Snow is white. That makes it racist against blacks.
Snowflakes are six sided, that makes it anti-Islam/anti-Arab.
Snow accumulates. That makes it insulting to the poor.
Snow is pretty. That makes it disparaging of the homely.
Snow is silent. That mocks the deaf and the mute.
Snow melts and runs away. It defies the brave.

I am sure there is enough snow hate to touch everyone.

Damnable evil, despicable snow!

Nothing these safe-space assholes do, or say, can surprise me any longer.

I believe they stay up nights dreaming up this nonsensical bull shit. Of course while safely ensconced in their safe space.

What the hell ever happened to the concept that if one is a "teacher" the first requirement is that that person actually know more than those being taught?

So if she's to be believed, it was originally written for minstrel shows performed in blackface and provided a backdrop for humor based on black people reacting to unfamiliar situations.

But now, she says, that's no longer the case.

So....if it was racist, it's no longer racist, according to her own research.

Heaven forbid people take something with a dark history and turn it into something positive...

Weren't they just celebrating someone who was trying to 'take back' the swastika and make it a symbol of love and peace?

Well, I'm certainly dreaming of a White Christmas.

I'm dreaming of a... neutrally hued multi-diversified... Christmas...

Just like the ones we used to know...



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I actually heard a discussion on this on the radio the other day. The lyrics are founded in the practice of young men racing single person cutters in the winter for fun and competition. It had nothing to do with Christmas or any holiday.

Maybe this idiot was listening to John Valby's Christmas songs by accident.

His version of White Christmas is my personal favorite. It has the distinction of being both sexist and racist.
