Now the mob turns their attention to The Star Spangled Banner

It must now go. Time to cancel, time to destroy it, time to drag it through the mud.

Why it might be time to finally replace 'The Star-Spangled Banner' with a new national anthem

In an increasingly anti-racist era when problematic iconography — ranging from Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben to even the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee car and country band Lady Antebellum’s name — is being reassessed, revised or retired, America’s national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” seems to be striking a wrong note.

Last week, protesters in San Francisco toppled a statue of the song’s composer, Francis Scott Key, a known slaveholder who once said that African Americans were “a distinct and inferior race of people, which all experience proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community.” This week, Liana Morales, an Afro-Latinx student at New York’s Urban Assembly School for the Performing Arts, refused to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at her virtual graduation ceremony, explaining to the Wall Street Journal, “With everything that’s happening, if I stand there and sing it, I’m being complicit to a system that has oppressed people of color.” Instead, Morales performed “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” a hymn widely considered to be the “Black national anthem.”

I prefer America The Beautiful to go first.

Most of these morons are millennialturds. Are we going to let this keep on going to a population of adults who still have a F diaper on their ass????

 

[Auld Phart]

I agree.

My vote is for God Save the Queen.

Notice that some places are opening-up more on July 6. Hmmm? Why not July 3 so that people can enjoy their Independence Day weekend better. Yeah, I think we can figure that one out.

Shot down.

America was never great, or beautiful.

I would not be the least surprised to see these fools propose the anthem of the federated states of Russia as its replacement

 

[DigitalDrifter]

And these same people will celebrate the thousands of Rap songs filled with violent, misogyny, racial slurs, that actually do genine damage to our country.

The main problem with national anthems is they are stuffy and all sound the same....

Sometimes called Smith & Wesson, other times Colt 1911. When nothing else will work.

But, but but... its only confederate statues! the good liberals here on USMB said. You RWers are just over reacting.

everything they want to tear down can be explained away as just some little thing that is really not that important but it does add up. The revolutionary will never stop because they dont know anything else. They sure as hell arent going to start a business. They only know how to tax them heavily or burn them down.

We're in the beginings of a cultural revolution. I hope your happy with the results

Can't touch this!

If all these little woke anarchists really hate America and everything about it so much, then why don't they freakin' LEAVE?

It's becoming more apparent by the day and new ridiculous demand that there are FOREIGN POWERS at work here, enemies of America.

The fight for America is on, and it's time to fight back, in any shape, way or form.

It is not up to me to make the change which is inevitable because there is no constant in human societal evolution. I am happy because I prefer to be...
