No Use Being One If You Cannot Act Like One
Singer Opts for 'Black National Anthem' Over 'Star-Spangled Banner' Wednesday, July 02, 2008 A jazz singer shocked some Denver residents after replacing the words to the national anthem with those of the "Black National Anthem" during the annual State of the City address this week. Rene Marie was asked to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper delivered the annual address on Tuesday. Instead, she sang the lyrics of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" — a hymn commonly referred to as the "Black National Anthem" — to the tune of the national anthem, MyFOXColorado.com reported. "If anyone has got a right to be angry it's probably me," Hickenlooper told the station. "I guess what I feel most is just deeply disappointed." The mayor said only Marie, her husband and a musical adviser knew what the local jazz singer had in mind. "What she said was that she was very sorry, that she meant no disrespect, that she was trying to make a creative expression of her love for the country," Hickenlooper said. But the change in lyrics angered many residents, including City Councilman Charlie Brown. "I was mad," he told MyFOXColorado.com. "I almost walked off the stage." Brown said the matter needs to be addressed. "There is no substitute for the national anthem." If Whitey is upset now, what is he going to do with the influx of blacks into the cabinet of Obama Save The Drama For My Grandmama? It is going to be a sight. No one can speak English and constant stuttering. :roll:

I stopped at a gas station around 9pm one Friday not to far from my house. There was a Lexus SUV and A BMW that pulled in, both full of white high school boys. They gots out out and were fist bumping and yelling "Yo! Whas up Homes, Wheys all da ho's! to each other. They also had their hats on sideways and their jeans down below the butt with the mandatory boxers hanging out. Unbelievable! :roll: I wonder what the spoiled little brats would do if they ran into some actual Bangers? Cry for mommy? :lol:

Watermelon Art at California Fair Said to Be Racist
Saturday , August 30, 2008 SACRAMENTO — "Colusa County officials are defending their display at the California State Fair after a black couple complained that a caricature of a smiling watermelon seed was racist. The "Waldo Watermelon Seed" drawing was removed this week after the couple said the image evoked negative stereotypes about blacks. The exhibit was intended to celebrate Colusa County's seed-producing crops, which generate $30 million a year. Margaret Kemp-Williams, deputy counsel for Colusa County, says it was drawn by wards at a county juvenile hall where the population is roughly 40 percent black and 40 percent Hispanic. The wards created a display honoring watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin and tomato seeds. Kemp-Williams says each seed was depicted true to its real color. Veronica Hannon Thrasher and her husband objected to the "Waldo Watermelon" caricature, which they said looked like "a happy black slave eating watermelon." The county attorney said the wards had wrongly been cast "under a cloud of unintended racism." Colusa is a rural county northwest of the state capital."

If they have an image problem, it's more their own doing as america watches minorities run wild daily on the news.

Veronica Hannon Thrasher, who objected to the caricature along with her husband, said: "I applaud these students' efforts..... ...But they probably never had the benefit of a black history class" that showed images depicting African Americans "as a happy black slave eating watermelon," Thrasher said. "If the students were presented with that history they might have drawn Waldo Watermelon Seed a little differently." It always comes down to a lack of education, a lack of critical thinking skills.....Where else but on a board of failed truckers would this provoke outrage. That they are still blaming immigrants and minorities for their misfortunes is proof. .

Who's outraged BUTT WIPE? I find things like this hilarious. It only increases the negative ways normal people think of them. Much less, you have heard of Johnny Appleseed haven't you?
