Left-wingers DEMAND ‘change the racist National Anthem!’

November 22, 2017


“On the Holmes Front, with Frank Holmes”

The California chapter of the NAACP has demanded that the National Anthem be replaced, because it’s racist – and they want an entire U.S. state to pass a law condemning it.

California NAACP President Alice Huffman said the Star Spangled Banner is “one of the most racist, pro-slavery, anti-black songs in the American lexicon.”

“It’s racist!” she told local KOVR-TV. “It’s anti-black people!”

The NAACP chapter will try to get California legislators to pass a law saying the National Anthem is filthy, racist hate speech when the legislature is back in session next January.

“The song is wrong!” Huffman said in Jesse Jackson-style rhyme.

They want politicians to pass another law honoring former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for starting the “take a knee” trend. GQ Magazine named him “Citizen of the Year” for starting the “take a knee” trend that sank the NFL’s ratings.

He might as well get awards from fashion magazines. He’s not getting any awards on the field.

The NAACP also wants California to reprimand Donald Trump for saying he’d like to see the NFL fire any “son of a b*tch” who doesn’t stand for the flag and the anthem.

The worst thing isn’t the NAACP’s display of pure hatred for their own country. It’s that people are already being fired for defending the U.S.A.

The Left has ramped up its assault on every patriotic symbol in America, like –

The Pledge of Allegiance.

In March, a public school district fired a teacher for telling one of his students to stand up for the pledge to the flag.

Vince Ziebarth, a driver’s ed teacher at Eisenhower High School in a suburb on the south-side of Chicago, saw one of his students sitting through the Pledge. He told the student, Shemar Cooper, he should stand – or not ride in his car for driver’s ed.

Kids at the high school get to choose which of the 8 driver’s ed cars they want to ride in. So, if Shemar wanted to disrespect the Pledge, he could have chosen any of the other 7 cars.

Instead, Shemar went home and told his mommy. “That’s bullying!” said his mad mother, Kelley Porter Turner. “He violated my son’s First Amendment rights.”

….Which exist because of the men who died for the flag.

The school fired the patriot teacher on the spot.

It turns out they suspended another teacher for telling Shemar to stand for the Pledge earlier in the school year.

That’s pretty ironic for a school that’s named for the president who added the words “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance.

But the fake news media is constantly ginning up fake history to make people hate America.

The Washington Post recently ran an article saying the Pledge of Allegiance is racist – because its author wanted immigrants to love America!

Francis “Bellamy’s pledge advanced the goal of assimilation,” the Post complained in an article on “The Ugly History of the Pledge of Allegiance.”

Bellamy said he wrote the Pledge to “mobilize the masses to support primary American doctrines” and “true Americanism.”

How deplorable!

“Bellamy’s Pledge of Allegiance was, at its core, designed as an instrument of white nationalism,” the Post said.

Really? White nationalism against white immigrants from Italy, Greece, and Poland? (Are there any paler people than the Polish??)

But when the George Soros-funded haters aren’t hating the Pledge, they’re hating –

The American Flag.

Since the 2016 election:

Hampshire College in Massachusetts removed the American flag from campus after the election of Donald Trump.
Students agitated the University of California, Irvine to ban the U.S. flag from a campus office. A letter supporting them has almost 2,000 signatures, including dozens of professors.
Students at American University burned American flags while chanting “F— white America!” the day after the election.
Last Veteran’s Day, students at Brown University grabbed flags flying to honor vets and tore them, ripped them in half, or threw them in the trash.
Students at St. Mary’s College of Maryland shredded an American flag two days after the election.

As President Trump might say, this is “sad.” But these people don’t just hate our patriotic symbols – they hate

America itself.

Kanye West said last November, “We live in a racist country – that is a fact.” That’s exactly how a lot of Americans see this country – racist, sexist, evil, not worth defending.

This is just plain wrong, and every patriotic American had better stand up against it, no matter how corny it looks to some people.

Rise for the anthem and the pledge. Salute when you see the flag.

Teach your kids, and grandkids, the true history of America, the land of liberty.

Tell them about how patriots created the finest, freest country in the world.

Tell them how we fought with ourselves to free the slaves and to give that freedom to more and more people through our history.

I can't figure out why the National Anthem is considered by some to be racist. Really, what is racist about the anthem? The Pledge of Allegiance should be a required practice in schools. Pledging allegiance to one's country is an honor.

There's nothing whatever about it. Some people have far too much free time these days.

When Francis Scott Key originally penned what is now known as the National Anthem, he entitled it the "Defense of Fort M’Henry." It was not until 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson signed an executive order did it become our Nation's Anthem.
I guess it is the third verse that the blacks take offense, it contains the word "slave" but it also contains the word hirling...encompassing anyone hired to do a job.... and what else, it said that neither could find refugee from the death surrounding them. The last verse is the one that is often forgotten:

Here is the last verse penned by Sr. Francis Key:

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto – “In God is our trust,”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And the verse they take exception to:

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

As you can see, the Anthem is not racist, only put in poetic words what was witnessed during this battle.

Hireling and slave most likely referenced the mercenaries that the British were in the habit of using against Americans. One of the main reasons we went to war was the British habit of stopping American merchant ships and impressing sailors on the spurious claim they were British deserters. A great many of these"British deserters" were free American blacks who had never set foot in England. Many died in the slavery that the English called "impressment."

Loki... I have missed you! Anyway, if you read Key's words he makes it quite clear that he was talking about mercenaries hired by the Brits. I was not clear on that point, thank you for the added information!

Loki Loc: Georgia

Why thank you. I am a new Loki. Did you see my new avatar? No more truculence, and lack of patience with those unfortunates whom I previously referred to as "Hobbit Dancers." You see, I realize now that OPP has rules about that sort of thing, so from now on I will just report them, those dratted old meanies.

Boo_Boo Loc: Jellystone

Loki.... okay, a new you with a "family friendly" avatar! It may be just me, but how long do you think you can endure the insanity and foulness before you are driven to respond to some of less literate individual in terms they can understand? It is not that I do not believe your sincerity, it is because I know how dotty our Hobbit Dancers are in communicating.

Loki Loc: Georgia

I have been assured I should simply report the old meanies.

Boo_Boo Loc: Jellystone

Was that assurance also associated with a "or else?"

Loki Loc: Georgia

The new Loki does not kiss and tell.
