First lady Jill Biden caught plenty of well-deserved flak for a “tacky” White House Christmas video she shared online, and that was before Americans were informed about the dance company featured in the “playful” interpretation of “The Nutcracker Suite.”
“A bit of magic, wonder, and joy brought to you by the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance, performing their playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite,” Mrs. Biden announced on social media.

What the first lady didn’t announce is the radical nature of the troupe, as shared by the popular X account, End Wokeness.
“The group behind the viral Biden Christmas video is a radical anti-White group called Dorrance Dance,” the tweet read. “On the group website calls for defunding the police, abolishing prisons, and even quotes Marxist terrorist Angela Davis. The site has an entire section dedicated to anti-White literature.”

Just how radical can be determined by visiting the dance company’s website. Under the banner of “educating yourself,” it states: “For those who are investigating or have questions about white privilege, systemic racism, white fragility, and anti-racism for the very first time: antiracismforbeginners.com answers all the basic questions in a very straightforward way.”
In a section promoting action for justice and change, there is content about abolishing police and prisons, and the page includes a quote from Angela Davis, the 60s-era American revolutionary Marxist: “You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. and you have to do it all the time.”
The website also encourages donations to be given to the wholly discredited Black Lives Matter 501(c)(3) group. And if that’s not convincing enough of just how radical the dance company is, an excerpt from an essay written by the group’s namesake — a white liberal female, of course — should do the trick.
“I am a white tap dancer with Black cultural ancestors in a society that privileges white people and whiteness,” Michelle Dorrance wrote. “I am easy for white audiences wanting to access and experience elements of Black culture to swallow. My whiteness is the reason you may have heard of me before two of my inspirations, Ayodele Casel and Dormeshia, not to mention the legendary inspiration, elder, and griot, Dianne Walker. It is imperative for me, and those who look like me, to acknowledge that. It is imperative for us to fight against racist norms that have defined American culture since its very origin. If we do not do enough, this story will not change.” […]
“It is from this place of white privilege that I invite you to join me in lifelong antiracism work,” she concluded. “Understanding how deeply embedded white supremacy, racism, and colonialism is in our culture is paramount to understanding our role (as white people) in perpetuating it, and embracing our job to dismantle it. That understanding is incredibly important to me as a human being and to me as a tap dancer.”
This type of dehumanizing rhetoric is getting white people beaten and even killed daily.
Social media users had some strong feelings about Jill Biden’s choice to celebrate Christmas — here’s a quick sampling of responses to a story that even got Elon Musk’s attention, as seen on X:

Of course Jill Biden supports racists to make a mockery of the White House and Christmas

Antiwhiteism is the greatest threat to America.
It’s infected all parts of our schools, media, and government.
As such, it’s no surprise that the White House holiday video was created by racists who hate America and white people.
Our country is badly infected.

This administration really hates everything our country stands for

Fitting that they’d use a Marxist anti-white group for their “colorful Christmas”

Well that’s a great way to vet who works on celebrations on the White House…
Oh wait, they did.
