Read a story once(true as far as I know) about a big baseball game where the vendors sold beer & some wiseacre discovered where the main water shutoff was for the ballpark. I guess that really caused problems! Word was that somebody finally researched some really old blueprints for the park & they eventually got the water back on. Use your imagination to figure out what may have occurred in the meantime!

“Raise Every Voice and Sing”? Or sometimes called the black national anthem?
If you read the lyrics on the Net, there is nothing racist about it. It’s a beautiful song with Godly lyrics.
So? It is not a National Anthem.
Calling it the black national anthem makes it racist as hell.
“If you read the lyrics on the Net, there is nothing racist about it. It’s a beautiful song with Godly lyrics”
Sigh
You think I’m an ignoramus? The lyricist was an avowed Republican
If anyone would look at the meaning of the national anthem- the defense of the constitution and point out to anyone protesting it and demand that our government stop trumping to divide us who have no problem with each other that would be good as well
So please look at the big picture, the presentation and the purpose of this and stop insulting me
I dvr most programs I watch, so I can skip over commercials and boring parts.
That wasn’t directed at you. It was just a comment.
As to the national anthem part, it would be nice if they did the national anthem too.
I was just commenting that the lyrics are just the way they should be, to my ear. Listen to it with the lyrics on YouTube. They acknowledge the past but are not bitter and they are full of worship, if you persevere to the end.
It has been called that. That’s why I used lower-case letters. I always forget that not everyone is a copy editor. To put it in quotes would have seemed snarky.
“ If you read the lyrics on the Net, there is nothing racist about it. It’s a beautiful song with Godly lyrics.”
Could yo be a little artistic. A little less linear?
How is it being presented and what is the purpose of that?
And don’t answer me I’m busy.
I wish you could block people on FR like you can on Facebook.
“I wish you could block people on FR like you can on Facebook.
Here’s how you do that on FR. Very straightforward and non passive aggressive, non wimpy, you know:
“Don’t answer me I’m busy.”
Yet the sailors on the US Naval ship were forced to wear the colors of the gay flag and align themselves at the flag- anyone just catch that?
They need their own nation to have a national anthem. Or is their a Black Nation we don’t know about?
THERE!?! ...is their a...
I’ve heard it called that, sort of like there is a nation within a nation—or maybe it is a global thing, but it doesn’t seem so from the lyrics. I don’t want to speak for black people, though. I’m just reporting what I’ve read and heard.
