I can't speak for everybody, but I'd rather be free in a hut, than a slave in a mansion.
I got news for you...If you are married, whether you are in a hut or a mansion, you ain't free....

We settled that back in 1865.
Though I'd still like to see them go.
Actually 1931, when the anthem was adopted. I support changing it to "America the Beautiful."
Only slaves I have ever met sold themselves.
Good try my friend.The black theologists have determined that black people have not lived in "Alabaster cities" gleeming"undimmed by human tears." They say Black America has never lived undimmed by human tears.https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/black-theology-america-beautiful .Ray changed some words around.There's a lot of directions I would like to go with this. Most of them would get me labeled with the overused descriptor of the moment.
Instead of playing this for laughs, I'll add something non-anthem that is worth watching.

Whyizzit we don't have an NAAWP? National Association for the Advancement of White People? Interesting, ain't it? You read these pages and you can see that all white people don't view other white people as brothers in arms. Sure, if push came to shove, basic liberties would be defended...but they would be defended for any race or ethnic group probably just as diligently. Doesn't mean we are going to like that other white boy just because he's white.
So, to expect white boys like me to admire your National Association of Gay Asian Long Haul Truck Drivers, or American Society of One-Armed Latino Paperhangers, is probably a mistake. I personally won't give you the time of day and won't listen to your grievances, even though some of them might be legitimate.
When you say you represent all of the X's in America, and many of those X's are low-lifes, drug dealing, murdering gang members, etc., I can't respect you for that association/affiliation. And I can't respect that "group", even though you may be an upstanding righteous individual.
Somehow I think we lose sight of that.
What the heck is "black theology"?
I'm not sure if the NAACP calling for a change is helping.
If the country reacts the same way as INGO, then people will oppose it simple because the NAACP supports it.
Only slaves I have ever met sold themselves.

What do they suggest replacing it with?
I'm not sure if this just a mindless post on your way to fifty, or if it is something ignorant of the modern slave trade.
My vote. Not that we need to change anything...but I remember yelling at some kids that were playing grabass during this song at a NASCAR race.
I took it as a joke about marriage...I may be wrong....I have been before...

It's probably moot. It's going to be a long time before it will be played there.
F1 is awesome... only time I root for the guy driving a Mercedes.
