The Star-Spangled Banner is racist.

OK, then.

@Mik Jeebus.

I redd along until I couldn't stand to read any more of it.

I have an awful allergy to virtue signalling. And it's getting worse.

Though I will say I never caught the line about "hear him whip the women" in Brown Sugar. That we could've done without.

[Mik]

Brown Sugar was not racist. It was simply about what used to go on when human beings were property.

[Catseye3]

@Mik Okay, but whipping women didn't need to be celebrated in song. Since the song was a megahit, apparently not many people agreed -- or like me, they didn't catch the lyric.

Those songs might make a reference to a race, but they are not racist.

This racist nonsense is going to come crashing down, big time, one of these days.

After a generation of black babies are adopted by white parents, everything will get fixed right up.
