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.

Given how easily Americans are offended these days,
the anthem might better be Brenda Lee’s “I’m Sorry.”
and years ago parents would have never stood for being told they could not bring their child to reparative therapy if their confused sick child thought they were were gay
Someone told them the first line is “Jose can you see” and they think it’s insulting to Hispanics.
The white power structure named all the worst ghetto streets, roads and avenues in America after Martin Luther King Jr. so whites would know what parts of towns and cities to avoid if they didn’t want to get mugged, car-jacked, shot, raped or stomped to death.
If that isn’t racist, what is?

"My Maserati does one eighty five" to
"My Koenigsegg does two eighty five"
Gotta keep up with the times.
There is a ‘Black National Anthem’
don’t understand your question- “have one ‘not’ too many?” What does that mean? Do i have a child that thinks they are gay? No- no children- I was just pointing out that some states have made it illegal for parents of sick confused kids to bring them to reparative therapy
Sure, let’s change our National Anthem from the Star Spangled Banner to Battle Hymm of the Republic.
My mistake. You are right. I didn’t know it was illegal.
Priorities Priorities.. The DNC power brokers will demand the same for their next convention.

They’d probably like John Lennon’s “Imagine” lyrics.
Ten years ago on this site I responded to one of the resident bloody shirt south haters, that are not uncommon here, that thoese who want to start banning symbols and statues of the CSA will see clamoring to purge Lincoln, the SSB, Hamilton and Washington as the end result. Now that day has come

Because Frances Scott Key was a slaveholder. Wheras England.......well, I don't know, they had slaves, lots of them in the Carribean.
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Who knows, no, many colored people weren't free, but to suggest they weren't brave, free or not, they'd be screaming racism.
It gets publicity. And donations.
Maybe they would be satisfied with “God Bless Africa” (the national anthem of South Africa) with some changes—replace “Africa” in the first line with “’Merica” and replace “South Africa” where it occurs with “United States” (same number of syllables).
>>They are owned bag and baggage by the socialists, anarchists and pretty soon, jihadists.
This is exactly what is in the cards, and what will finally trigger a no-holds-barred civil war. I predict that our country will either defeat this internal enemy or emerge from the conflict as a totally unrecognizable hellhole. Check out the recent history of South Africa for a parallel.
Ban the song ‘We Shall Overcome’... it’s hurts my white sensibilities...
