Pretty insightful considering he didn’t know how shitty Africa actually was/is or how successful they are in Asia to back up that claim.

frick it, let’s replace the anthem. I’m sure we can find some lyrics that make everyone happy.

Honestly, did anyone here expect she’d look like anything other than this?



We are letting the losers of our society dictate policy. High school rejects and wrist cutters are dictating the direction of our culture and I’m done listening to these frickers that we should still be making fun of.

I blame the anti-bullying movement.

Let's just do them all a favor and ship them off to another country. A win win for both sides.

They should have replaced it in the 90's when America's taste in music was better.

Now the song will be commissioned to Lil Baby.

So much to digest...

quote:

problematic iconography — ranging from Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben to even the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee car and country band Lady Antebellum’s name




quote:

“a distinct and inferior race of people, which all experience proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community.”


Was he wrong?

Afro-Latinx




quote:

"The Star-Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key, who was literally born into a wealthy, slave-holding family in Maryland,” explains Powell. “He was a very well-to-do lawyer in Washington, D.C., and eventually became very close to President Andrew Jackson, who was the Donald Trump of his time, which means that there was a lot of hate and violence and division

Liberals told us none of this would happen back when they first started taking down statues.

Personally I thought she'd weigh at least 80 more pounds.

Also the British National Anthem sucks with “God Save the Queen”. Replace it with the tune of Nimrod and add lyrics that either talk about Dunkirk or Normandy.
