Get ready for more cancellation.A University of Nevada-Reno lecturer’s had a change of heart.Or, at least, mind.For Nevada Today, university senior music lecturer Kate Pollard’s written of her “own anti-racist journey.”The result of her travels: She’s nixing songs she used to salute but now perceives as problematic.As it turns out, most all of you have dabbled in the depths of sinister songs while never knowing.But today’s a time for teaching.
Per her piece, Pollard was once like you.
When she began as a middle school teacher, Kate held to the songs upon which she’d grown up.

What a moron. Jingle Bells refers to sleigh bells, which I really doubt is a Southern thing. Do all these bimbos get brain infections from inhaling incense at Whole Foods or something?

FTA:slave owners used to put bells on slaves to keep track of them, which the jingle bells are referencing.
I was expecting 'Ante Bellum' to be the reason for canceling Jingle Bells. Nevertheless, Belgium is now off all European tour itineraries, and the Liberty Bell must be disposed of ASAP.

They really ARE totally insane, in addition to being black supremacists.

The United States has become a magnet for lecture-bent Scoldilocks, it seems. Don't stand there bleeding on my rug; get OUT!

Insane.
“Jingle Bells,” refers to holiday bells on a harness connected to a horse-drawn sleigh.
If bells were attached to slaves— and in practical terms that seems highly unlikely, however supported by the research— a connection between the two applications seems—ah— TENUOUS at best.
Ludicrous— as if the sash cord of an overhead garage door were slip-knotted, and suddenly the FBI was called in because of its resemblance to a noose used for lynching ...oh, wait...

These woke dipwads must be trying to put The Onion out of business by making its stories sound more like tragic reality than satire. And it's gone beyond hilariously mistaken, to infuriatingly idiotic.

I can't reconcile the image of a horse drawn sleigh dashing through the snow on a southern plantation. Were the slaves picking snowballs?

Yet another feckless academic who magically is able to find the racist intent and secret code words that normal people don't see. Even when it is pointed out to us, no matter how hard we look we still can't see the racism. Only crazy liberals, academics, and activists are apparently enlightening enough to be able to decode and see the racism in everything.

Liberal racism warriors must be the most unhappy people in the world . Imagine seeing everything through the single lense skin color. They take all of the fun out of life.

I call "Lie" on the claim that #4 is referring to.
Jingle Bells is about the bells put on a horse's harness to make a pleasant sound when pulling a sleigh in the snow.
They are such stupid, uninformed, misinformed, disinformed fools.

We are an ignorant nation.
Today, I would be more apt to send the kids to a trade school than an Ivy League bastion of H-ll.

". . . Oh, what fun it is to ride on a one-horse open sleigh!"
There were no African slaves pulling that sleigh. It's called a "one-horse" sleigh because a horse pulls it, you useless dolt!

She can cancel whatever she wants for herself; she does not get the right or authority to cancel Jingle Bells for the rest of US. I'm tired of being lectured and governed by idiots who shouldn't be running lemonade stands much less a country or a culture.

So, using this logic, was Art Bell murdered by BLM?

This is fast becoming the French Revolution 2021 style.......sooner or later these cancel culture clowns will end up like their purity predecessors, in an Ox Cart heading for a rendezvous with Dr Guillotines wondrous invention.

So to be safe we drop the vocals. The problem's in the lyrics. Instrumental music only like Beethoven's 5th. oops that's racist too because rumor has it he was white. Where did all the sane people go ?

I don't if anyone here has been watching the History Channel shows on the Food that built America but it has been an interesting series on Heinz, Lays, Hershey,etc. Anyway, last night's episode was a new one on the Good Humor Ice Cream company and a competitor who invented the popsicle. All good so far until the ending of the show when they had on some rapper who said he was hired by the GH Co. to write a new jungle as the old Good Humor jingle was racist. I kid you not. Well, another show/series I will be cancelling.
