Racist Woman Sings Black Power Anthem Instead of National Anthem

[SW2SILVER]

OK, Why was it racist. Sunni dude? I live in Denver, I remember the incident well. She was ostracized, I think she realized what a lapse in judgment THAT was. Racist? Hardly.

Thankfully, that's not how Fairy Godmothers work, but that's a topic for another time and place. I learned a long time ago that the world is not going to conform to the way I think it should be. That doesn't me I have to conform to the way it is. It's really that simple.

I prefer being my own fairy godmother.

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.

surprised it's not a rap song!!!
BLACK PRIDE IS AN OXYMORON!!!

That's fine. Personally, I prefer the older versions of Grimms (and other) Fairy Tales, which generally don't end so nicely as Disney now likes to portray them.
