Race Matters: Historian Says OG “Jingle Bells” Was Performed In Blackface At A Minstrel Show & Freezer Burnt MAGAs Are Furious
Professor Discovers Jingle Bells Is Rooted In Racism And White Folks Get Pissed
Yea, we know. Racism ruins EVERYTHING.
A theater historian professor came out to the press with her “Jingle Bells” discovery, revealing the coveted tune was originally performed in blackface by White men.
Kyna Hamill, a Boston university professor, explained in her “Theatre Survey” research paper the problematic history of “Jingle Bells.” The beloved Christmas tune, originally called “One Horse Open Sleigh,” was first performed in blackface, according to an 1857 playbill discovered by Hamill.
“As I mentioned in my article, the first documented performance of the song is in a blackface minstrel hall in Boston in 1857, the same year it was copyrighted,” Hamill told Fox News.
Oh well! Who is surprised that a traditional American holiday tune is rooted in racism?

MAGAs are actually upset at this professor’s finding, calling her a liar and befuddled at the historian for dismantling an American tradition. Hit the flip to see the mayo jar of emotions over racist Jingle Bells’ history.
Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh ! It's not racist. That professor is an idiot. The actors had black face because in the time, blacks weren't allowed to act. Because they sang it, doesn't make it racist.

A white female professor from Boston College is teaching students that Jingle Bells is a racist song. I hope all the parents spending ANY money for their kids to go to school there, know that their kids wont have a great future!

Just heard on @FoxNews that the song "Jingle Bells" is now being called a racist song. Liberals and Muslims have gone off the deep end again…it must be because they feel the walls moving in on them and they are desparate.
