Oklahoma City School Children Pledge Allegence To BLACK Flag!

[Spiff]

First Kwanza - now this.

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...

It also calls for separation of Black people onto their own land, given to them by the US.

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.

[ArGee]

then let's give them a free ride back to Africa and let them establish their own society there.

Well, didn't we do that once? Isn't the result the nation of Liberia?

Shalom.

[ArGee]

How stupid can you get.

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.

"the Red, Black and Green have been plainly adopted by Libya, Kenya and Afghanistan. Other African States have included the colors Black and Red, combined with yellow or white."

Afghanistan? An African state? And we've been looking for Osama over there by Pakistan. No wonder we haven't found him.

[Spiff]

You've got that right. In fact, go here to see that the poem is clearly called The Negro National Anthem.

[wcbtinman]

"One nation of Black People."

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.

[Spiff]

This school isn't the only one perpetuating this racist garbage. Go here - according to this Metro Magazine article - Raleigh, North Carolina's Shaw University sings only The Negro National Anthem before ball games.

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.

Bump for Ezola and Massnews ... just got through dissing Brother Cornel West!! hope you are groovy.

[wcbtinman]

"Also, not all Blacks feel this way."

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.

[Dakmar]

I pledge intention
To kick the @$$
Of every liberal
Multiculturalist
Race-baiter
And poverty pimp
Who spends tax money
On PC Bulls**t.

[thinktwice]

the Blacks want to secede and form their own country.

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"

Friend used to anchor there, at KFOR, but he is gone. Somehow think loads of media will get on this. Also, local paper, the Daily Oklahoman (the Oak) will be all over this. Is owned by Eddie Gaylord. Eddie makes us look like a Goreons.
