  • It is an anthem of imperialism and war. The Black National Anthem is better.

  • lift every voice is seen as the black national Anthem for cultural reason, for some reason whites get paranoid when blacks celebrate anything with in there background, I heard many times what if some whites celebrate there background?. When St Patrick day is clearly Irish! And apparently whites most have some form of culture cause yall not celebrating Native American culture.

  • @bluedevildude2 ...there are too many whites at harvard, why not sweep in obama...

  • @bluedevildude2 it's not impossible. i know that obama and his bible (MENTAL SLAVERY) along with his "yes we can" has proven to all that the elites made a rush when they throw the bone at him (of course, your brain swears that you helped put him in office. keep dreaming)...

    "yes we can": it cost $2.5B month to send troops abroad (obama is licking from the floor of what bush left behind)...noticed that there are more (TONS) of negroes in army commercials = "yes we can"...

  • @afterray wow......... it's impossible to get through to people like this. You really have to wonder.
