California’s NAACP is pushing for state lawmakers to support a campaign to remove "The Star Spangled Banner" as the country's national anthem.
The group says the song, which has been a point of controversy in the NFL, is "one of the most racist, pro-slavery, anti-black songs in the American lexicon," The Sacramento Bee reported Tuesday.
The NAACP’s California chapter last week reportedly sent out two resolutions, which had been passed at the organizations state conference last month.
One of the resolutions was to support the removal of the anthem, while the other is an effort to get the NFL to fit former player Colin Kaepernick onto a team.

Only if it is replaced with Doo-wah-Diddy.
Insanity is becoming the norm? When will the American people have had enough?
I guess Camp Town Races is out of the question, then.
Doo dah, doo dah.
"I get no kick from champagne......"
Ooohhh, say can you “Doo Wah diddy diddy dum diddy doooo...?
Nah....
Ha, ha, ha, ha.... nice! I love that movie. It certainly couldn’t be made today.
We need to make it politically correct... like Austria and Canada have done with their national anthems!
Honest to Hay-soose, you just can’t make this stuff up.
Since DJT was elected, I use that expression at least a hundred times a month!
I guess they’d prefer a RAP number talking about killing cops and white?
Maybe, or maybe they are just making it easier for us to spot them. Seems like lots of America has had enough just look who is president. Now to carry the common sense reformation through on all levels - now how to do that? - no clue.
Always remember the “All in the Family” episode in which Mike lectures to Archie about how the song apparently glorifies war. If you actually bothered to read about Francis Scott Key and what inspired him to write the song (the full version), the last thing to come to your mind ought be such a glorification.
I think we’re about there.
> When will the American people have had enough? <
I think never. Such is the power of relentless liberal propaganda.
Years ago no one would have thought about replacing the anthem for “racist” reasons. Today we are talking about it. Years from now (5 years? 20 years?), most people will think it’s a good idea.
The same goes with tearing down statues, renaming buildings, etc. Sad to say, but it’s a one-way street.
LOL! Nonetheless, it rocks!

NAACP is not going to like my answer.
Sure, let’s get rid of all our history so these anti-American’s can write their own perverted view.
Sick and tired of these bastards bitching about a country that has bent over backward to accommodate their every wish. Just how much more does this country have to do for the so-called oppressed race pimps.
Just goes to prove that giving an inch will end up having to give a mile.
Rollin down the streets, smokin endo, sippin on gin n juice...

Up until >> just now << I had never thought about joining the KKK.
Although it appears to be insanity, it’s not. It’s just the anacronistic “colored people” club trying desperately to remain relevant.
