Naw, I like Yogi Jorgenson’s “I Yust go nuts at Christmas” along with “Yingle Bells.”

A minstrel show? Sure? It was a popular show at the time...

Should we ban EVERYTHING that was shown at a minstrel show?

I wonder if her son sits to pee and talks with a lisp. The woke lady might keep him (her, it) away from the stores the last few months!

Lady if Christmas offends you, try North Korea. I see that they don't celebrate Christmas...

Hmm...Noah Webster’s dictionary of 1830 defined minstrel as “a singer and musical performer on instruments.” - nothing necessarily racial about it.

The earliest cite in google books I could find was 1876.
https://www.google.com/books/edition/Carmina_Collegensia/860QAAAAYAAJ

which put it in a section called “Serenades, Glees, and Minstrel Songs.”

So if this is the same source, how did she know whether it was a serenade, a glee, or a minstrel song, and did minstrel song mean the same in 1857 as it does today?

Van Johnson, not Sammy Davis Jr., played The Minstrel in Batman (1966).

The problem is white people don’t fight back.

They just move somewhere else and hope the problems don’t follow them there.

The answer of course is to fight back and stop this nonsense in its tracks. Unfortunately we don’t have a political party that will do it.
