It’s not hard to argue that at all. Santa Claus grew directly from a Christian saint. The name means “Christ’s mass.” Nativity scenes are blatantly religious displays. Angel imagery comes from Christianity as well. Songs like “Silent Night,” “O Holy Night,” and “Joy to the World” are blatantly religious. Many, many

Please don’t pretend like the commercialism of Christmas and “Christmas spirit” aren’t pushed on everyone in Western cultures. You’re either super oblivious or deliberately obtuse.

Please, dear God, no. If Christmas were moved to the end of January, for at least a generation (probably 2) retailers would stretch the Christmas season out over two full fucking months rather than just one. You think they’d move Black Friday to mid-December? HAHA. They’d have Black Friday, Cyber Monday,

He...he does realize that the story is 1500 to 1600 years old, right? Right?

I don’t think that’s all that culturally difficult to understand...I mean, there’s a dude who got famous because he looked cute in his mug shot, and the Internet called him “Prison Bae.” There’s a woman with a nice figure in a cute dress who also happens to be a teacher, and got famous, and the Internet called her

That video is so late 1990s. But I can do without Reflection.

Cinderella definitely had musical numbers - “Bibbity Bobbety Boo,” “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes,” “So This Is Love,” “Sing Sweet Nightingale,” etc.

Disney hasn’t always been so careful. This is quite recent.

OK, so it wasn’t just me then.

They were specifically referencing American Airlines’ biggest hub. Hartsfield isn’t an AA hub; DFW is and it’s AA’s biggest.

They meant American Airlines’ largest hub - DFW is American’s largest hub.

A bigger financial incentive? My mom used to be a hospital nurse and they got double pay on Christmas. I would imagine that pilots could get at least that.

Some of y’all really are trash.

I’m not laughing because that shit ain’t funny.

No, because we’re not a hive mind and we don’t all think the same, but it shouldn’t matter because the answer’s the same.

If you wouldn’t do it in public, that means you KNOW that it’s offensive to people, so the fact that you want to be able to do it in private makes it even shadier.

Um, yes, and the n-word has been assigned a meaning and it’s derogatory when coming out of the mouths of white people as it always has been? “I’m rubber and you’re glue” has ALWAYS been false.

Yes, that’s exactly what we’re saying. Skip the word. It’s a song...written by black people. Just because you’ve been doing it for 20 years doesn’t mean it’s not wrong and fucked up.

Because she kissed a white boy? Really though. She goes to Harvard. She’s around white boys all the time. She was raised by Michelle and Barack...she can come until she’s a full grown adult and proves otherwise in some other way.

I feel like Prince Harry would be fine at the cookout, like maybe a slight bit uncomfortable but mostly fine. I always suspected that one would be the one to bring home a black chick.
