Boston Professor Proclaims ‘Jingle Bells’ a ‘Racist’ Song

Boston Professor Proclaims ‘Jingle Bells’ a ‘Racist’ Song
 

by Warner Todd Huston14 Dec 2017Medford, MA3,691
A professor at Boston University has proclaimed Christmas carol favorite “Jingle Bells” to be a “racist song” and is urging people to shun the jaunty tune.

Kyna Hamill, a theater history professor at Boston University, recently told the Boston Globe that the venerable Christmas song has a “secret” racist past that has been “systematically” hidden from Americans as they celebrate the Christmas season.

This professor does not really believe Jingle Bells is a racist song

These people make these outrageous statements because they know somebody will notice them and write about it

LOL!  What next will the crazy Left go after?  How about America's favorite Christmas movie Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, where our most favorite Canadian Yukon Cornelius packs a gun.

I don't know if there is any truth to her story of the origin of the song. I never heard of it, or any AMERICAN that enjoyed the Holiday classic. But if we now think of blackface minstrels when we hear the song, it's her fault not the song writter.

If you listen to the full lyrics, it's not a Christmas song at all.  It's a rather racy song for the time it was written, about young people racing the "sports car" of the time and taking ladies out for some fun.

Was it sometimes performed in blackface by minstrel acts? Perhaps. But that's the acts, not the song.

She just hates the man who wrote it.

I just went to Wikipedia to get the origins of the song. There's nothing at all mentioned about racist origins for the song. It was supposedly meant for Thanksgiving but got connected with Christmas.
The professor is totally full of fecal matter.

Wrong song, professor should have used Bing Crosby's "White Christmas."

No kidding!  Why go to college for applied theater arts?  Is that really what college is for?

As of last year, Ms. Hamill hadn't come up with her racism theory:  BU Today: “Jingle Bells” History Takes Surprising Turn. That it may have been performed in a minstrel hall means absolutely nothing.

But it gives this lovely lady some attention, which I suspect is all she wanted.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
