Newsweek

quote:

The California chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is demanding that Congress get rid of the national anthem for lyrics it says are anti-black—the latest race-based dispute over the country’s main secular hymn. The group is pushing two resolutions through Congress that would do away with the national anthem—which they say is “one of the most racist, pro-slavery, anti-black songs in the American lexicon”—and find a replacement.


EDIT : I didn't make this shite up, so I'm assuming the downvotes are intended for the NAACP, not me.

This coming from an organization that would lose its shite if you called them their name instead of their acronym.

Anything with the word "National" is under attack from the Left.

Is that really what NAACP stands for? I guess I should have done some research before donating to it. I was told that the second “A” stood for “Assassination”. J/K
