Repeal and replace the national anthem. That will fix it all.
I’m so glad that people have finally come to their senses! It was time to destroy the legacy of a racist history. This country was built on the necks of people of all colors, especially the Africans. They were sold by their own people into a world unknown to them. I’m sure that to this day that betrayal would haunt anyone.
Bringing down statues that were reminders of the past and banning a piece of material called the Confederate flag was the new beginning needed.
We will soon see the black on black crime dip to new lows, Welfare rolls will recede. Black students will stay in school. Fathers will will take responsibility for their children and will become family units. Drugs won’t be used to dull the pain of slavery.
Racism itself will be removed as the statues were. What a wonderful new world I’m looking forward to.
Best of all, as suggested please remove the most racist song of all time, the national anthem.
It’s so close I can almost see it now, a country with no history, no pride and no culture.
God Bless America. Oh sorry, I forgot he doesn’t exist and neither does my country.
