"Jingle Bells" Is Racist? Only in Academia
Hat tip The College Fix
It’s time for our annual dose of “Bah! Humbug!” Not from Ebeneezer Scrooge, but from Boston University professor Kyna Hamill, who thinks that the tune, Jingle Bells, is racist.

“The traces of blackface minstrel origins can be found in the music and lyrics, as well as the “elements of ‘male display,’ boasting, and the unbridled behavior of the male body onstage,” the author wrote.”
Far be it from me to defend blackface, an unfortunate cultural icon from a time before I was born. Yet, I wonder how many songs were performed in blackface that we would now have to call “racist”.
