"The Negro Question." "The Jewish Question." "The Women Question." "The Catholic Question." "The Muslim Question."
Who is asking all these questions? Why do they think they get to? Is the Great White Replacement fear underlying the need to 'run the table?' (You know, "If you're not at the table you're on the table.") Maybe they worry once they are an 'official minority', America will be having a "White Man Question."
"Afraid the Slaves would kill him in the night..." common theme that. Keep them Darkies downtrodden or they will get up in the middle of the night and stab you in your bed...' Wa wa wa. What are you doing that you believe people hate you enough to WANT to get up in the middle of the night and stab you to death. There's a clue for you.
Imagine, human beings resented being treated like chattel. Seeing their families bought and sold, torn apart, often it will be the last they ever see of their loved one. Being forced to work sun-up to sun-down. Fed on scraps. Beaten, branded, women and girls raped regularly for pleasure and profit, as her offspring will be enslaved from the moment they draw breath.
Yeah, I can't imagine why you don't sleep easy in your golden beds.....
Key wasn't 'hash to his slaves.' Slavery is harshness. It says, I Own You. You Work For Me. You Will Never Be Free. You Will Not Be Paid. It Is Your Lot In Life To Live In inhuman drudgery, nameless, Powerless, without possessions, without funds, without papers, without name, or the right to choose how you spend your days, compounded with the fact that you have no right to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones, Who Exist in the same poisoned yoke as you, Generation after Generation... It would be Unnatural for a HUMAN BEING NOT TO RESENT, ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM, THROW OFF, ARGUE AWAY, PRAY AGAINST, OR KILL TO ESCAPE A FATE LIKE THAT!
If it was really Natural and Rightous, you would NOT HAVE TO WORK SO HARD, WATCH THE ENSLAVED SO CLOSE, RESTRICT THEIR OPTIONS IN EDUCATION, COMMUNICATION WITH OTHERS, AND THE ABILITY TO MOVE ABOUT IN THE WORLD.
Nor would you need to try so hard to hammer home that they have no right to want more or to expect anything else in life.
It always was most difficult to sing, which should itself disqualify it as the National Anthem, but the lyrics of the third verse should cause mass revulsion among any decent person. Interestingly, I was born and raised less than a mile from Salona, the plantation Dolley Madison fled to, and watched the White House burn. As kids, we roamed the remnants looking for "secret tunnels". Now I wonder if old Frank hid out there. DD
Of course, I knew about Key's involvement in the colonization society. However, I continue to see views of Lincoln that do not consider the evolution of his thoughts about slavery. What would've happened if he had lived certainly would've been preferable to what did occur. And quite possibly we may have avoided Jim Crow, but that's a very debatable issue. And yes, Lincoln was very much a politician but he also was someone who related with other people, unlike many politicians that have become President.

Yeah, put that to music! Mr. Key.
Apparently , he was also a drunk.
Sad that his poem is our national anthem. America, the Beautiful , is a much better song. We should ban his poem forever!

Very interesting.
