Would this stop all of the protesting and disrespect for our nation and flag? Is this the solution?

"Lift Every Voice and Sing"

Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us,
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers died
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forgot Thee,
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.

No. Is further division ever the solution for this particular problem?

Solution to racism equals segregation.

Good idea.

This isn't my idea. A "local" shite stirrer who is doing everything he can to stay relavant suggested this to his flock of sheep.

Only if you include the song Jimi Hendrix called "the national anthem":

Way too long, the game would never start!!!

Besides we have one now that had its roots in our early history and a time when America was really threatened and all peoples fought side by side.

I agree. I have learned, based upon my observations, that many black people today are prejudice and racist.

Much more so than white people. But no one wants to talk about that.

Next thing you know we will give them their own states to make a country. But no one in said country will have to work or pay taxes. They will just get a reparations check every month for the 75th percentile of American income. Provided by taxpayers of course

What happens if one happens to be mixed-race European, African, Asian and Native peoples?

We need MOAR anthems.

Or maybe let's ditch our English drinking song anthem and go with "America the Beautiful" (imo) so much better anyway and we can allege that it is to unite all persons of any and all origins because we all make America Beautiful.

Or some other bs so those of us who actually work (of all races) can get back to work.

Hi Fruit. What we need is for all SJWs to gather and come to a consensus about what would heal this country. ANYTHING else that is suggested will be decried as being insensitive, exclusionary and white male based. All other suggestions are whistling in the wind...

Oh no, by using the phrase "whistling in the wind", I inadvertently harmed those folks who can't whistle!!

:omg:

And then the Mexican anthem followed by the Chinese, then the Iranian and them the Canadian and then, and then, the Ole Miss rendition of Dixie. Does Isis have their own anthem?

That "anthem" is inappropriate. It does not mention gangsta's, bitches, ho's, blunts, mailbox money, or gettin' turnt.

If we are going to divide the country with two anthems, let's keep it real.

They are 13% of the population.....THE PRESIDENT IS BLACK...ALMOST VERY MAJOR CITY HAS A BLACK MAYOR..FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!Opportunity and representation are there....most of their issues are internal issues in their own race....they need to address that and quit bitching about how everyone else is holding them down. they dont get their own anthem....

AND, most importantly we are all AMERICANS. One Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all....

Get over the whiney arse bitching and start coming up with WORKABLE solutions.
