She was wrong, in my opinion. For so many reasons, not the least of which she did it purely for self. Asinine.

the lyrics to the black national anthem are beautiful. there are no "kill whitey" words in it.
i thinks whites need to have black totally on their knees and apologizing for their existance in order for them to feel "safe". people who are insulting this woman for what i think is a slick creative way of interpeting the both anthems are need to get a backbone.

Lift ev'ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring.
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee,
Shadowed beneath thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.

I think Barack is more skillful at avoiding inappropriate questions than he is pretending to be.

Yeah, lying about it isn't going to cut it. The reporter could have easily explained the situation to him, or played the video back to him. And if he doesn't take a position, it just adds more fuel to the fire. I feel you on, why he shouldn't take ownership, but I just don't think it is realistic.
The truth of the matter is, unless there is someone working at these newspapers/stations that will call these reporters/journalists out on their BS, they will continue to harass Barack with every "Black news you can use" tidbit that pops up.

Webb,
You almost made me scream out loud and my director is like 4 feet away.
But, really Snoop and Pac do have some national anthem worthy stuff.
Please do another one, that was soooo funny.

What's wrong with good old fashioned lying? Someone asked Barack whether he wore boxers or briefs, and he responded that he doesn't answer embarrassing questions. Why not say he wasn't aware of the incident? Why take ownership of this?

Teacher... you are dead on. Thank you for expressing what I had in heart but not energy to express. Love me my JJP community!

Alas, the assumptions that you make in this analysis are, well, presumptuous.

I think b-serious provided a compelling argument as to why Barack "had" to respond to the question he was asked about it.

I was blessed to participate in a high school chorus in Milwaukee, home of the Black Holocaust Museum, that sang it with full orchestration at a concert and competition.

"I don't think they had a vision of contemporary life or society, or that our youth would be in such a desperate situation, but thats a whole other thread."

There have always been elements of our tribe who were quite cosmopolitan in terms of their outlook and what influenced and shaped their perspectives.

The difference between Marvin, Jimi and this woman is that they performed the song they were asked to perform. She did not. Period.

Thanks for the historical basis for your opinion.

I don't have a problem with you calling it whatever you want. I was giving my reasons for calling it what I want. I'm sure you know that. I think I've heard it called 3 different titles: Negro, Black & African American. I appreciate your proclivity for authenticity.

A lot of words used to be pejorative and now aren't and visa versa. James Weldon Johnson & Ralph Ellison used the words that were prevalent during their era, like we all do. When I was a kid, African Americans were called "colored people." Calling an African American Black was a fighting word back then. I don't think the upgrade disrespects our elders. I don't think they had a vision of contemporary life or society, or that our youth would be in such a desperate situation, but thats a whole other thread.

I respect you, PTCruiser & agree to disagree.

I don't hate the song, but I do hate that it is a WAR song, like Melinda stated above. I hate that my country/government is run by war mongers. I hate war, and am embarassed by the barbaric policies and practices of the government.
