I get goosebumps when I think of the faith and courage it took to endure that night, both as the soldiers being held on the ship and as Francis Scott Key, formulating the words to describe the heroism of our ancestors. (Well, your ancestors, actually. Mine did not arrive here until much later.)
Absolutely not, You need a country to have a national anthem
The black do not qualify they have no country of their own

It should shame any good American to look at the clowns marching the streets right now, disgracing the history of a great country.That was absolutely beautiful! It gave me chills. That dying patriots struggled to hold the flag up as British guns were steeled on them, fighting with their last breath to not let the flag fall.
Now compare that to what we have now. Lowlifes and ingrates, with opportunities avoiding in this wonderful country, spitting on the flag and setting it on fire. The brave men of Fort McHenry must be rolling over in their graves.
I said they did not have a country of their own. thus they could not have a national anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner is for all Americans. Why do you have a problem with thatAmerica is much the country of the blacks who live here as it is of the Whites.
You are correct, Ft. McHenry. My bad. Key was on the British ship 'Tonnant' to negotiate the release of William Beans a 65 year old physician who was taken into British custody aboard the ship for confronting British soldiers after they tried to plunder his home. Key was was detained on the ship where he watched the bombardment from the deck. The bombardment was so thick and many British shells blew up short of their target 'bursting in air.' After the bombardment he expected to see the British Union Jack, miraculously he saw the American flag and the Fort had not fallen. That is what happened and it had nothing whatsoever to do with racism.Wasn’t it Fort McHenry?
I took a boat tour out into the middle of Baltimore Harbor, and we stopped right at the spot where FSK was inspired to write the star Spangled Banner.
That the flag still waved after a night of rocket bombardment, with the sky so thick with smoke that one could not see,and did indeed remain in place, tattered yet not defeated, is a testament to America’s triumph. That it is now being replaced, or “equalized” with a so-called Black National Anthem shows how much division the liberals have sown.
You don’t make sense. By that reasoning, nobody has a country of their own.I said they did not have a country of their own. thus they could not have a national anthem. The Star Spangle Banner is for all Americans. Why do you have a problem with that
What is so hard to understand, are you that dense?You don’t make sense. By that reasoning, nobody has a country of their own.
OK, I agree with you now that you explain it, but totally unnecessary to insult me. I’m probably a lot brighter than you.What is so hard to understand, are you that dense?
The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem for all Americans
it is not for one race only,. The "black NATIONAL" anthem is supposedly for blacks only but aren't you supposed to have a country to have a national anthem?
If you say soOK, I agree with you now that you explain it, but totally unnecessary to insult me. I’m probably a lot brighter than you.
Yes, it’s the WHY behind it. WHY are whites being discriminated against, and excluded from opportunities because they aren’t the proper skin color?
No…never did, always used lower case myself and another member here stated he used upper case for both because it is proper English.You never noticed the capital B and lower w stuff? Tell you what. For the next day or so, I’m going to lower case when I refer to black people and upper case when I refer to White people. A not so subtle implication will emerge.
Do you have a problem with the reference to Christian Americans?That was absolutely beautiful! It gave me chills. That dying patriots struggled to hold the flag up as British guns were steeled on them, fighting with their last breath to not let the flag fall.
Now compare that to what we have now. Lowlifes and ingrates, with opportunities abounding in this wonderful country, spitting on the flag and setting it on fire. The brave men of Fort McHenry must be rolling over in their graves.
Many Blacks would disagree.America is much the country of the blacks who live here as it is of the Whites.
My reference is history, not religion. The bible is 99 percent history, 1 percent religion (approximately).Good question for the religion forum. And I know the answer, but I’m not allowing an antisemite to derail me in my own thread.

Thanks for that.....I remember seeing that a while ago, truly inspiring!!! The left want to degrade our history because they have no knowledge of real American history and go along with garbage like 'build back better.' They only react to what other lefties and would be anti American revolutionaries tell them about our history.
You seem obsessed with skin color.So you are talking about quotas so it reflects the US demographic? Eh. I don’t care. Let the them have a few years of “wokeness”, it will eventually balance in different ways if the market demands it and that is what most of these decisions are based in.
IMO, after years of being minalized in these industries overrun with white faces they finally get visibility. No skin off my back.
No…never did, always used lower case myself and another member here stated he used upper case for both because it is proper English.
Like any good, obedient SJW robot.You seem obsessed with skin color.
Especially the kids in their 20s. The public school education is abysmal, and getting worse, with all the social justice nonsense being prioritized over basic history, math, writing, and so forth. I bet most of them would be dumbfounded if you asked them about the War of 1812 (even who the enemy was!). They had a man in the street type interview and some of them couldn’t even tell you how many stripes the flag had, or how many stars.
Our family is filled with military veterans. Many of our friends and in-laws were also in the service. One uncle retired a full colonel. Another uncle's life was destroyed when his body was filled with shrapnel as he floated down in a parachute above the beach in Normandy.That was absolutely beautiful! It gave me chills. That dying patriots struggled to hold the flag up as British guns were steeled on them, fighting with their last breath to not let the flag fall.
