There is ONE National Anthem for the USA. It is not Rap, it’s not Heavy Metal, it is not Techno, it sure as hell isn’t whatever the hell THIS bitch decided to sing.
At the start of the event Tuesday morning, City Council President Michael Hancock introduced singer Rene Marie to perform the national anthem.
Instead, she performed the song “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,” which is also known as the “black national anthem.”
Right, let me get this clear. She was hired to sing the National Anthem. You know, the one about the stars and stripes called the “Star Spangled Banner”. That’s the one she was hired to sing. Instead she sang a song known as the black national anthem. Pardon me, but when did we change it to one anthem being for each racial or ethnic group? Does that mean if asked to sing the national anthem I can stand up in Shea Stadium and sing Dixie? Does it mean that my mother can stand before congress and sing “Scotland the Brave” or “Auld Lang Syne”?
No, of course not. If someone who wasn’t a damned idiot stepped up and did something like this, we would be listed as “hateful oppressors” or other such nonsense. I really don’t understand where people get off with claiming that they suffer from racism and things of that nature when they take actions that are INFLAMMATORY.
Of course, she felt like she was utterly correct in what she did.
When asked if she would apologize for what happened she said, “No I do not.”
Actions like this can best be summed up in one simple and easy statement.
Willful and blatant ignorance.
