Cancel Culture Is Coming After The National Anthem (Again)
June 25, 2020 – 10:30 am

They’ve tried before. Will they succeed this time? Will they push hard for this? It’s great how a Lindsay Parker, editor in chief of Yahoo Music, wants to censor music

    Why it might be time to finally replace ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ with a new national anthem

    In an increasingly antiracist era when problematic iconography — ranging from Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben to even the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee car and country band Lady Antebellum’s name — is being reassessed, revised or retired, America’s national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” seems to be striking a wrong note.

And that ain't all.

How long before they go after the Statue of Liberty and Mt. Rushmore as well...?

So, if “The Star-Spangled Banner” goes the way of the Confederate flag and Gone With the Wind, what should America’s new national anthem be? Whatever it is, Walker says there should be a formal “vetting process” to make sure the next anthem doesn’t have a terrible past; Powell, for his part, suggests John Lennon’s “Imagine,” which he says is “the most beautiful, unifying, all-people, all-backgrounds-together kind of song you could have.”

Yeah, no. A horrible, anti-religion, hardcore Socialist/Marxist song by a guy who mentally and physically abused his wife and child? Who treated women horribly?
That, and Lennon wasn't even an American.

What a dumbass.
