  • No refuge could save
    the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight
    or the gloom of the grave

    If you haven’t heard this part of the national anthem before, it’s because you've only listened to the first verse. The national anthem is a four-verse long poem by Francis Scott Key called The Star-Spangled Banner. While the American public widely knows the first verse, the last three verses are never sung. The first verse of the poem is about the American flag flying over a fort after a battle symbolizing the resilience of the United States of America. The third verse is mainly about the slaves destined to perish in the fight for capturing the fort. The verse in the poem about the hirelings and slaves was talking smack about the black men who teamed up with the enemy and were beaten down. So, there’s most certainly a racist component to the Anthem, but throwing out a jab about how you kill someone for having the audacity for not wanting to be owned by you, isn’t really great. If you put a slight amount of research into early American history, you’ll find a lot of people who are racist, because back then the majority of the people were legit racist. Francis Scott Key was also a prosecutor who tried to get a guy hanged for having in his possession a pamphlet, which stated that enslaving human beings because of their color isn’t the best thing in the world. I am sure I’m not the first person to tell you this, but the American Founding Fathers and the authors of the constitution were mostly slave owners. Even the guy who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance also wrote a little piece about the dangers of mixing with the “inferior races.” These guys lived at the time of the slave-owning United States, and that’s the culture that conceived the national anthem we sing so proudly today. And it's thanks to the racist puppet president Woodrow Wilson that you obediently sing The Star-Spangled Banner at every circus you go to in America. He signed an executive order in 1916 designating The Star-Spangled Banner as the national anthem, and in 1931 Congress confirmed the decision. The tune has kicked off ceremonies of national importance, such as July 4th celebrations and athletic events ever since. But aside from its racist components, America's national anthem is the only one in the world that involves rockets and bombs. I wish I may live to see a day when our national anthem becomes a song of love, peace, and brotherhood, rather than the racist and militaristic version we have today.
