Black National Anthem

racer-x · 7/3/08, 5:10 PM

Did anyone here the new black National Anthem that the lady sang at a event earlier this week? It is OUR COUNTRYS MUSIC with all the words altered!! If this is going to be a trend it would be nice to know it up front, so i will not have to attend any of those events.:thumbsdown:
Is it just me or does it feel that every day we wake up our great country is slipping a little farther away from us?:headbang

I agree about our country slipping away little by little but, do you have any links to this event, or know what event it was???? I hadn't heard this until now.

There is also a Moutain Dew commercial that uses the National Anthem music 'in vain'!! It makes me so mad when people mis use it!:thumbsdown:
No, I haven't heard about what you are talking about but I sure don't like the sounds of it!

Comparably bad to Steven Tyler's version.

Well, all I can say is that, 30 years ago, anyone caught wearing a flag shirt/pants patch/jacket, in anything other than on official(police, fire, military) was blasted as unpatriotic.

Nowadays, a ton of folks dress in flag shirts, jackets, and the like, and no one gives it a second thought or a negative comment.....

Why are things so different now? - it's still the SAME flag!

Personally, this is a bit of an insult to the anthem, IMO, but she has the right to show her disrespect....just like flag-burners. I may not like what they do, but in a free country, they are exercising their right of expression.....

I must disagree with u about people wearing a flag shirt or jacket.
My dad bought me a flag shirt on my 18th birthday in 1973
My dad who is 83 now and was on the landing of D day in WWII
told me to wear it proud son. Never through it on the floor always
keep it hanging when not wearing it.

Sickening. Just one more entertainer "dissing" the country that gives her the freedom to trash it.
