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.

Am I sooo..not in the liberal political loop that when I read this headline I thought “what’s the big deal with ‘A White Christmas’” (this racial stuff isn’t even on my mind).

I know that DR has gone country, am I correct, but that should have nothing to do with this.

Maybe I am mistaken but I noticed NBC went all secular for the Rockefeller Center Christmas Lighting ceremony. The only religious song was Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus at the end as the end credit were rolling. Before NBC would throw in a few religious based Christmas songs but not anymore.

Has he groveled and apologized profusely yet? They won’t leave him alone until he does.

Seriously?

Does it bother them THAT much that Darius Rucker is a black man who has an actual career, and a life?

This obsession with Black/White is a mental illness.

“The lefties are losing it big time.”

Nope.

They are resolute, and relentless. I’ve watched so many stupid things get pushed, and each time I thought... “Those people are out of their minds. Who in their right mind would pay attention to them?”

And eventually, the stupid thing became mainstream and accepted.

The left wins because they are not tethered by logic, reason, or facts. Being proven wrong on something only serves to fuel their desire to push that particular point.

As a non-White, non-Black American this is beyond stupidity. What’s next will the psychotic lefties seek to ban the word “white” in public? If Black people want to continue this line of victimhood and idiot thinking then let them do it and the rest of us Americans of color will just pass them by without a tinge of guilt.

Even more reason for them to hate this song because we know how so many of these Black extremists just admire the Jewish people.
