Me too. Politicizing Christmas. White guilt. Rich American shame. Wealthy selfishness. If you are a liberal, what’s not to love about the song. It is very self righteous.
I resent the implication that we have contempt for people in Africa and are doing nothing to help them and that their plight is somehow because of our plenty. It’s not a zero sum game.
I’m sure people like Angelina Jolie wallow in it, but when the song comes on my radio, I generally turn the sound down or change the station.
Concur, 100% mom oyp, lots of libs exploit guilt, etc. They are very effective at making conservatives look bad.
In this case, I think dozens of stars took a break in 1984 from making millions for themselves to make millions for the least of us. CGI and other phony charities exploit poor children, but BAND AID raised money for poor children with their God-given talent. If anything, CGI should make some Americans feel guilty, not a Christmas song.
Merry Christmas mom oyp and thanks for raising patriots.
