I miss d the game because I wanted to better use my time by carving my teeth into the letters of the alphabet using an emory board
Well, I have to add the Marine Corps Hymn..................😉
That is the problem. That it had been appropriated by the Left. It isn’t the song, how it sounds, or what is in it.
It is that the execrable people and organizations who have appropriated it are heavily steeped in racial grievance, and have appropriated it for a reason. Too many people are saying “Oh, it is a hymn” or “Oh, it doesn’t say anything bad” are missing the point completely, and often, intentionally. After all, the Rainbow was once a symbol of something beautiful, a covenant with God, and visually, they are beautiful. But look at what it stands for now.
Just imagine, for a minute, if “America The Beautiful” was adopted as that anthem of some white nationalist movement (which would be the white analogy of Black Lives Matter).
See just how fast “America The Beautiful” would be removed from everywhere, all at once.
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” is a good song. But it shouldn’t be recognized as a national anthem for African Americans. That’s divisive.
What was her statement on the issue/after wards do ya know?
“Kari Lake REFUSES to stand for ‘Black National Anthem’ at Super Bowl”
Who tried to make her stand?
It was transplanted to his back; look at his t-shirt bulge.
I proudly haven’t watched anything NFL — Nat’l Felons League — since 1990. Welcome to the club.
He’d make a good spokesman for Tidy Bowl.
It’s one of those things where some people’s expectations are just plain unrealistic. Don’t cave in to any “peer” pressure. In fact, they are NOT your peers if they insist on having this alternative “National” anthem of theirs.
That was my question earlier: Why was everyone standing anyway--was there an announcement to "please stand" for this song?
Having said that, when people are in a crowd, they don't have to order you or otherwise force you to do something. Often it's just implicit peer pressure-- people just do it because they don't want to seem like an oddball or a hater. Not going along with the crowd is also a refusal.
I don’t think she REFUSED to stand; she just didn’t stand. The lady behind and to her left REFUSED to stand, too.
She was honoring Rosa Parks.
It’s a nice song’ but it’s NOT the anthem which describes the beginning of our Nation. We had to fight for the beginning of or nation against all odds. Because of it, we developed a Constitution promising freedom, and justice for ALL.
Anyone who has a problem with that can take a boat to whichever nation on earth that more closely represents their political sentiments. Which is exactly what our founders, the Pilgrims, did in coming here in the first place.
Ms. Lake needs to be Trump’s VP IN 2024
“It’s a nice song’ but it’s NOT the anthem which describes the beginning of our Nation.”
Right. (Who said it was? Are “they” saying that? Weird.)
“Ms. Lake needs to be Trump’s VP IN 2024”
Or maybe he needs to be HER VP in 2024. ;)
She said, “I’m just here for THE national anthem.”
There is no such thing as a black national anthem.
“We have lost it when doing nothing makes you a hero.”
Or when standing up for nothing.
