California NAACP Denounces Star-Spangled Banner as Racist, Anti-Black People
BY: Alex Griswold November 8, 2017 3:11 pm
The California chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is calling on lawmakers to strip "The Star-Spangled Banner" of its status as the national anthem.
The state civil rights organization has been circulating two petitions in the California State Legislature, one that calls the song "one of the most racist, pro-slavery, anti-black songs in the American lexicon," and another that praises former NFL player Colin Kaepernick for kneeling during the anthem, the Sacramento Bee reported.
"This song is wrong; it should have never been there, and just we didnt have it until 1931, it wont kill us if it goes away," California NAACP President Alice Huffman.....

I here Liberia is a wonderful country for those disenfranchised with America.
If I say we should have picked our own cotton....
These people bend truth.
Damn them!
Go away Alice Huffman.
That was a lot more logical.
Some people are so astonishingly stupid that they wouldnt be worth their keep as slaves, lord forbid
The the California NAACP, is more than welcome, with maxine Waters posted , to stand there and sing:
“God, Save the Queen”!!
P.S., I’m not sure if the NAACP, which was founded on Baptist principles, even knows what the FOURTH stanza of the “Star Spangled Banner” says.
I remember seeing many movies in which former slaves seemed to be overjoyed in singing this song in groups for any number of reasons.
Well if they decide to come back it most likely means they realize how good they actually had it here. I welcome anyone who realizes the benefits of living in this country, and respects all that it stands for.
The same with the dissing and removal of confederate flags and statues of confederate soldiers.
Next they will say that the Statue of Liberty is racist because it is a white lady. Expect it. Why just this past week, some college professor claimed math was racist because it promoted white supremacy.
The degenerates have too much control and authorities just buckle under and accommodate them for fear of being called racists.
From what I can tell, there are no adults in charge of anything anymore in this country. The lowest common denominators are running the place.
Understood. There is some racism but a lot of it is anti- white. Especially in our legal system and our education and employment sectors. We need to end as much racist discrimination as possible. Starting now and starting with Draining the racist employment and education systems
The hirelings referenced are mercenaries in the service of Great Britain who was fighting an all-out-war with France at the time. Gotta get them fighting men from wherever ya can.
Oh my GOSH... I’m getting sick of these Anti-American moronic jerks. Where in the song does it talk about Blacks? Idiots!!
They are not Americans
They are not fit to breathe American air
They are inferior
Not by me.
Hey...the inside of an apple is white. That’s racist. //sarc
So just LEAVE, get the F OUT!
I have a better idea. Since blacks are so unhappy with the oppression in the US we should pay to repatriate them to their ancestral homelands. I am sure they will feel more comfortable in Nairobi.
die NFL DIE!!!
No, stupid, the star spangled banner doesn’t hurt blacks. Blacks hurt blacks with their incessant, whining, complaining, accusations, protests, riots, assaults, and generally every thing else they do. Blacks are their own worst enemy.
