Gladys knight says the national anthem was written to unite us so she’s performing it at super bowl

[Booker T Garvey]

Most of us didn't know about the other verses until then, but you know now, so how could you claim that it was written "to unite us"?

again, like 99.9% of the population, she is referring to only the first stanza of that song which is the only part that's been sung and taught for over 100 years
sitting there like a narcissist computer nerd chiding people for "not knowing" something this trivial with this look on your face is some childish bullshyt and you know it.

you must have learned your debate skills from a bazooka bubble gum wrapper just a few hours ago.

1) You're "upset" at stanzas in a song that haven't been taught or sung in literally hundreds of years. I'm not buying it.

2) I pointed out the fact that not even white people sing, teach, or know those stanzas either to help illustrate how dramatic you're being, it has nothing to do w/me.

your corny as fukk - and using cm punk gif proves that

who said im upset...im not loosing any sleep over this shyt- why would they teach stanzas that are clearly racist

first of all it's LOSING <<yeah that's petty but you called me corny. man up.

and you're right, they stopped teaching those stanzas because they didn't want to be associated with them
and probably because the first stanza was the the best (the lyrics are actually trash beyond that)

you can keep replying and i'm just gonna keep molly-whopping you around this forum.

Gladys Knight Lives In A Bubble Where She Could Give A fukk About Current Events.

10 Seconds Of Her Time On A High Profile TV Spot, A Fat Check And Free Tickets To The Super Bowl Is Why She’s Doing It, She Shouldnt Speak Up And Try To shyt On Kapernick To Justify Her Decision, Just Do It And That’s It

I will not stand for any Gladys Knight Chicken and Waffles slander. The one in Lithonia was on point.



The smothered chicken and greens




But yeah she sounds crazy with this anthem talk.

I forget the name but i ate at this fast food soul food place in lithonia that made me wonder how that wasnt mainstream. Do you know the place? This was years ago so it may have shut down long ago.

She’s from the older “forgiving” generation.

Most underrated comment on this entire post

So you're argument is that she believes Francis Scott Key wrote the first verse to unite us but wrote the other verses for other reasons? Do you not see how retarded that sounds???

Are the traffic and activity numbers for this site consistent with a group of men who AREN'T watching NFL playoffs on a winter Sunday? Is there a sharp spike AFTER the games are over?

Unless its this:



It's obvious she's just trying to get the bag. Not surprised though, as someone already said, she's older, part of the generation of elder blacks that are quick to forgive whites, and who like to stay neutral on issues. It is what it is.

She’s from the older “forgiving” generation.

WELL GLADYS, BIG BOI, AND TRAVIS SCOTT
ARE FROM THREE DIFFERENT GENERATIONS.

SO HOW ABOUT WE JUST ADMIT BLACK PPL
FROM ALL ERAS IN GENERAL ARE fukk nikkaS?

How the fukk are you gonna name yourself "Booker T Garvey " and then defend/ for an indisputably racist anthem. :kaepernick:

There's a lot of bullshyt people don't know about because oppressors rewrite history and sweep it under the rug, but once you find out about it, you're responsible for attempting to set the record straight - and not sit back and take the traditionalist/conservative route "Well that's the way it's always been, so we ain't changing now. :jordanscust:"
