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.

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 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.

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!

It’s not just a song. It’s a symbol of this country. They hate this country and so want to eliminate this symbol.

I kind of agree. These people need their own nation with something more appropriate for them as an anthem. Some sort of split is going to happen.

Since much of the country seems to have gone batsh*t crazy and I sometimes feel like I’m living in the world of “Idiocracy”, I suggest “Team America’s” theme song “America, Fu*k Yeah!”
