Liberal pundit wants ‘racist’ US national anthem replaced 25 Jun, 2020 15:38 Get short URL Donald and Melania Trump listen to the Star Spangled Banner at the NASCAR Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Florida, February 16, 2020 © Reuters / Erin Scott 22 Follow RT on Across the US, symbols that stood for hundreds of years are in the process of being destroyed and erased in the name of progress. Some say the venerable ‘Star Spangled Banner’ is next on the chopping block. Pundits laughed when rioters in San Francisco toppled a monument to Union General and President Ulysses S. Grant, along with Francis Scott Key, the lyricist behind the US’ national anthem, ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ Either the vandals were clueless, or as Fox News’ Laura Ingraham tweeted, “they hate America – all of it.” ALSO ON RT.COM‘They hate America’: BLM protesters earn scorn for tearing down President Grant & national anthem lyricist statues Ingraham’s tweet may have been closer to the truth. Key’s most famous work, whose stanzas ring out before the Superbowl and at the raising and lowering of military colors, is now up for reappraisal. In a column on Thursday, Yahoo Journalist Lindsey Parker suggested that it “might be time to finally replace ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ with a new national anthem.” Citing Key’s support for slavery (he prosecuted abolitionists as a lawyer), she recommended, based on interviews with activists, that the anthem go the way of Aunt Jemima and General Lee, and be consigned to the dustbin of history. As for a replacement, Parker suggests ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing,’ a gospel number dubbed the “the Negro national hymn” by the NAACP in 1919. John Lennon’s socialist paean ‘Imagine’ was also suggested as a more fitting, woke-ified replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 'Raciss' is a fake leftist propaganda term invented to beat-down white people with. The whole concept of it is assinine and unconstitutional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
