To that last listener, the one who’s protesting that Christmas “is about peace and joy, not political”, I have a message:
No Justice, No Peace and Joy!
Seriously, lady. Your white privilege is blinding. Try making it through one Christmas while suffering the loss of a loved one and knowing their murderer will go unpunished, then see how you feel.
Oh, but things like that don’t happen to good people, oh no. There’s nothing quite as poisonous as unexamined privilege.

Peace and joy for whom, is the part she’s missing out on. Obviously the true meaning of the lyrics was beyond her perceptions.
Swimming in privilege, that one.
