It makes sense; after all, we celebrate MLK’s birthday as a holiday and we have affirmative action, where people are judged by the color of their skin....
Thank you. Listened to it.
They have their own “pledge of allegiance” too. Oh, and, of course, we can’t forget Tavis Smiley’s “State of the Black Union”.
“Where is Negroland”?
Right here my friend. Haven’t you noticed?
I think its a natural phenomenom called “El Negro”.
Its a climate problem.

You may know the history of the composer of the piece,John Newton (1725–1807), who had been the Captain of a British Slave ship, and was deeply effected by the inhumanity of the slave trade, gave up his ship, became a monk renunciate and wrote this song.He later became a clergyman.
He was active in the prohibition of British Slavery during the Disraeli era.
Amazing Grace is deeply connected to Black America . It connects black folks with the Scots.It is also the national anthem of Sottish America.It has not even a shadow of political fabrication about it.
What about this:

I like this one.Ray Charles.I wish he had been accompanied by the pipes.The arrangement would have been perfect to have the pipes instead of an orchestra.
>> Scottish American Natonal Anthem.
Oh really? Me Mum was born in the slums of Airdrie (west of Glasgow). I went tae first grade wi’ a Scots burr (both parents worked; grandparents stayed on the far-um wi’ me).
My anthem is, and me Mum’s was (R.I.P.) the Star Spangled Banner. Forget the tribal crap. May God bless the U.S.A.
LOL.
Whats wrong, you dont want a Black History month and an Irish History month, and A Native AMerican history month?
Each with its national anthem and federal grant programs?
Don’t believe in the cultural mosaic instead of the melting pot?
Run for office. I will vote for yah!
Negroid is as acceptable as Mongoliod or Caucasoid...what are we gonna do to satisfy folks?
change Spanish Negra?
or the river Niger?
or the nation Niger?
and so forth...and with many even notable blacks themselves calling each other ni$$er all the time and gloating over it while calling me racist if I used it ...I have rarely ..usually only in fights when i’m called MF cracker...
it’s gone beyond ridiculous...I was reared during the civil rights days in ground zero Dixie in a moderate civil rights family but all this garbage and the crime angle has ruined my former idealism...i now know what some of my ancestors feared...hell I’d have to be blind not to have seen all this unfold around me
reminds me of why schoolkids in public can’t talk CHRISTmas but they discuss the Christmas Day bomber.
My 10 year old ragged his lib teacher over this

Don't forget about the racially segregated "Congressional Black Caucus" keeping racism and racial preference alive on Capitol Hill.
