Is the National Anthem Racist?

[Asclepias]

Everything you named was either a homicidal maniac, a traitor, a racist, or created by a racist. How did you manage that?

If you can make that a central theme of the Democrat Party before the 2018 elections, you'll have my eternal thanks.

How am I going to do that if I am not a democrat?

Keep talking about it...you've got Lakohta on your bandwagon already...and s/he is definitely a democrat.

Washington, Jefferson and the National Anthem are racist and oppressive, just like those statues of Confederate Generals and Battle flags.

Super Majority, here we come.

Not for long. You'll be out next election. Bank on it even if I have to vote Dem.

As if you weren't voting Dem all along.

This fight is a loser, as is the transgender stuff. The more we talk about it, the better it is for Republicans.

So the long this stays in the headlines, the better. Trump knows it.

Missouri is electing a Senator in 2018...which way does this National Anthem fight push that election?

How about in West Virginia, Indiana, North Dakota and Montana...or Nevada...the ONLY Republican in a Senate race in 2018.

So...keep up the good work.

I will keep up the good work. Thats how Obama got elected.....twice

 

[Asclepias]

A poem/song celebrating freedom from bondage and tyranny is a celebration of slavery??

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

And a lot of stupid people post online

Its also celebrating killing ex slaves. Looks like youre the stupid one.

Beyond the Debate Over Colin Kaepernick

The continuing refusal by the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to stand during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games has set off a debate about patriotism, protest and professional sports. But it has also raised another fraught question: Is our national anthem itself racist?

The journalist Jon Schwarz, writing in The Intercept, argued yes, denouncing the lyrics, written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812, as “a celebration of slavery.” How could black players, Mr. Schwarz asked, be expected to stand for a song whose rarely sung third stanza — which includes the lines “No refuge could save the hireling and slave/From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave” — “literally celebrates the murder of African-Americans”?

It could certainly be interpreted as racist. What do you think?

Of course its racist. You would have to do a lot of mental gymnastics in order to convince yourself it wasnt.

Or you could just read the song.

Asclepias, your entire worldview is Negros are total fail because of Whitey. So now you are saying Negro soldiers back in the day were more free and intelligent than today's obese, welfare, ghetto, low IQ Negro? I do not disagree that Negroes of previous generations were more intelligent than today's savages. But that is a result of inbreeding at the projects biologically.

Hey Snouter you forgot whites are more inbred and genetically recessive than Blacks. Matter of fact white guys are known for having sex with their moms/sisters or is it sisters/moms? Well you get my drift. Your genes are really messed up. Even your favorite news station reported on it. I'm afraid in order to keep you guys around youre going to have to convince whites to stop having sex with their family members and seek out other races like a lot of white women do already.

We wont have to wait and see. Take my word for it. You better start working on the election after next.

Forum rules don't allow monetary betting between posters IIRC.

BUT...I think we can safely wager donations to charitable organizations...

Trump hasn't changed since the Central Park Five. He's still racist.

Fuck you dick head!

If he has a problem with only white racists,
then his problem is with white people!

Like, only white people are racists...
Black people are racist too

Besides, that's his problem...
you can't make people not hate...
it'll never happen, he'll be kneeling to his grave

If he hates racism so much,
maybe he'd like to advocate for abolishing affirmative action

I don't have a problem with black people,
I have a problem with ignorant, lazy ass,
ghetto trash and gang banger thugs, ...
in other words, n1ggers

It has become much more than just about Colin Kaepernick. It has also opened my eyes. I originally just thought Kaepernick was being a jerk, but now - not so much.

Progressives need to take CA and leave

The U.S. Flag is racist if you use your way of thinking... Hell everything about America is racist to those like you...

So don't stand, salute or acknowledge anything that has to do with America because all of it is racist in your eyes and don't deny it because you know what I have written to be true!

 

[Bruce_T_Laney]

You should get that published.

Then Trump will win 35 States in 2020, instead of 30.

Whites are fed up with this entire racist crap. The Illegals, the Beaners,
the Jaboni's...the fuckin' ragheads. The whining of every frickin' one
of them is not being tolerated anymore.

We're done with that shit.

Get used to it. Whites will soon be a minority.

And yet will still hold power...

Whites are the minority in Texas and California and yet still gain political power, so let cut the shit your dream of white being enslaved and suffering is never happening...

Or you could just read the song.

He doesn't care about the words or the meaning of the song. In his small mind, the song is racist because Francis Scott Key was a slave owner. It takes a mental midget to make such an ignorant conclusion, but America today is full of such mindless midgets.
