Critics Rip Rucker for Performing 'White Christmas' After Garner Decision
Breitbart ^ | 12/4/14 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 12/04/2014 8:50:09 AM PST by Old Yeller

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.

I wonder what they think of Christmas song done by Nat King Cole originally was written by another Jew Mel Torme LOL!

He wrote that song in middle of July during heat wave

Dear America,

Christians (many Americans are Christian) celebrate a religious holiday called Christmas at this time of the year.

You are welcome to join in the celebration, the doors are open to everyone.

If you are not Christian and/or not “religious” then simply feel free to take the day off from work, avail yourself of holiday decorations and general good will to all men, shop the sales, buy stuff for yourself or to give away, stuff your face, or just observe and be respectful, like you would do during a religious festival by any culture in any country, in or outside of America.

Merry Christmas.

If this offends you, seek help.
It is probably covered under obamacare.

Because outrage over “an innocent man” should always be answered by scaring “The Ghost of Christmas” out of “truly innocent children” and scarring them for life.

And beating on total strangers demonstrates love as well.

If that enough, there’s always the bonus round of destruction of other people’s property.

For even extra, extra credit, why not destroy as many businesses as possible, causing them to fail.

The really great outcome of that would the loss of jobs and broken dreams, whicb lead to unemployment.

Best part about being unemployed is not being able to make rent, pay their car payments, feed their children, clothe em and enjoy a nice Christmas.

Wonderful people and they really should be allowed to express themselves in whatever manner strikes them...

I think they will find burning down NYC is a much more difficult proposition.

Check me if I’m wrong, Sandy, but doesn’t the ‘white’ refer to the color of the snow? Yeesh, even precipitation is racist.

It was a fun thread on twitchy. Looks like pretty much every Motown group recorded White Christmas at some point.

Oh yeah? You think it’s a coincidence that “Black Friday” is the biggest shopping day before “White Christmas”?

Just the white man exploiting black people for their consumer dollars so he can have Christmas!

The left wins because they are not tethered by logic, reason, or facts.

And they are willing to keep running the ball and compile 1 yard gains over a period of years and decades.

You’re absolutely right on that. I remember when the whole “political correctness” phrase and awareness first became a big topic in the mid-to-late-1980s. Everybody was deriding it, as if it was some kind of joke, something that would never fly... something that was an idioticly hamfisted attempt by the left to further their aganda, which just couldn’t take hold in America. Because Americans were supposedly so independent and individualistic, and just too savvy to fall for such manipulation after seeing decades of the dangers of propaganda via the Nazis and Soviets and such.

Yet, the country fully and totally succumbed to PC insanity. And it has continued to compound itself ever since, with each passing year, pushing America into its current state of cowering fear over crossing any number of ludicrous demarcation lines dictated by the leftist thought-masters. Where even insanity like singing the old standard “White Christmas” is now apparently conveying racism.
