This is their pledge to the BLACK flag, not American flag, but BLACK flag, said by children of one Oklahoma City innercity school district, the Millwood School District.
Think I am kidding? Here is their webpage: http://www.millwood.k12.ok.us/MPS%20Students.htm
Notice it calls for honor to the Black flag, not the US flag. It also calls for separation of Black people onto their own land, given to them by the US. In addition, it calls for students to have Black love, Black freedom, and Black determination. Quite different from "... liberty and justice for ALL."
Your tax dollars are paying for this!!!! No wonder so many innercity kids can't read or write when this is what our educational dollars are being spent on!
This is all part and parcel to Kwanzaa. You see this pledge is often said to the black nationalist flag during Kwanzaa. The black nationalist flag - the red, black, and green - is an integral part of the Kwanzaa celebration - as are those colors. In Kwanzaa the flag is known as the Bendera and its pledge is given each night. The colors are supposed to be used in all Kwanzaa decorations, etc.
Dakotaman has already quoted this, but I will quote it again. The Melanet Kwanzaa Information Center says that the colors of black nationalism, represented on the flag, mean:
The Red, or the blood, stands as the top of all things. We lost our land through blood; and we cannot gain it except through blood. We must redeem our lives through the blood. Without the shedding of blood there can be no redemption of this race. However, the bloodshed and sorrow will not last always. The Red significantly stands in our flag as a reminder of the truth of history, and that men must gain and keep their liberty, even at the risk of bloodshed.The Black is in the middle. The Black man in this hemisphere has yet to obtain land which is represented by the Green. The acquisition of land is the highest and noblest aspiration for the Black man on this continent, since without land there can be no freedom, justice, independence, or equality.
This is a despicable and destructive racist philosophy to be teaching children. And people wonder why I homeschool mine...
Works for me! How about 'Love Canal?' No, wait, they can have the Painted Desert.
North Dakota! I hear they have problems with tourists anyway and are considering changing their name to Dakota. Think the blacks would like North Dakota.
The sure aren't going to want Georgia, are they?
Shalom.
Well, didn't we do that once? Isn't the result the nation of Liberia?
Shalom.
Don't ask that question of a liberal. They might show you and it would scare you to death.
Especially if you ask a liberal politician.
Shalom.
Afghanistan? An African state? And we've been looking for Osama over there by Pakistan. No wonder we haven't found him.
Works for me. As long as that Nation is outside of the US.
BTW, the leaders of this school district can be among the first with Jackson, Sharpton, et.all.
And I quote:
Exactly 100 years after James Johnson wrote "Lift Every Voice" as a paean to the dreams of America's blacks, the piece, known now as "the black national anthem," continues to ring out before games at local minority schools, including downtown Raleigh's Shaw University, which receives public funds.The hymn, which is about redemption and hope, is usually sung either before or after the regular national anthem, the star-spangled version that talks more about bombs bursting in air and that serves as the acknowledged patriotic show starter at most school, government and athletic events. Sometimes, however, the black national anthem is the only musical introduction to the local Shaw games, athletic officials there acknowledge.
Then why don't I hear the loud and strident outrage from any Blacks about teaching this racist tripe to our children?
Can you name one Black leader of any prominence who stands up in public and denounces this?
I thought not.
So do the Palestinians, within Istrael.
I wonder which side XXXXXPOTUS #41 is on.
Because the media does not give them voice, it does not mean they are not out there.
I got a reply from Oklahoma City - Nancy Yoder [yoder@kwtv.com] from KWTV. "Dear *****, I will share this with others in the newsroom. Any other information you may have I would appreciate it. Thank you, nancy"
