Singer subs 'black anthem' for 'Star Spangled Banner'

Topics: Political News and commentaries

... the obviously "Black Nationalist" singer must have mistakenly believed she was at an NAACP convention (or she's another Michelle Obama - type).

Some of the strongest reaction, however, came from Denver area residents who were participating in the forum page on the controversy at the Rocky Mountain News.

"Can you imagine what it would be like for whites if we had a 'white national anthem'?" speculated "Jan8." "I heard someone saying this had nothing to do with race? What?"

"Was she asked to sing the Black National Anthem? Obviously her color is more important to her than this country. Is it a 'black pride thing'? Is she trying to tell us she wished the U.S. were a black country?"

The newspaper reports said the singer explained she had decided months ago not to sing the "Star Spangled Banner" anymore.

The Post reported she was being interviewed by a Russian broadcaster who asked her what it was like to be American.

"And I realized I didn't feel like an American, and that bothered me a great deal," the singer said.

She said she feels like a foreigner sometimes.

The anthem was written by James Johnson and first performed more than a century ago. It marked nearly four decades of freedom for blacks in America. It now still appears in some church hymnals.

And these people think we should elect a Barack Hussein Obama to be president of the United States of America ?????
