Francis Scott Key Was A Racist...Let's Change The National Anthem

I wish we could change it to “America the Beautiful” and be done with it. It’s a much better song for an anthem.

OP, eat a bowl of hot dicks.

And America the Beautiful was written by a lesbian. I'm all for the substitution.

"God Bless the USA" is more fitting to the country that it has become today.

And here's a thought, the National Anthem is sung before sporting events, other than the Olympics, as TRADITION.

Because Trump has totally fucked all when it comes to tradition, I say we move to have America the Beautiful sung instead.

Enough.

Starting with the execrable OP.

I vote for this.

Leave it to the woketards to try to cancel a song whose had many famous renditions by black singers over the years.

The National Anthem is racist and violent.

America The beautiful is much more representative of an inclusive citizenry.

I look forward to black singers having many future famous renditions of ATB.

I vote for Vogue as the national anthem.

I think the national anthem should be Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land". No god stuff and easy to sing.

Guthrie's song is good. But he so WHITE and MALE!

How bout Twisting USA

If we're going to consider "race music", R12 -- Chuck Berry's "Back In The USA":

Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day

Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the USA

Only this can replace it, to heal the wounds of racial injustice!

Let's find a national anthem that Roseanne can sing!

Tulsa's team in the semi-pro National Premier Soccer League has announced that Oklahoma native Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" will replace the National Anthem at the team's home events. The team's co-owner Sonny Dalesandro stated:

[quote] “From our beginning, we have developed a culture of inclusion and acceptance at Tulsa Athletic. We live in a country that allows us to freely speak our voice. We utilize this right as a club to continually try and improve our team and community. We believe ‘This Land Is Your Land’ not only captures a powerful patriotic sentiment, but that it does so in a far more inclusive way. The song speaks to this country being built and shared by every person of every race, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. It represents a future Tulsa Athletic is committed to striving for.”

America the Beautiful contains the word " God" and is , therefore, unacceptable.

How can we abandon the SSB. Go to 1:05.
