DID YOU SEE THIS FOR FARKS SAKE !!!!
Then evidently Al Jolson was racist and so on and so forth. BULL

A Boston University professor is defending her controversial research that uncovered racist origins in the beloved Christmas song “Jingle Bells,” blaming the media for trying to “rile people up at this time of year.”

Kyna Hamill, a lecturer at BU’s core curriculum and theater programs, traced the history of “Jingle Bells,” initially to try to settle the rivalry between Medford and Savannah, Ga. — the two cities that claim to be the birthplace of the iconic Christmas tune.



Her research found “Jingle Bells” was first performed in blackface in a minstrel show as “One Horse Open Sleigh” at Ordway Hall on Washington Street in Boston.

That discovery sent her down a completely different path than simply settling the Medford/Savannah dispute and she started digging deeper.
