Patriotism in America

[Thinker101]

Fans often ask R&B singer and actor Jill Scott why she doesn't sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at sporting events.

The reason: She knows a completely different anthem would leave her lips; Scott told an audience during a March show in her hometown of Philadelphia. The neo-soul icon gave the highest-profile performance of the anthem so far Saturday at Day 2 of the 2023 Essence Fest in New Orleans.

Patriotism is unpatriotic, since this is supposed to be a republic for the people, not the people for the republic.

Nasty in a way you only understand.

Oh, I understand it alright.

You people try to portray yourselves as deep thinkers and intellects when really- y'all mostly just show yourselves to be snotty little elitist bigots.

Fuck off.

Fucking up the National Anthem has something to do with patriotism.

Or a lack of it, in this case.

So have Ted Nugent sing the Anthem

Nugent didn't sing it, but he did play it. Unfortunately, the actual song has more than 3 chords, so he had to do his own version of it.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This is what supports the belief that blacks cannot be Americans.

Jimi Hendrix did a great rendition...

Jimi Hendrix did a great rendition...

Sure, but he used more than 3 chords.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Jimi Hendrix did a great rendition...

He was also.criticized. for his eendition as being disrespectful and flamboyant. People said that it wasn't true to the orginal and were insulted. This was particularly sensitive at the time as the Vietnam War was in full swing. Of course, he didn't change lyrics in an instrumental.
