White Christmas





The Drifters - White Christmas

Students of George Mason University were duped into signing a fake petition to abolish the festive classic White Christmas from radio stations because it is 'racist'. MRC-TV reporter Dan Joseph hit a campus with a clipboard to see how many students could be convinced the song is laced with micro-aggression.

He told passers-by that the lyrics are insulting to people of color because it 'perpetuates the idea that white is naturally good' and ignores 'other kinds of snow'. The song also fails to mention climate change, Joseph pointed out to students.

“Tell Local Radio Stations to Stop Playing the Song ‘White Christmas’ as it is Insulting to People of Color and Perpetuates the Idea That Being White is Automatically A Positive Attribute in Our Society,” the petition stated. The fake petition received 18 signatures in about an hour, according to MRCTV.

It happened in 2015. I wonder how many people would sign such petition (fake or not) today?

    Fake petition? How quaint. The 2020 version of this would see the local radio stations being firebombed and radio waves being deemed phenomena non grata until a regime is inaugurated enshrining true equality that acknowledges the past wrongs blah blah blah
