College Students Sign ‘Petition’ to Ban ‘White Christmas’ Because It’s Racist

by KATHERINE TIMPF December 22, 2015

In “Getting Hard to Tell Satire from Reality” News: A group of college kids actually signed a fake petition demanding that the song “White Christmas” be banned from radio stations because it’s racist. In a how-bad-has-it-gotten experiment, conservative MRCTV reporter Dan Joseph took the seemingly ridiculous petition to a college campus (Joseph doesn’t name which campus in the video, but George Mason University signage can be seen in the background of at least one of the shots) to see how many students would sign it.

“Tell Local Radio Stations to Stop Playing the Song ‘White Christmas’ as it is Insulting to People of Color and Perpetuates the Idea That Being White is Automatically A Positive Attribute in Our Society,” the petition stated. The fake petition received 18 signatures in about an hour, according to MRCTV. While students were signing the petition, Joseph made comments such as calling the song a “microaggression” and saying that he preferred “racially ambiguous” Christmases.

MICROAGGRESSION! DON’T SAY AND SING ANYTHING THAT MAY POSSIBLY HURT THE FEELINGS OF NON-CHRISTIANS

I am not enamored of the cold, love to look at snow but be in it, but the last thing I want to think about is black, red, brown or yellow snow!

Maybe they would prefer Frank Zappa’s - Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow as a song of the season.

George Mason used to be a fairly conservative campus. Now it has a bunch of hardcore leftist professors and stupid rich kids wrecking it.

The noise you hear is George Mason barfing in his grave.

Can I sign a petition to mandate the playing of the first verse?

The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
I've never seen such a day in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the 24th and I am longing to be up North

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...

“I’m dreaming of a crystallized water droplet religious holiday” ??? I saw this coming, but didn’t think it would arrive as quick as it did. What is next the White House, in rainbow colors? White Chocolate and every other thing white will be cream? Idiocracy is Now! Forget President Camacho, we’re already passed that point.

You may have picked up on something. Maybe, Obama, a predominately white man, is a racist because he openly lives in a structure termed the White House and has never acknowledged the racism that be clear evidence of so-called white privileged.

So white noise will now be considered an insult.

Dont let the airlines use white flight.

Of course get offended when someone this Christmas says white elephant.

Libs would really benefit from pulling the massive collections of sticks out of their asses.

Da honky students need to ban themselves. They’re WHITE too. Therefore, they are “rasis”.
