Well, long before this, I've heard AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL sang in place of the Star Spangled Banner in major sports events.

[Salvation]

No way. A person has to read the history of the Star-Spangled Banner and how many men died holding the flag aloft!

Check it out on your own

[notaliberal]

Absolutely not!

[elpadre]

I sort of like what we have. I have heard complaints that it is difficult to sing. But I like it!

Just because it is old is no reason to change. If it ain’t broke, don’t change!!!

FUYHU

[Jolla]

Dixie

I wish I was in the land of cotton...

[lee martell]

Wrong-O to the 45th power!

[BenLurkin]

is the Star Spangled Banner too problematic

It is in no way "problematic"

[HighSierra5]

My Grampa used to say “Give em an inch and they’ll take a mile.”

Since they’re turning this into an alternate reality, this is our new anthem:

[Lion Den Dan]

I agree. Repalce with the Dark Town Strutter’s Ball or Dixie, or any Steven Foster tune. Sarc/

[Secret Agent Man]

Nope.

Its a major diss to King George and the brits. Never forget.

NEVER FORGET. The blood of patriots founded this country. after decades of trying to work with the monarchy, being rejected and pressed harder and harder.

Let the Dems win everything in Nov and they’ll destroy it all

[Mark]

Replace with theme, President Donald Trump m-m-m-m-Good!

[pnut22]

God Bless America works for me.

[Darksheare]

They’d probably prefer “The International”.

[TBP]

Just because Ed can’t sing it...

[semaj]

Only if we change it to the Team America theme song.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Keep pushing and the silent majority will be the ones burning things down.

[Aliska]

Next they’ll want to stop fireworks on the 4th of July.

But what about “Lift Every Voice and Sing”? That song, written as a poem by James Weldon Johnson in 1900, set to music by his brother J. Rosamond Johnson in 1905, and first publicly performed as part of a celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday by Johnson’s brother John, was dubbed “the Negro national hymn” by the NAACP in 1919. In more recent years, it has been referenced in Maya Angelou’s 1969 autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Spike Lee’s 1989 film Do the Right Thing; it was also performed in 1972 by Kim Weston as the opening number for the Wattstax festival and by Beyoncé during her celebrated 2018 Coachella set.

This the ultimate in jamming it down whitey's throat. The perfect symbol for the reparations oriented movement. If the rats win by fraud or our laziness this year these two items will be on the rat Congressional agenda.
