Hagar Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Negro national anthem? Is that inclusiveness? I was under the assumption the The Star-Spangled Banner was for all Americans. Would it be appropriate for the Atlanta Hawks to play Dixie? Why not? Oh, it might offend someone? I wonder if what they're referring to in this story offends anyone (besides me)? I don't want to hear the Irish National Anthem, nor Australia's. I will again relay the article I read in the Parade's Ask Marilyn Column some years back. The column was a question/answer variety, and the lady, Marilyn Vos Savant, had the highest IQ recorded at the time. I forget the specifics of the question but it pertained to, "Was 'such in such' a danger to the American way of life". Her response was, "I think hyphenating Americans was the biggest danger". Examples:. African-American, Italian-Americans, Mexican-Americans, etc, etc.. And I heard an interesting question recently by a comedian. If an African-American moved to South Africa, would he be an African-African? Quote

Kountzer Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 We sing "lift every voice" at my church. I love that song. It is usually during February, but it sounds good anytime. I go to church; I seldom attend nba games in person. I can't afford the tickets. Hyphenated, un hyphenated it doesn't matter. America is not going to be here forever. Citizenship in heaven will be forever. Stuff that is so important now will be gone and forgotten. The sea beast and the land beast of rev 13 will be burned up, ashes, in the lake of fire. So will this msg board. Quote
stevenash Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 If none of this matters, then "social justice causes" don't matter as well, right? If none of this matters, tearing down statues of confederate soldiers should not matter, right? Quote

jv_coach Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 It is not good to play another "anthem" our society is crumbling. But Jesus will still be in control. Quote
Kountzer Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 The official title of the son is Life Every Voice and Sing. Someone came along and gave it the sub title The Negro National Anthem. To me it is just a positive, uplifting song. I don't feel any less american after I've heard it sung. As for the song being sung at NBA game, probably at the all star game, I didn't know about that. I can't remember the last time I actually watched the NBA all star game. Quote
Hagar Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Posted March 6, 2018 I'm sure the song is a great song, but the new name is divisive. It implies one group of Americans is more important than all Americans. Would the NBA allow a song named the "Caucasian National Anthem" to be sung? I hope not, and that's the point - it has nothing to do with the song, it's the new title given it. The left constantly preaches inclusiveness. Tears down statues, and has cardiac arrest over a flag, but this is okay? In the US, it used to be live and let live. Now it's live how the left wants you to live. Sorry, but I for one am tired of the left dictating what's okay and what's not okay. Ty Cobb 1 Quote

Their policy results are their own worst enemy. Quote

Kountzer Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 That song been around since 1900. I hear and sing it mostly at church. I love that song. If we went around quoting some crazy rap lyrics you would be yapping about that. As the saying goes do what you feel is best in your heart, because somebody, somewhere is always going to be critical of whatever you do. Some time waster on some back water msg board will not approve, but who cares? SMH you guys are a mess. Quote

Not trying to put you down Kountzer, just ask that you take a moment to look at it from our side. And it's not to make you agree, but simply to understand. I doubt you'll hear Dixie being played at any ball games. And though many don't believe it, many of us like the song, for the words and it's been around since 1859, NOT because it has any racist connotations to us, just dad gum like it. But it offends many others, so it's not played. Ty Cobb 1 Quote
Kountzer Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 They probably play Dixie at some Nascar events. And if they don't they should. It would be a great marketing tool. Quote
