Critics Rip Rucker for Performing 'White Christmas' After Garner Decision
Breitbart ^ | 12/4/14 | Joel B. Pollak

Social media lit up Wednesday evening with complaints about former Hootie & the Blowfish lead singer Darius Rucker performing "White Christmas" at the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at New York City's Rockefeller Square. Some activists had threatened to attack the ceremony after a grand jury declined to indict a New York police officer in the death of unarmed Eric Garner during a confrontation over cigarette sales in July.

“And they are willing to keep running the ball and compile 1 yard gains over a period of years and decades. “

Exactly!

They are playing the long game, and will sacrifice whatever is necessary to keep pushing their agenda.

Yes God Bless Irving Berlin who wrote “White Christmas” despite the heartbreak of his only infant son dying of SIDS on Christmas day

Once his daughters were grown, the Berlin family never again celebrated Christmas day

Contrary to popular belief, there was a time when blacks didn't hate America.

The Temptations - White Christmas

There are several volcanoes erupting around the world. Those that are offended are welcome to stand at the base of them and sing how much they like a black Christmas.

We must complain to God, I guess, for making snow white rather than some other color!

His original faith was Judaism... he gladly joined with America in the secular aspects of Christian festivals but I’m not sure what his attitude ended up to be... an agnostic, maybe....

I actually caught a bit of the show last night on accident (left over from morning news). His performance was very good. What sad is I did wonder if this would pop up today. /sigh

So to protest excessive police violence on a minor criminal, they’ll perpetrate violence on innocent people at a Christmas event.
That’ll generate a lot of hate for their cause - against them.

I wonder what they think of Christmas song done by Nat King Cole originally was written by another Jew Mel Torme LOL!

"This is NOT Mel Torme."

Yeah, and yet the Jews probably did more for the blacks than any other group of white people.

You’re better off doing nothing for nobody.

“He wrote that song in middle of July during heat wave”

HA! I did not know that. And Irving Berlin wrote “White Christmas” while sitting by a swimming pool in California or someplace.

There’s actually an intro verse that tells about that, only a few very versions include that.
