Many are stating that “The Star-Spangled Banner” needs to be taken down and to not be sung anymore.
They say it is a racist song. Everyone who believes that is a fucking moron. Let me give you a little history lesson – “The Star-Spangled Banner” was originally created by Francis Scott Key in 1814 after he was an eye witness to the Maryland Fort bombing during the war between the United States and Great Britain that started in 1812 . Now the reason for our war back then had nothing to do with slavery or racism. The war started because Great Britain attempted to restrict U.S. trade, the Royal Navy’s impressments of American seamen and America’s desire to expand its territory. So, this is racist? ... Reeaally? “The Star-Spangled Banner” was originally named “The Defense of Fort McHenry”. Key was inspired because after all the destruction caused by the bombings, what stood left was our American Flag, as said in the lyrics “And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.” This is a song of hope that our Flag was still there and that it will continue to be there – that the American people will and continue to still be there. Key’s poem was published in the paper and later given the tune from “To Anacreon in Heaven” by composer John Stafford Smith. The people started calling it “The Star-Spangled Banner” and in 1916 President Woodrow Wilson announced that it will be played at all events. Then later on in 1931 President Herbert Hoover signed a congressional act making the song the official National Anthem of the United States. That is the history of “The Star-Spangled Banner”. Maybe if all the liberal left-wing, black-lives matter dumbass’s opened a history book they would have learned a thing or two. More on the subject of history, I am appalled at all these statues that are being torn down. The liberals have a list of about 16 statues to be removed. That is disgraceful. Here are statues that have been around longer than all of us – that’s history – our beautiful statues that are just thrown to shit – statues of people, of war heroes that are thrown out like garbage. These people are the reason why we are here today, why we have such a great country, and they want to destroy it. You can’t erase history and we are not going to relive it either so why must we destroy what has gotten us here today? One of the statues they want destroyed is Mount Rushmore. It is located in South Dakota at the Black Hills National Forest. Mount Rushmore has been there for 76 years, completed in 1941. The 400 something workers and sculptor Gutzon Borglum started the project in 1927; it took them 14 years to complete. That’s a long freaking time! The faces that millions of tourists go and see are of our first President of The United States: George Washington, our 16th President who paved the way to abolish slavery: Abraham Lincoln, our 3rd President who is the author of the Declaration of Independence: Thomas Jefferson and last put not least our 26th President who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his negotiations to end the Russo-Japanese War and spearheaded the beginning of construction on the Panama Canal: Theodore Roosevelt. None of what these men did for our country were about slavery – granted yes they owned slaves but that was how things were back then – it’s over now and for the ones that say they are “oppressed” because of it – Shut your fucking idiotic mouths because you were not there back then and did not feel the same feelings they felt – I am Jewish and Irish both of my ancestors were slaves – I will never know what it is like to be a slave and neither will you. I can give a history lesson on all the statues they want taken down and debunk the reasons for the removals but frankly I do not have enough time. Maybe my next article, but I will leave you with this: It has gone way too far with pulling the race card – it’s enough. I would like my children, my grandchildren and my great grandchildren to be able to see right in front of them the history of America and that will not happen if you idiots don’t cut it out. And many more people are right with me. With all this racism against whites, blacks, Hispanics and everyone else – soon enough there will be no race and no people. Keep trying to destroy America and I will keep trying to save it and our history.
