And his wife said the other day, to paraphrase, that it was somehow destiny or fate, that she is now back in America, to be here to fight racism.
Nice virtue signaling from this royal couple.

this is an anti-slavery song written by a former slave.
being against this song is declaring yourself to be a racist

What about De Camptown Ladies?

Sheer stupidity. Instead of songs of slaves singing of salvation, lets simply erase them from history entirely.

They aren’t reviewing its use because they find it boring. Their “reasons” are far more sinister.

Given as he has abandoned his country, family and duty, I don’t see how he has any say in the matter.

Maybe they should get rid of the hymn “Amazing Grace” while they’re at it. It was written by John Newton who at one time had no religious beliefs, and after being pressed into the Royal Navy, and upon leaving that service, became involved in the slave trade. After surviving a harrowing storm at sea, he went on to study Christian theology, and was eventually ordained. The hymn sends the message that no matter your sin, you can be forgiven, and be redeemed through the mercy of God. “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” is a black spiritual song. It’s in the National Recording Registry. This madness has to stop. I am so sick of this country’s history being attacked by a group of people who have no real knowledge of any of it.
