I just think they used a special Christian song for commercial purposes.

Mark 9:38-40

Does the University of Phoenix believe that "Amazing Grace" is a black woman?

That is absurd. I just watched the video. One would have to be a paranoid racist idiot to come to that conclusion.

Yes - and so I ask UofP. In whose name?

If I had put this ad together I would not have used a song about redemption by the blood of Christ to sell online classes, but other than that there’s nothing wrong with this ad, and your thread title is kind of bizarre, especially when the central figure of the ad is a white male.

Just not seeing a problem here.

So your answer would be no.

“Amazing Grace” was penned by the captain of a slave ship, who repented of his career after he found Christ.

The majority of it, yes.

One verse was not written by John Walker but was introduced to the public by Harriet Beecher Stowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin. The verse had been passed down by oral tradition in slave communities.

That verse?

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
Than when we first begun.

But did he have to pattern it after Oh Susanna?

Or was it the other way around?

“Show the world what they can DO.”

To use the preposition is its grammatically correct position would be somewhat awkward, so it would be better just to re-word it.

I am not usually picky, but we ARE talking about an institution of “Higher learning”. That was the irony.

I think I heard Prince Charles pose that very question.
