Thats ridiculous. If these people spent half the energy they spend on stupid nonsense like this and trying to ruin everything and got involved in politics or their community the country would be a better place.

No, but I am under the impression that many of the SJW folk are listeners of rap music. Also, while Eminem is white, Phresher, the second artist is not, and rap music is generally considered an African American style.

Cool, so this is all in your head and you're making giant leaps to make it work.

Also, having a blast watching people clutch their pearls and consider a song that isn't even about Christmas but a snow storm as vital to the Christmas experience.

What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

Whose crying? You're staking the state of our culture on the acceptance of a song that only has winter in common with Christmas as some sort of cultural battleline as if it signaled the collapse of civilization as we know it. Don't try to project your over reactions on others.

Look, if you guys want to construct an effigy that's fine. I don't have to take it seriously, though. You're going to have to find someone who is critiquing this lyrics who is also defending offensive rap lyrics. Then you can drag that person out of your imagination and tar and feather them to your hearts delight.

Who's constructing the effigy? Last I checked it ain't us getting butthurt over some 40's song. And I don't have to find anyone defending rap lyrics actually, the left's thin skinned whining over this song is enough to laugh at em.

Certain people/groups can't enjoy the holidays because they're too busy looking for things that offend them and try to get said, quote-unquote, "offensive" traditions removed, even if the offended party makes up about 0.0000001% of the total population of any given country.
And now comes the ban hammer because I stated something that is objectionably true and it offended someone, again.

Humans are monsters, we will never change, we will always want to claw out the throats of those with a difference in opinion, we will never be in an age of peace because of our lust for war, poverty will continue to exist as long as monetary needs exist. We rape, enslave, and conquer with no regards to others. We live by the sword, and we will, justifiably, die by the sword.

“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community. Then they were quickly silenced, but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It’s the invasion of the idiots.” - Umberto Eco.

Everyone has opinions. Nowadays everyone has the means to expose their opinions onto the greatest amount of people possible. You, still, however, have the right to not bother listening to or reading that opinion. Every Christmas the Anglo-Saxon world gets riled up over this and that yuletide controversy, when you can just... not.

A fag is a cigarette here, like in Britain, and would also be understood if used as a homophobic slur. A faggot isn't a cigarette, that's just a homophobic slur.
