LOL @ Star Spangled Banner
The reality is that there were human beings fighting for freedom with incredible bravery during the War of 1812. However, “The Star-Spangled Banner” glorifies America’s “triumph” over them — and then turns that reality completely upside down, transforming their killers into the courageous freedom fighters.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A (white)home and a (white)Country should leave us no more?
Their (african )blood has wash’d out their foul (african)footstep’s (african)pollution.
No (african)refuge could save the hireling and (african )slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the (white)free and the home of the (white)brave.
