The (edit :not the last verse) 3rd verse of the anthem has lyrics that celebrate the murder of escaped slaves and the Brits that welcomed the escaped slaves. Nice try motherfukker.



Song was literally written by a slave owner who wrote about killing escaped slaves. This is "our" national anthem.

Those slaves and servants were recruited as soldiers in the British army. The british, you know some of the people that originally profited off the slave and indentured servant trade, weren't doing it to be nice to them. They turned them into combatants. There were slaves and servants who fought on the half of the british, and there were those who fought on the behalf of the Continental army.

By the way, you seem outraged about the fact he's referring to "hirelings and slaves" and assuming he's only talking about black people, but I'm curious to know if you're equally outraged about the fact that thousands of white indentured servants, who were essentially slaves themselves, were also offered freedom if they fought for the British. Who do think the "hirelings" were?

Yes, It is your anthem and mine as well, but technically, it's from the early draft of the poem. Just like we added to amendments to improve our country, the song was amended to reflect contemporary America. And the song wasn't even our anthem until about 80 years ago, only the branches of the military sang it predominantly.

We're Americans. So we can either bytch and complain about what people did wrong several hundred years ago and call each other "motherfukkers" on an internet message board, or we can admire the things our country did right and amend the mistakes of the past.

This almost reminds me of when Alicia Keys started talking that shyt about the government creating gangsta rap to get blacks to kill each other. Them crackas put pressure on her after that and made her backtrack and her career hasn't been the same since.



The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter tells Blender magazine: "‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. ‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist."

Keys, 27, said she’s read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength, power and killing ’em dead," according to an interview in the magazine’s May issue, on newsstands Tuesday.

Another of her theories: That the bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing."

"Can you prove this is true?"
"Bu but that happened a long time ago"
"This has nothing to do with the song"

It's funny that they ignore Key's confirmed racist background and happily sing the song... But they giving Nate Parker hell over some unproven allegations :mjpls:
