Professors Say Trump’s ‘Merry Christmas’ Is RACIST

Now that all the presents are unwrapped and the kids are basking in their post-Christmas glow, three university professors want you to know just how awful President Donald Trump is for wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.


By saying that he’s going to start saying “Merry Christmas” instead of the politically correct “Happy Holidays,” they say, Trump is promoting racism and white nationalism. Or something.

These “experts” say that merely uttering “Merry Christmas” is a racist dog whistle for “white identity politics.”

“I see such invocations of Christmas as a kind of cypher, what some would call a dog whistle,” Richard King, a Washington State University professor told Newsweek. “It does not appear to be intolerant or extreme, but to attentive audiences it speaks volumes about identity and belonging—who and what are fully American.”

Another professor – Joe Perry – said Trump is using Nazi-style tactics to encourage anti-Semitism. The Nazis famously used Christmas carols with rewritten lyrics to promote their fascistic agenda. Perry – who teaches at Georgia State University – said that the far right” has used the war on Christmas in order to warn people against multiculturalism and secularization.

“The far right’s engagement in the ‘war on Christmas’ explicitly posits that there is one single true or correct Christmas. The holiday’s true nature is somehow under threat from outsiders and liberals who act as forces of degradation, multiculturalism and secularization,” Perry said.

Of course, Trump has never called for “genocide,” and the professors reluctantly admit that. But these expects claim that the way Trump talks about Christmas “coexists with reemerging white identity politics.”

“Committed white nationalists love Trump’s bring back Christmas campaign almost as much as evangelicals,” Dr. Randy Blazak, a sociology professor, told Newsweek. “His followers see this as gospel and a rebuking of multiculturalism and political correctness, and the growing influence of Jews, Muslims, atheists and other non-WASPs.”

“Because Americans have enjoyed a relatively stable political system, Christmas in the U.S. has been relatively immune to the overt politicization of the holiday,” Joe Perry, author of the book Christmas in Germany: A Cultural History, which examines the way Nazis used Christmas to spread fascism, told Newsweek.

“But not completely immune. The far right’s engagement in the ‘war on Christmas’ explicitly posits that there is one single true or correct Christmas. The holiday’s true nature is somehow under threat from outsiders and liberals who act as forces of degradation, multiculturalism and secularization,” Perry continued.

Perry argues that Trump hasn’t gone nearly as far as the Nazis in promoting his vision of the holidays, and he sees major flaws in describing Trump as a Nazi-like figure. But there are some clear parallels.

“Trump and the Nazis share aspects of race-baiting and perhaps broader aspects of extreme conservatism—many political ideologies do,” Perry said.

“Frankly, I’m not sure how far Trump himself is willing to go to use the holiday to promote anti-Muslim or anti-minority visions of America, or if he even really understands what he is doing with his ‘Merry Christmas’ tirades.”

What do you think? Do you think of White Nationalism every time Trump says “Merry Christmas”? No? Shocking!

Professors Say Trump's 'Merry Christmas' Is RACIST

Professors who say these things aren't fit to teach. Christmas is a multi-racial, global holiday and celebration, it has no borders, it has no race, it has no ethnicity. There are Christians of every race and in every country.

Merry Christmas America!

“Because Americans have enjoyed a relatively stable political system, Christmas in the U.S. has been relatively immune to the overt politicization of the holiday,”
