If Alice Huffman wants to live in a place that is not anti-black, why don't we all just chip in and buy her a one-way ticket to the country of her choice?

Maybe someplace in Africa? Or wherever else she wants to go.

It's at an accelerated rate now. In a few months we've gone from Civil War statues, to George Washington, and now the National Anthem. It won't be long before they say the Constitution is a racist document created by slave owners and it scares them to live under it. You know it's coming.


Yes, since Stampy Feet, the Left has become impatient. They are moving quicker than ever. It is alarming but their new pace is actually exposing them to scrutiny that glacier rate progressivism never has. It's as if the sniper becomes impatient and move through the camouflaging brush too fast. Now we see them and can resist....if we are not too lazy nor defeatist. It is time to take fresh courage and bear up against the pressure of Leftist progress. The advantage we have is that true principles when properly explained are appealing to the greater majority. We can move fast if we learn to effectively proselytize the value of true principles. First we learn them, then we evangelize them. But we have to actually do it!

How about....bear with me here, it's a little out-of-the-box and I think it'll satisfy everyone:

WE DON'T SING THE SECOND AND THIRD STANZA?

Shit, most people don't even know what a stanza is, let alone know that the Star Spangled Banner has several of them; Alice Huffman is among the many that just made a 'discovery'. Roll Eyes Hey Alice, when was the last time you heard the ENTIRE, the whole enchilada of the Star Spangled Banner sung?

It occurs to me that if Black Betty were our anthem, our pledge could be one three syllable word. BAMBALAM! Think of how expeditious that would be in home room. "Okay kids. Now repeat after me. BAMBALAM!"

In court: All rise......BAMABALAM!

I care only of the heart and soul.

Key never explained the verse. We have to consider what the words meant at the time.

"At the time Key was writing, the word “slave” (we’ll get to “hireling” in a minute) had long functioned in English as a wide-ranging epithet, hurled at persons of any and all colors, nationalities, and conditions of servitude or otherwise. Shakespeare, who barely mentioned America in his writings, used the word more than 180 times in his works. Fewer than a third of those references are in the plays set in Roman and Greek times, in which characters in the drama might be literal slaves. More often, Shakespeare’s characters — including Macbeth, Lear, and many of the kings in the history plays — use “slave” as an insult. (“O what a rogue and peasant slave am I!” says Hamlet, a prince, as part of a self-lacerating soliloquy.) Though often signifying low birth, these uses have no connection to color or — aside from the frequent use of the epithet to put down the French — to nationality. Still less do they connect to the institution of chattel slavery as found in the Americas."
http://www.nationalreview.com/...banner-racist-anthem

The easy one is "hireling." The British had a large number of mercenaries in their army. Much like the Hessian troops in the Revolutionary war."To Americans, while “slave” was both a common descriptive word and an epithet, “hireling” — especially in contexts of poetry and literature — ordinarily carried derogatory connotations. It meant someone such as a soldier, official, or laborer who served for money rather than from some more durable loyalty such as to family or nation. Yet another Robert Burns song, “Parcel of Rogues,” describes Scotland as having been sold out for “hireling traitor’s wages.” “Hireling and slave” is not an accidental pairing; the two words often occurred together as epithets.
http://www.nationalreview.com/...banner-racist-anthem

Then:
"The Star Spangled Banner lyrics “...and slave” is a direct reference to the British practice of Impressment (kidnapping American seamen and forcing them into service on British man-of war ships). This was a Important cause of the War of 1812"
http://ijr.com/2016/08/684228-...-really-bad-defense/

The British eventually recruited 6,000 slaves to fight for them. Using the revisionist view we get: "“Essentially,” says writer and academic Jason Johnson, “Francis Scott Key was happy to see former slaves, who had joined the British as part of their Colonial Marines, getting slaughtered and killed as they attempted to take Baltimore.”...
“The entire song sort of leads up to this point,” Johnson adds, “where he’s essentially saying to these terrible, ungrateful, black people, this is the consequence of standing up against the United States.”
“So it’s clearly racist; it’s clearly pro-slavery, but it’s pretty much in line with the kind of man that Francis Scott Key was.”
https://www.pri.org/stories/20...angled-banner-racist

A more reasoned view is:
""You have to put Key's views in context," Palmer says. "You can't look at the 19th century through the eyes of the 21st century. In 1814, slavery was everywhere in society. Most people thought that was a perfectly normal way for life to be."

So if Key "was an early and ardent opponent of slave trafficking," according to Leepson, it wouldn't necessarily strike his peers as inconsistent that he owned slaves himself.

What raised eyebrows was that Key also donated his legal services to some African-Americans who were fighting for their freedom under a 1783 law that prohibited slaveholders from other states from bringing their human chattel into Maryland to live. Key won several of those cases.

"It was rare for a white lawyer to do that," Leepson says. "That was a gutsy thing for him to do."

Didn't read the whole article, but I'm curious if she mentioned anything about the majority of rap "songs" that contain racist lyrics and what we should do about those.

Surely if we are going to censor music because something offends us, we can have ourselves a good old fashioned album burning party and get rid of all of them.

This is great! The crazy-ass leftists are accelerating their nutjobbery faster than non-nutjobs can get used to a new state of nuttidity (I just made that word up). Hopefully they'll soon overload sane people who might otherwise remain passive in the fact of their insanity, and there'll be even more push-back than we've seen already.

In context, isn't that line just talking shit about the enemy's army? That they can't get men to fight on their own will, just hired guns and slaves?

Change the national anthem to appease a group of race baiters? Not a chance in hell.

However, I wouldn't be adverse from changing it from "The Star Spangled Banner" to "America the Beautiful" solely on the basis of personal preference. I've always preferred the latter's lyrics and melody.

This has a nice ring to it, maybe jayzee could make it easy to dance to:

Oh Uganda! the land of freedom.
Our love and labour we give,
And with neighbours all
At our country's call
In peace and friendship we'll live.

That's going to be a tough nut for them to crack.

Millions of us here at one time or another took an oath to protect the Constitution. And "we the people" are armed.

Unfortunately, again thanks to liberal filth, the number of people serving and really appreciating what that means is shrinking while all of us who do appreciate the meaning are getting older. This garbage has always been in it for the long haul until recently when they've gone full on retard. But if we don't get a handle on better educating the next generations, the garbage may finally get their way.

And the flip side of that, which is never discussed, is the fact that without slavery most of the people complaing about the past would be squatting in a mud hut eating rice with their fingers and swatting flys in the heat.


They can't see the big picture because they're too busy generating outrage.
I had a friend who worked for the State Department and got posted to some African embassies. He said that after those "third world shitholes" he prayed every day to thank the Lord that his however many how great-grandparents got a free boat ride.
