Fired MSNBC host Joy Reid played Grinch on social media this week, sharing a video claiming beloved Christmas anthem “Jingle Bells” was written “to make fun of black people.”
In the video she shared to her 1.3 million Instagram followers, a man in a Christmas sweater and Santa hat stands on the streets of Medford, Massachusetts near a plaque marks the site where James Lord Pierpont is believed to have penned the song in 1850.
He takes off his hat disapprovingly and scowls at the plaque, the video caption reading “this is where a racist Confederate soldier wrote ‘Jingle Bells’ to make fun of black people, and has its origins in bigoted minstrel shows that were popular at the time.

Snow is racist
Maybe “Silent Night” is racist.
= = =
And Christmas is in the Winter, with snow - WHITE SNOW!
There must be a lot of money to be made pitting races against each other. And there must be really hot part of hell reserved for them too.
Indeed.
Big time.
Exactly.
Union Bible Dictionary (1837): A musician or piper.
Matthew 9:23 and 2 Kings 3:15 — wow, those KJV translators (early 1600’s, I think even before Jamestown) really had it in for the blacks.
American Standard of Orthography and Pronunciation (1815): A musician.
Exactly how many blacks were anywhere near Medford in 1850?
Were they stupid enough to be outside in the snow and be laughed at while the idle rich raced by in their one-horse open sleighs?
So some idiot professor found an old book that said “Minstrel songs” and ran with it. Joy picked up on it.
This is what this stupid racist wants— attention. Don’t give her the time of day and she will fade away....
Joy does good enough on her own.
They have tested the water for "white" Hispanics. Perhaps they can just go by light absorption of the skin and go after lighter skinned "blacks" and just work it on down the line.
The goal is to destroy American culture completely, one piece at a time.
Not unlike "What happens if the Muslims actually wipe out Israel?"
Answer: The Shiites would immediately turn on the Sunnis.
I imagine the rap/ghetto perpetual victimhood types would turn on those who have morals and try to earn their living honestly.
But that will never happen due to already being outnumbered by Latino/Hispanics and how abortion-as-birth-control has kept their population artificially low.
Margaret Sanger's legacy of a plan coming together.
Can someone just shut these people up for good for once?
Joy, you’re so hateful. Would you please just retire and go away now? You haven’t said anything constructive in... Well ever.
Joy is appropriating white culture by speaking English.
Apparently it pays well...
"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." H. L. Mencken
