Wanted to vent, again. Another moment of the black National Anthem

[meketrefe]

What about a rainbow national song?
We could use the wheels on the bus music that everyone already knows and add some all inclusive, no offensive metro trendy, feel good, coca cola ad style letters to it.

I think it is mindsets not unlike yours which give rise to Black folks having an anthem, other than the American one.

I think people look to far into shit. I think people try to play psychologist to often.

 

[Xae289]

I took a look. I did not find a separate anthem for asian Americans or got Latino Americans.

Go figure??

Not exactly a Latino anthem, but there's a Spanish translation of the Star Spangled Banner. I was expecting some commie bullshit when I looked it up, but apparently it was commissioned by the government decades ago as a way for different ethnicities who didn't speak English yet to better integrate into the U.S. There are versions in a ton of different languages that were all made to be as close to the Anthem as lyrically possible while making sense in the target language and being singable.

Decent enough sentiment, but after listening to the Spanish, French, and German versions, they get a little clunky at times and don't have the same punch as the original. Pretty perfect, actually. Just like living in the U.S., it can be great no matter what language you speak, but you're really missing out on the full experience if you don't learn English.

Time to take a knee OUT.

Won’t be long before they start each meeting with an acknowledgment that they are on stolen indigenous land.

Shit. I had to do that at a meeting at work a few weeks ago. Apparently I owe the Lene Lenape tribe an apology or something. Or maybe a bottle of firewater.

Looks like there's another troll in town - any relation to SonOfSun?

And my considered guess is that you're just another Gray Boy playing the race card.

"Rap"??!! - Seriously???

 

[Jmac00]

I think if I hear a "black" national anthem, Im going to take a knee or maybe just drop my pants and take a shit

Baby shark would appropriate also.

 

[fresch]

Don't you see the hypocrisy on wanting a national anthem specifically for and to target a demographic based on their skin color? Isn't that in itself racist?

Should we have a white anthem? An Asian American anthem? An Irish american anthem? Where does it end?

The american national anthem is for EVERYONE, all skin colors, all religions, all ethnic ancestry. All american citizens. It's a unifying anthem for everyone. An anthem isn't supposed to separate people based on skin color. Come on.

Great you had to capitalise everyone !

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Great you had to capitalise everyone !

I was just typing on my phone. I didn't change anything that's what my phone did automatically.

Long ago blacks wanted to mix with whites, people like Joe Biden opposed that but it came to pass anyway. Years go by and we now have an integrated society with black mayors, governors, even a president! Yet blacks continue to separate themselves from the rest of society by calling themselves African-Americans and wanting there own "black wall street" "black dollars" and black only collage dorms. That is not only racist but also insulting to the country that has given them so much! I don't want to hear anymore bullshit about how "whitey" is keeping you down or about slavery it's all in the past and we're all AMERICAN'S so STFU and go to work earn some money and continue to do better so your children will have a better life.

I just listened to an interview with the yard that is running in Georgia. Someone asked him about God and churches.

He said he was glad that more black churches were rising up and that "his" people have rejected the god of white people.

Wow!

 

[pshift]

We (USA) are going in many different directions, most notably backwards. We need to learn not to repeat history, separate ourselves, and respect others opinions.

 

[Saltwater60]

All you have to do is watch the news, look through social media, or browse the selections on Netflix or Amazon prime. This stuff is getting ripped down our throats at every turn. We’re done. The white, straight, conservative man is done. Hell I’ll ever say women in that category are toast too.

 

[Bigfoot]

Next it will be demanded that every letter has to be capitalized... BLACK
And after that it will be something else. Mabey bold text required.

As with most things these days. Every action by the left is a stepping stone.
One step is to set up the next step. And then the next step. A work in progress.
A slippery slope if you will.

It's clear that that those involved do not want equality. They already have that.
They want to dominate, they want retribution, they want to make Whitey to pay
for what happened over 158+ years ago.

The part that stands out to me is that the majority of folks I know, and dare I say the majority of America as a whole reject this hatred and identity politics. Balkinization is a goal and product of a powerful and vocal minority, but a minority that holds the strings of power in the propoganda machines. May the dirty mockingbird MSM and social media clowns be damned to Hell for what they have done to this republic.

All part of cancel culture. We were at Lowes yesterday to get a few things to finish our bathroom remodel and my wife wanted to look through the Christmas decorations. She use to have a plastic Santa that had a light inside and the years got the best of it. They had some there that were a couple feet taller. Seen them from across the store. Got over to them and won't ya know, they were black Santas. Not that we're racist or anything, but black Santas? My wife was pretty pissed, nothing like trying to completely change tradition. I don't do Christmas but she needs it to keep her spirits up with everything she's going through so I try to humor her.
She's not very happy. They could at least have a choice.

 

[fresch]

I don't mind black santa, black Jesus, people like to see things that they relate to. I have a problem with forcing it down my gullet. Media, do gooders, self haters.

 

[FrankenCub]

We have been at Lowes often recently, only offering a black Santa might as well be forcing the idea down our gullet.

 

[fresch]

Didn't read it As only, sorry, could be all the White ones sold and only the santas of color, colored, black, negro, African-American, never mind.

 

[S&W Fan]

I agree but, it was probably all that they Had left because everyone looking for a plastic Santa logically bought the White Santa.

 

[FrankenCub]

Nah, every time we go to Lowes, which has been quite often, haven't seen that type of racist white Santa.

Divide and conquer is a time tested strategy that the leftist elite is using very effectively.

It's popular because it works.

The only counter is to unite our supporters and divide theirs. We need to make it clear that all are accepted on the right as long as they denounce collectivism and promote liberty, and they consider themselves American first and foremost and forgo the tribalism of the left.

Then we need to drive wedges between all the identity groups on the left.

I do. Who about a black character being made into a white person? Would that be accepted? My issue is it’s only one way. Making white traditions black. If we do it we’re racists or appropriating their culture. Fuck I like tacos and everything in a tortilla shell is a taco to me. I guess that makes me racist.

How come the green olives are displayed in glass jars but the the black olives have to be locked up in a can?

You can find this shit anywhere.

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

Everyone(almost), even my job, constantly push DIVERSITY. It is everywhere. I always ask what happened to EQUALITY? When did this change?

 

[holdover]

A black national anthem , infers a black nation. Period. Its a rejection of Our national anthem, and is Anti American on its face. By the exclusion of other race's it is, in itself racist . FUCK THEM AND their black National anthem.

Lets see how a white national anthem goes over at an NBA game.
