…..A few activists and journalists are saying the Star Spangled Banner should no longer be the national anthem because it was written by slave owner Francis Scott Key – and suggest John Lennon’s Imagine as a replacement…..historian Daniel E. Walker and Kevin Powell think it’s a good idea….who are these two guys?….do some homework…..anyway,….the anthem…..the first verse glorifies war….something America has proven they are very good at…..the second verse….which none of you know….glorifies…..slavery….yeah, do some more homework…..now the song Imagine?…..it’s a beautiful message…and written by a Brit…..and that would definitely piss off a lot of Americans…..except those who know John Lennon was definitely against war, violence….and for racial equality….Francis Scott Key was a slave owner….who came up with the anthem while he watched Fort McHenry withstand a British bombardment….and what inspired him was the American flag flying over the harbor….that didn’t stop him from defending the rights of slave owners though…..and he believed African Americans should return to Africa…..right, as if we asked to come vacation here in the first place…..so here’s the deal….there are many who love and respect the song….and the flag….so, should it be changed?…..I don’t know…..would it matter right now?…..I don’t know…..I do know removing the confederate flag is a great step…..using “Imagine” as a replacement is the wrong song right now…..come on, look at us….look at the country right now……and listen to the lyrics….nah,…..then again if….and that’s a “BIG IF”…..it was decided we needed a new theme song….what would it be?…..Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit”….to let us “Never Forget”……. “Sweet Home Alabama” for the confederate flag lovers…..Richard Wagner’s “The Valkyrie” for the racist hate groups because he was Hitler’s favorite composer……2Pac’s “Me Against the World”……because that’s basically how a lot of African-Americans feel right now….. “God Save the Queen” for LGBTQ…..and the religious people….how about “Amazing Grace”…..oh, wait….we can’t take that one because the guy who wrote it….was a slave owner….what about….. “Oh Happy Day”…..nah…..not too many people are happy now days…..something from….. “The Fania-All Stars?”…..because that band was filled with different Latin heritages……we could choose a song from the band called…. “Redbone”….OH SHUT UP…..that’s not racist because everyone in the band was Native American….back in the day if you were black and could pass as a white person…..you were called a “Redbone”….ok, what about this idea…. “IF” changing the anthem idea pops up….let’s follow in Spain’s footsteps……their anthem is just a song…..no words….just a song….and then America can spend the next century fighting over who should compose it.
TREVOR NOAH SAID IT PERFECTLY….. “You might want to upgrade to Zoom Premium…..because we’re going to be talking to those little boxes for a while”…..COVID-19 just shifted into second gear….and many people still don’t get it…..and if they still don’t, here’s a hint….Houston, Texas ICU beds are 97% full…..and three out of ten patients have the virus…..the spike in that city is so bad…..they’re sending patients to children hospitals….. “STUPID” held rallies in Tulsa and Arizona…..two areas who saw a rise in COVID-19 cases….and many people did not wear a mask or took safety precautions….once the rallies were over….all went their separate ways….some on his staff and secret service agents were tested for the virus…..hint, hint…..this bug is real and it’s spreading……UPDATE:…..all of the ICU beds in Houston’s largest hospital are full….and at least 18 members of a Texas family have the coronavirus after a surprise birthday party….and this virus is out of control in the US……hint, hint.
I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THIS…..J. Marion Sims was a gynecologist in the 1800s who purchased Black women slaves and used them as guinea pigs for his untested surgical experiments…..he repeatedly performed genital surgery on Black women WITHOUT ANESTHESIA because according to him, “Black women don’t feel pain.”….despite his inhumane tests on Black women, Sims was named “the father of modern gynecology”…and his statue currently stands right outside of the New York Academy of Medicine…..yeah, as far as I’m concerned…..you can rip that one down.
ANYONE REMEMBER THIS…..BESIDES ME?….. In May 1985 Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a West Philly neighborhood…..specifically on the house of a Black liberation group called MOVE, killing 11 members, including 5 children, destroying 61 homes and leaving 250 people homeless……on the day of the bombing, the police were sent to the MOVE house to execute arrest warrants for several members…..when those inside the house refused to respond, the authorities decided to take extreme measures…..they somehow justified the use of military grade weapons, despite their knowledge of children on the premises.……500 police officers shot 10,000 rounds of ammo with automatic weapons at the house. …..the police commissioner then ordered to bomb the house, with a helicopter dropping a satchel bomb, a demolition device typically used in combat, onto the roof.….after detonation, officials let the fire spread throughout the neighborhood…..and guess what?….no one was ever prosecuted……I REPEAT, no one was ever prosecuted…..some people think….because of George Floyd’s murder….and the resurgent of Black Lives Matter….African-Americans are fed up of the abuse by those who are supposed to protect and serve….no….we were pissed off and fed up long before that.
AND IT’S OFFICIAL AMERICA…..As of July 1st…y’all cannot come to Europe….they do not want any Americans coming across the pond….no Tapas in Spain…..no pasta in Italy….no beer in Germany….. no croissants in France….no weed in Amsterdam…..no chocolate in Switzerland…..no waffles in Belgium….no beaches in southern Portugal…..no disgusting breakfast in England….therefore, Europe is saying…..keep your asses home…..and keep that virus with ya….you want to know why they might have a reason for not letting you in?…..here’s a hint for you…..the country is not taking the virus seriously…..the CDC is out right saying….the virus is out of control….and American and United Airlines have ended social distancing and will fill their flights to their full capacity….so….NEIN….NADA…..NON….NEE….NO….NAO…NIE….NEM…EI…NE….NA….stay home!…..and don’t worry….. “STUPID” is working on a cure….while he plays golf this weekend in Virginia…..and the U.S. COVID-19 infection rate reached 43,000 in a single day…..but one thing if for sure….. “STUPID” finally received the wall he wanted….unfortunately, the world build it around him….and he’s the one trapped behind it…..anyone notice “STUPID” has not said one word….to refute the New York Times article saying. ….Putin was offering bounties to the Taliban for the killing of American and allied soldiers?…..if you’re a “STUPID” supporter…..with a son serving in Afghanistan….and you read this article….and you still support and believe in him….yes, you are a special kinda stupid!
