'I-Jingle Bells' - enye yeengoma ezaziwa kakhulu nezixhaphake ukuculwa eMelika kwihlabathi, isusiwe kwikharityhulamu yesikolo samabanga aphantsi saseNew York ngenxa “yokuba ibangele impikiswano okanye ikhubekise.”

Ukwenza imeko engafanelekanga ibe mbi ngakumbi, i Intsumpa yesikolo, uKevin McGowan, wabiza isigqibo esingenangqondo sokuvala ingoma "ukutshintsha okucingayo okwenziwe ngabasebenzi abacingayo."

Brighton's Isikolo samabanga aphantsi iKhansile Rock inqununu uMatthew Tappon, kwi-imeyile kwindawo yeendaba yendawo I-Rochester Beacon, yachaza ukuba intandokazi yeKrisimesi yatshintshwa ezinye iingoma ngenxa yokunxibelelana kwayo kunye nesithethe sokwenza i-blackface kwinkulungwane ye-19.

NgokukaTappon, isigqibo sokuvala ingoma sishukunyiswe linqaku le-2017 ngu. Boston Unjingalwazi weYunivesithi uKyna Hamill. Umphandi ufumene amaxwebhu abonisa unxibelelwano phakathi 'kweJingle Bells' kunye ne-blackface minstrelsy, uhlobo oludumileyo lokuzonwabisa phakathi kwenkulungwane ye-19 yaseMelika.

Unjingalwazi uHamill wathi “sothukile” sisigqibo sesikolo ‘sokurhoxisa’ ingoma.

“Andizange ndicebise ukuba iyeke ukuculwa ngabantwana,” utshilo kwi-imeyile.

Unjingalwazi wongeze ukuba uphando lwakhe lwalubalisa nje ibali lokucula okokuqala kwengoma kwaye alunxulumananga nangayiphi na indlela “nesithethe seKrisimesi sokucula le ngoma ngoku.”

Uqhube wathi ukuthandwa kwengoma kunye nomculo wayo onomtsalane yinto enomdla yodwa kwaye ayifanelanga kubonwa kuphela ngeprism yemvelaphi yayo yexesha le-minstrel.

“Ndingathi mayiculwe kakhulu kwaye yonwabele, kwaye mhlawumbi ixoxwe,” utshilo uNjingalwazi uHamill.

Kwangaxeshanye, abaphathi besikolo bazama ukuchaza esinye isizathu ngesigqibo sabo, besithi ‘iintsimbi zesileyi’ ezikule ngoma zinokunxulunyaniswa neentsimbi zekhola yamakhoboka.

Unjingalwazi uHamill uncome ukuxhasa eli bango “ngomthombo obhekiswa kakuhle” ukuba isikolo sifuna ukuwusebenzisa njengengxoxo yokusika ingoma.
