Damn, now hockey.
There is no escape from liberal fascism.
And not one statue of Senator KKK Bryd has been removed in WV . How utterly awful and hypocritical!
Kate Smith was also close to the late Senator Jesse Helms, who convinced President Reagan to give Smith a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
What’s the offensive lyric?
Wait until they ban the airing of any movie made prior to 1990.
The original 1932 Weissmuller “Tarzan the ape Man” would give the Lunatics on the Left massive strokes.
I’m basically about done supporting big corporate sports with nonsense like this. I will watch the odd game on television, but if I lived in a big American city, you could forget about me bothering to buy their tickets or even accepting free ones from a workplace. And I certainly will not patronize their boutiques of over priced, cheap garbage that they put their stamp on.
I can think of many other activities that do not put money in the pockets of these idiots that are more enjoyable and personally fulfilling.
The reason they’re dumping her was because the composer of that song was Irving Berlin. With a name like that, he must have been a dirty Nazi, creating those racist white Nazionalist words! < /s >
From the article:
“The Flyers’ move comes just a day after the New York Yankees decided to pull Smith’s 1939 version of “God Bless America,” which the team has played at Yankee Stadium in the middle of the seventh inning for 18 years. The Yankees said in a statement they were investigating the claims of racism in some of Smith’s past songs, and while the team has not yet made a final conclusion, it was “erring on the side of sensitivity.”
In 1931, Smith recorded a song titled “That’s Why Darkies Were Born,” written by Ray Henderson and Lew Brown, which includes the lyrics, “Someone had to pick the cotton.” There is some question about the satirical nature of the song, which was also recorded by African-American artist Paul Robeson and referenced in the 1933 Marx Brothers film Duck Soup.
In the 1933 film Hello, Everbody! Smith sings “Pickaninny Heaven,” a song that directs “colored children” living in an orphanage to fantasize about a place with “great big watermelons.”
It’s unclear what prompted both the Flyers and the Yankees to act now, considering the songs have been around for more than 80 years”.
Wow. What will happen when abortion is recognized as the abject evil that it is.
When they’ve scrubbed history of everything, the only thing left will be rap music. Which is worse than everything they banned. The Left is madness.
WTF?!
It was the THIRTIES and those were the pop culture songs of the days.
Wonder when these handwringers will go after misogynistic rappers. Or go after the gang bangers and violence in Obama’s Chicago.
I follow the Flyers as little as possible, but I think I recall that they just traded away the one black player they had - Simpson, Simmons, somebody - that seems sort of racist to me......

Wait, we in philly have a hockey team?
Cultural genocide. They want to wipe out all references to western culture. They used charges such as “racist” or “homophobic” to scrub our history of anyone they do not approve of (which is any white christian).
The goal of the left is to delegitimize every aspect of American history before the civil rights movement.
That's why nearly every day someone finds some alleged racist aspect of American history which they insist must be exposed, denounced, and obliterated.
Pre-civil rights monuments, songs, traditions, laws et. al. have to be eliminated.
There mission is Search and Destroy.
ANAN: You realise what you have done? KIRK: Yes, I do. I've given you back the horrors of war. The Vendikans now assume that you've broken your agreement and that you're preparing to wage real war with real weapons. They'll want do the same. Only the next attack they launch will do a lot more than count up numbers in a computer. They'll destroy cities, devastate your planet. You of course will want to retaliate. If I were you, I'd start making bombs. Yes, Councilman, you have a real war on your hands.
