Why it might be time to finally replace ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ with a new national anthem

Until 1931 there was other national anthems: "Hail Columbia" and "My Country, 'Tis of Thee". Those two potential alternatives are unacceptable. Of course, "Hail Columbia" is name invoked Columbus. "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" is problematic because of the lyric "Land of the pilgrims' pride," not being inclusive enough.

What do these Leftists think is an appropriate replacement: Powell, for his part, suggests John Lennon’s “Imagine,” which he says is “the most beautiful, unifying, all-people, all-backgrounds-together kind of song you could have.” But what about “Lift Every Voice and Sing”?

"Imagine" a song about people losing all their ties to God and country. and “Lift Every Voice and Sing” the unofficial Black national anthem.

These people are sick.

Lyndsey Parker, please feel free to kill yourself.

The author is white. BLM tells me that all whites are racist and should’t be trusted. Therefore, the author is a racist and shouldn’t be trusted.

Liberals are only 20% of the population so why not replace them.

Reassessed? Riots are reassessment? The family of the aunt Jemima have stayed publicly they wish to not to change iconography of the brand No ones asking them

That’s not reassessment

I have always favored the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

I love seeing the “Star Bangled Banner” at the Smithsonian American History museum. I guess that flag is so problematic it needs to taken outside and burned.

Because COMMUNISM.

Charlie Manson was white and tried to instigate a race war too, he allegedly believed that after the shooting was over he’d be able to step in and take over.

Well if Antifa has a vote then it’s Государственный гимн Советского Союза.

What the **** is an afro-latina?

I remember actually seeing him near Independence California in 1969 hitchhiking with a couple of girls. My family was on a camping trip in the Sierras but didn’t put two and two together until hearing that he was arrested shortly afterwards. He was an evil murderous bastard. He’d fit in well with these Atifa creeps now.

I vote for, ‘We Are The World’. And when we sing it, we have to sway sideways, like Stevie Wonder. He did this so he would bump into the mic!
Come on! Everybody sing now!
