Dividing America.

A big part of the Democrat Party agenda.

Africa has 54 countries. Do we need to send someone in DC a map?

Everything is always about them. Also, we have the whitest blacks. This has gotten to be so ridiculous, everything seems like satire.

The TV listing;

“The annual concert celebrating America’s 245th birthday pays special tribute to American military heroes and their families. The show features the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jack Everly, the Choral Arts Society of Washington, the U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” and the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets. The finale includes fireworks and Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” complete with cannon fire.”

PBS 8-9:30 ET.

"My theory is that it’s based on the fact that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks."

Most of us who read the lyrics to the “Negro National Anthem” will find them pretty darn compelling. The lyrics are good, and we may want to affirm them.

We need to come up with a term for when the left tries to shove a rear end in our face ( like this ) where we don’t expect or want it. Another example is on the show “Blue Bloods” where they have Whoopi Goldberg in some episodes. Another black actress could do just as good or a better job but the left has to have their fun.

As I said 4 years ago on this forum, and many are finally realizing this year with its insanely rapid, bi-partisan and wholly undeserved elevation to Federal holiday, Juneteenth — an utterly meaningless event at the time — is being used (due to its calandar proximity) by Marxists to supplant and eventually replace July 4th as our principal national holiday.

the song “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which has become known as the “black national anthem,”

Bullsh**. Known by who as the "black national anthem"? I'd wager a month's pay that the majority of black people in the US have never even heard of the song, let alone know it as the "black national anthem". The only people pronouncing this song as the "black national anthem" are undoubtedly white liberals.

Vanessa Williams gave up the Miss America title because PENTHOUSE published her nude photos...When she was not famous, She posed for nude photos...Somehow PENTHOUSE got hold of her nude photos...

I do actually like some of her songs...

The black national anthem is separatism and not a unified struggle for all humans for freedom. The anthem is about liberty from slavery “treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered.” Is this an image of those who died in the Civil War so they might be free? It is too ambiguous for a purpose.

The black national anthem is too wordy, full of vague metaphors and divides people from the higher mission of freedom.

People anymore are petty, self absorbed and superficial. Oh, and ridiculous. They need to get over themselves. So sick of the Bs these days.
