You could a Racist if you sing the National Anthem

If you did not know, you are being warned you could be a Racist or support racist ideas if you sing the National Anthem.

I posed the Snopes article since it hard to believe the media these days. The NAACP is going to petition Congress to remove “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the national anthem. “The Star-Spangled Banner” has now been declared offensive to people of color.

https://www.snopes.com/california-na...tional-anthem/

You can tune into your regular news source to listen to their spin on this topic.

I personally suspect this is an attempt by the NAACP to change the conversation about pro athletes who decided to take a knee during the national anthem as being unpatriotic, and viewers deciding not to watch it anymore. The NAACP wants to paint the critics of the athletes as racist, because it was not about athlete disrespecting the Flag and such it was really about them standing up against a racist song they were being force to sing.

Mods more this to the political section if this belongs there.

If you sing row row row your boat to children, you're basically advocating early American minstrel shows that often heavily depicted racist portrayals of black people, and minstrel shows are the origination of blackface.


Row row row your boat,
Gently down a stream,
let's make everything a bigger deal,
then it really needs to be.

I just hope you'll enjoy your one way ticket to hell as much as I'll enjoy mine I suppose.

So, this shouldn't be a surprise as a few months back when all the rage seemed to be the statue or Robert E Lee, Columbus and Robert Lee on ESPN I remarked that was only the beginning. I also posted about Washington and Jefferson being slave owners and suggested that before long the demands would come to start making changes, so I'm going to make a prediction.......Obama DC for a new name......discuss.

Folks - this is how you destroy a country. You attempt to erase its history, take down its monuments, destroy the traditional family, and ultimately destroy its culture through the guise of tolerance and political correctness.

Hey did you know my grandmother was once arrested for purposefully walking into the front entrance of a hotel. She was arrested because the entrance she was supposed to go was labeled colored and was about a quarter mile behind the hotel. She was officially charged with disturbing the peace. My grandmother is 78.
