    Lift Every Voice and Sing
    By James Weldon Johnson


    Lift every voice and sing
    Till earth and heaven ring,
    Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
    Let our rejoicing rise
    High as the listening 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 chastening 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.

    Since TLS refuses to give context, because he's a lazy drive-by trolling pile of vulture shit...



    Holy shitballs, that's a million times better and life-affirming than that lame fucking British pub song with military dirge lyrics we have to sit through now.
    Bring it the fuck on.
    :yes:

    Actually, the most American thing that we could do is steal some African nation's national anthem, replace their name with ours, and claim that this has always been our anthem. :bailey:

    At least it will make sense when they have Roseanne maul the shit out of that. It is great how all the dumbservatives forget she was worse than Public Enemy back in the day for shitting all over the national anthem, but now they love her and she is their ambien hero. Had she been killed off on her own show back in the day the conservatives would have had a party and said how great it was she got fired because she sung the national anthem badly.

    It is a lot better, but it would be hard to stand still and be boring during it. You would have to dance and have some fun, and that pisses conservatives off to no end. People having fun is something that shouldn't be happening at a game according to republicans. That is unless you are yelling at black people and then have a blast OWR and your Karen.

    Poor TLS.
    The "TheLonely", part of his screenname has certainly come true.
    All his white supremacist buddies have fled.
    Or died.
    Poor little fella.
    He's the last Dodo.

    The US missed the boat on this one. They had already stolen the black people, and were forcing them to work for free while giving white people all the credit. Even after that we stole their music and gave it to white people for many decades. We could probably still get a white owned label, producers, and lawyers to take the rights away from the black people. This is america after all, and stealing shit from brown people is what it is best at. If we cannot steal it from them we can just go to the second best thing america is good at and just kill the black people. Then we could do our third best thing and whitewash the shit out of it.

    Yes, white people stealing from black people. Super common! Next we'll run off with their 75" televisions!

    Wait, I’ve got to a better suggestion! It works perfectly for how most people will experience coming into the US and having to deal with the TSA.

    You are such a moron. This country was built on the slavery of black people, which is the essence of white people stealing from black people. Most of the best US produced music styles were completely stolen from blacks. You could not make enough 75 inc TVs to cover all the money white people have stolen from black people in the US alone.

    This is great. Your whole team has walked off the field in disgrace, but you are still going to keep pretending you can come back from the devastating beating you have gotten. You might just be our new dayton with that attitude. Have you ever coached any football teams? Do you have a diary thread? Have any members of the board reached out and gotten you fired?
