The the California NAACP, is more than welcome, with maxine Waters posted , to stand there and sing:
“God, Save the Queen”!!
P.S., I’m not sure if the NAACP, which was founded on Baptist principles, even knows what the FOURTH stanza of the “Star Spangled Banner” says.
To: Sub-Driver
Perhaps we could change the NA to "Camptown Races".
I remember seeing many movies in which former slaves seemed to be overjoyed in singing this song in groups for any number of reasons.

Well if they decide to come back it most likely means they realize how good they actually had it here. I welcome anyone who realizes the benefits of living in this country, and respects all that it stands for.
To: Crucial
They don't need an argument other than they don't like it.
The same with the dissing and removal of confederate flags and statues of confederate soldiers.
Next they will say that the Statue of Liberty is racist because it is a white lady. Expect it. Why just this past week, some college professor claimed math was racist because it promoted white supremacy.
The degenerates have too much control and authorities just buckle under and accommodate them for fear of being called racists.
From what I can tell, there are no adults in charge of anything anymore in this country. The lowest common denominators are running the place.

Understood. There is some racism but a lot of it is anti- white. Especially in our legal system and our education and employment sectors. We need to end as much racist discrimination as possible. Starting now and starting with Draining the racist employment and education systems

The British have a legitimate grievance with the anthem. They are the ones being referred to as slaves.
The hirelings referenced are mercenaries in the service of Great Britain who was fighting an all-out-war with France at the time. Gotta get them fighting men from wherever ya can.

In the song, the ‘hirelings and slaves’ refer to Hessian mercenaries and American sailors impressed into service, respectively. The Hessians were used extensively in the Revolution and the impressing of American sailors was one of the problems that led to the War of 1812, during which the Anthem was written. The people behind this action probably did not know, and very likely do not care about this distinction. to them any mention of ‘Slaves’ means ‘black people’, This does not take into account the slaves taken by the Barbary Pirates

I have a better idea. Since blacks are so unhappy with the oppression in the US we should pay to repatriate them to their ancestral homelands. I am sure they will feel more comfortable in Nairobi.

No, stupid, the star spangled banner doesn’t hurt blacks. Blacks hurt blacks with their incessant, whining, complaining, accusations, protests, riots, assaults, and generally every thing else they do. Blacks are their own worst enemy.
