Separate But Equal

No it doesn’t. The original poem did, but the Anthem never has.

Well between you and I… only one of us knew the op was about race. Wanna take a guess?

The NFL has demonstrated itself to be left.

No it doesn’t. Not anymore. You’re still living in the past.

That term refers to segregation. Period. No one uses “Separate but equal” outside of referring to plessy v Ferguson

Again your history chops are the best

“Separate but equal” may have originated from segregation, but there is no hint of segregation in the Star Spangled Banner, so when you speak of Lift Every Voice as a “separate but equal” anthem, you are living in the past as well as being delusional.

And, by the way, “separate but equal” also is used to refer to Title IX, which has absolutely nothing to do with Plessy v. Ferguson. History chops my ass.

True, but it does reference slavery

No it doesn’t. The original poem did, but the Anthem never has.

Incorrect. All of the verses are in the anthem, but typically just the first is sung.

No. If you want to discuss it in detail, start a new thread.

Samm · July 20, 2021, 1:43am

Are you saying that for the first time ever, you found a topic that is not about race?

PurpnGold · July 20, 2021, 1:53am

Oh NOW you want to deflect

You got caught, again.

PurpnGold · July 20, 2021, 1:53am

This topic is about race… you still haven’t read the OP?

Yes, those are the complete lyrics written in 1814, but only the first stanza is recognized as the Anthem. Regardless, it is disingenuous to assert that the Anthem is racists (as some here have done) simply because the author was a slave owner and the word “slave” is found in the complete, original poem.

You caught nothing but yourself. One cannot deflect by refusing to become embroiled in a discussion that is off topic to the thread. In fact, the opposite is true.

Samm · July 20, 2021, 1:57am

I know, but you said only one of us knew that, so since I know it is not me, I assumed it must be you.

PurpnGold · July 20, 2021, 2:01am

A discussion YOU started. Now when you get called out you deflect “start a thread on it”

No, YOU Start a thread on it. You brought it up… not me.

What is it with you guys today? It’s like you think if you repeat a falsehood enough times, we’ll believe it.

Dis you?

Who started this thread Samm… tell me pretty please.

Samm · July 20, 2021, 2:07am

I did not start a discussion. I simply pointed to Title IX as an example of “separate but equal” which has nothing to do with racial segregation. You’re the only one who wants to discuss it … for what purpose, I cannot imagine, since it has nothing to do with the OP topic.

Samm · July 20, 2021, 2:07am

What specifically are you referring to?

Samm · July 20, 2021, 2:10am

When I said “Purp made it about race,” I was not referring to the OP. Follow the arrows back. I’m not going to spend the time to show you what that comment did refer to.
