Good grief. Sports teams dump Kate Smith’s ‘God Bless America’ because of her racist songs
Update.
Whenever I walk into a library that is organized according to the Dewey Decimal System, I angrily inform the librarian that Melvil Dewey was a serial sexual harasser and a notorious anti-semite. Then I go around the library and throw all the books on the floor. https://t.co/pmhf3gg2wF

I want to see ban on Randy Newman-tracked movies from Disney, given REDNECKS, AMERICA and POLITICAL SCIENCE
Don’t forget his war on short people, what a bigot! Ban Ban Ban!
The cultural Marxists are just following in the footsteps of their mentors.

Sure there was race music in the day. There were a lot of things that wern’t right but times change.
Kate Smith sang her heart out on GBA everytime like she meant every word of it because she did. Shame on those spoiled pampered people who were born in the USA and want to tear it down.
I’m going to listen to Hag sing ,Fighting Side of Me.
I always appreciated the Hag.

“…and standin’ up for the things they believe in…”
Hag was pissed at how America had become. This tune was Vietnam era, hippies, draft dodgers, protestors and so on.
The words resonate today – perhaps even more so.
Not wishing to put too fine a point on it but Paul Robson the black communist singer recorded, That’s why Darkies were Born. The same tune Kate Smith is being chastised for.
Hypocrisy?

Kate Smith passed on in 1986 and unfortunately isn’t here to defend herself. She was more satirical in her songs about racism if anything else. I do believe they are misjudging her, in my opinion. The above Wikipedia points to her satirical songs. I remember seeing her on TV as a little kid and she appeared to be a kind, God fearing Southern songstress who loved her fellow man, black or white. She was abhorrent of racism as I saw it.
This falls under the cover of just how stupid have we become? I have been saying for a long time that we will not survive the terminally stupid among us, they are going to destroy us unless we start to realize just how dangerous their levels of stupid are. Up front ridicule of peole that are that dumb is the only way to confront them. Call them what they are, IDIOTS.
Don’t forget God Bless America was written by a Jew, that in itself would not please our Muslim overlords.
Why is there an expectation that white people love all black people, given how many black people hate me for being white? As a white person, I am about 100 times more likely to be a victim of a black criminal, than the other way around. Why can’t we just agree to hate each other in peace?
This becomes remniscent of Stalin’s tactics — though perhaps even he was not so stupid as to go after the dead. I believe she is being targeted because the playing of her song at sports events inspires patriotism. While this is so ludicrous as to inspire laughter, it also is deadly sinister. Claims of racism and wrong thinking are successfully being used to destroy freedom.

“Then I go around the library and throw all the books on the floor.”
If only the Progressive Left would follow this same approach when they consider the environmental/green movement…

Well, they are trying to change the meme, Ira has quickly been erased, they now claim it was Rachel Carson that inspired Earthy Day. Way to go media, ignore the REAL founder of Earth Day, a loathsome murderer

Revisionist outrage to go along with their revisionist history.
But you DO know WHY this manufactured OUTRAGE is happening? Because racism in America is a thing of the past. There are essentially NO racist incidents to be found anywhere in America. So Jizzie Smallset has to manufacture a “racist incident”. Mythologies, such as “hands up-don’t shoot” get invented. Every CRIMINAL act by a black criminal is recast as police brutality born of “racism”. And, of course, our entire history must be cast as an all encompassing culture of hateful, pervasive, racism.
All because victimhood pays $$. Equality, OTOH, is hard. Equality demands that one support themselves by virtue of their own effort, their own intelligence, their own self improvement. It demands SELF responsibility … because you are EQUAL. Victimhood is so much easier, because victimhood is a 24-7 EXCUSE. An EXCUSE to demand “reparations” for an offense that you never personally suffered. An EXCUSE to impregnate women and walk-away from your own child. An excuse to demand the jails be emptied because there are a “disproportionate” number of dark-skinned ‘folks’ incarcerated. Yes … perpetuating racism … in every way possible pays $$ great dividends. And if you have to dredge it up from the past? It’s $ money, baby! $ money!!
PS … did you happen to see Jesse Jackson standing behind the corrupt SA Kim Foxx explaining why she set Jizzie Smallset FREE, and why so many of her staff were resigning? Jesse Jackson … the maestro of race-pimping … standing behind the corrupted State Attorney. The Soros-appointed SA. Says it all. These people should be in JAIL! But they are insulated by a shield of mythical “racism”.
I wonder how low it will go?
I’ll say it first – I get the top bunk
Gee, I can’t recall the Yankees having a black ballplayer on their roster until 1955. Maybe they should investigate their own heritage, and then disband the team.
This P.C. nonsense is getting quite out of hand we need some Common Sense back end all this idiotic bowing down to the demands of a few idiots who go Whine Whine Whine all day long
