I would have definitely walked off, in a VERY loud fashion. That is bs, the national anthem is not your song of choice, it is an established song. Focking bullchit.

Nice.
Marie said she deliberately chose to sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing" to the tune of the traditional anthem because she doesn't relate to the lyrics of the Star Spangled Banner. "I wanted to express how I felt about living in this country as a black woman," Marie said.

Is it really any worse than this?
I think I hear some extraneous words.

Yeah, it's pretty rude to take a chance like that when the function isn't really about you. If it goes over well, then you're golden. If it doesn't go over well, then you've ruined some other poor guys' night, but not your own. It's a selfish act of expression at an inappropriate time.
BUT! Let's not get all high and mighty about it. It's times like these where a little bit of understanding and open mindedness can take an awkward situation and turn it into something positive. Only useless negativity and resentment result when two people get into a battle of pride and principles. Nobody died here. Nobody was trying to hurt anybody. In fact, nobody got hurt at all. |

Plus, she made it all about her. Some people just dont "get it" and probably never will.

Totally agree this was inappropriate given the event and occasion. However, I'm glad I live in a country where someone can do something like this should they choose to do so and not get stoned for it. Everyone might not like it (myself included), but I would hope that everyone would keep an open mind and fight off the immediate urge or negativity towards the woman or the choice she made. See the councilman who said, "I almost walked off stage". fucking please. Grow up, be an adult and afford that woman the same rights you take for granted and enjoy yourself. I'm sure there's been times when Mr. Charlie Brown said something that not everyone agreed with and he wasn't berated for it. Some folks across the country don't agree with the Arrowhead faithful inserting "CHIEFS" at the end of the anthem - BUT we in KC don't consider it disrespectful, just a tradition and part of our expression of not only the anthem, but how we relate to it as part of our homefield advantage. What this woman did isn't so different from what we do at every Arrowhead home game if you think about it in those terms. |
