Re: Black National Anthem?? What in the world...
I've encountered racism, and I find it to be repugnant. Thing is, I recognize it, even in subtle forms, in both black and white people, and I dislike it either way.
It is my firm opinion that replacing American symbolism with Black symbolism is a subtle form of racism. And I don't like it.
