Who's the real racist here, Sunni?

 

[Sunni Man]

I think that this was a disgrace.

There were both black and white people in the audience.

Everyone should have just set back down by the second stanza.

Yet these fools started clapping at the end.

Life Every Voice is a "black power anthem"? What a ridiculously stupid post.

Lift ev'ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.

There is no American that couldn't sing this sound, and feel that it is equally true for them. Except, maybe, a few atheists.

Who's the real racist here, Sunni?

She was introduced as the woman who would sign our National Anthem.

That is what the people stood up for an expected to hear.

Okay. So?

(damn...who knew singing was such a subversive act of rebellion)

I would venture to say that any acting our past military personnel would find this offensive.

It wasn't a military gathering. It appears to have been a community meeting in Denver, the purposes/goals of the meeting are not made clear. I work a lot in the black community, I understand that they sometimes do things a little differently, but if you read the lyrics of the song, it expresses the same depth of commitment to this country as the national anthem does, in a way that is representative of their history and struggle.

 

[Sunni Man]

If she had been introduced as the woman who was going to sing an old Negro spiritual song then I would have no problem.

But she was brought there and introduced To sing the National Anthem.

If she could not or would not do that then she should have declined the invitation.

Yeah, okay. What does this have to do with Obama, and how is it that Negro Spirituals get your panties in such a wad?

This is true.

 

[Sunni Man]

If I wanted to listen to old gospel Negro spirituals then I would go down the street on Sunday to the local A.M.E. Zionist Church.

Maybe Rev. Wright would be preaching there that day.

I am. Whenever the Brits play 'God Save the Queen' I always sing 'My County Tis of Thee'. My bad. My subversive.

The only thing it has to do with Obama is the title of the youtube.

I think it's because she's black.

I love old Negro spiritual's because they are totally authentic and straight from the heart.

But to quote California Girl this was a "subversive" act.

I actually have to agree with you on this...if the plan was for her to sing the National Anthem and she decided on her own to sing what she wanted, it sounds like she was just being defiant. I also love negro spirituals - but that wasn't the plan.
