.” makes them foam at the mouth.
Followed by another Irving Berlin song..”GOD BLESS AMERICA!” makes their heads explode!
Why does aspirin work?
It is long since happening in the public education halls controlled by professional professorial propagandists.
In 2004 I took a music history class taught by a Ph.D. who had done her doctoral thesis on Rap Music.
One day in lecture, she covered, as I recall, a libretto written by W.H. Auden. After class, I went forward and innocently mentioned that Auden had been a student of J.R.R. Tolkien. I then returned to my seat to collect my books.
As she went past me, on her way out, she abruptly turned to me without breaking stride, said, “Tolkien was a racist, you know!” in a clipped, angry tone, and kept on without giving me any opportunity whatsoever to make any response.
During that semester I endured her frequent racist comments about “white” males and their destruction of the self respect of the “black” males in America (which, according to her, completely justified their siring out of wedlock, and abandoning the mothers and offspring, e.g., the man who sired 78 children out of wedlock). I also endured her frequent threats about the consequences from her catching us in our likely “plagiarism” in our papers (something I did not do). (She conveniently never mentioned the established plagiarism of her hero, M.L. King, protected for decades by both academics and journalists - what I now call ‘academedia’.)
This woman veritably reeked of hatred for white males. Her hit-and-run attack was illustrative of the leftist’s cowardly insistence upon controlling both sides of a debate, and ruthless intent upon silencing all opponents.
I know Tolkien’s history and literature extremely well, and I can easily guess the pretexts she exploits to slander him as a “racist”; however, I know for a fact that when approached by persons who held such views, he spurned them.
Her pretexts would undoubtedly have included that Tolkien was an Afrikaner, that orcs were “black”, that the Southrons and Easterlings were bad guys, and that the story has a Eurocentric aura.
Tolkien was a world-class expert on Nordic myth: He wrote what he knew. The orcs were blackened because they were in origin elves who had been magically and physically tortured and perverted through many centuries. The Southrons and Easterlings were shown to be at times fearless and noble (more so, by the bye, than the “white male” Dunlendings who had been dispossessed by the Rohirrim), and Gandalf and others pitied their plight.
In my opinion, this woman, with her Rap doctorate, was not fit to speak the name of Tolkien, a decent, devout man who translated Beowulf and, in part, The Jerusalem Bible.
