NOW it's Kate Smith . !!!

[retread12345]

Has anyone heard of the latest PC witch hunt? The Yankees have banned Kate from their stadium, because she sang a racist song in the 40's

Seems only murder and alleged racism has no statute . of limitations . MEGO !

Sang it today at a ballgame. It didn't seem like a big deal to anyone. But then again I don't think much of New Yorkers. They think they know what's best for everyone else.

Not just the Yankees. The Flyers have gone so far as to have her statue removed from outside their stadium..
Why do corporations allow such petty misguided and twisted information to gain traction?

What's that....sounds like more arms being loaded across America. The 'day' is getting closer and much quicker than ever before. Especially since other minorities are saying they've had enough of all this black bullsh*t too.

I heard that the song in question was written by a black person.

I want to see the MLK statues come down---the biggest racist of them all.

The 'day'? What's that, JB? You guys better not go bonkers in Chicago and cause a mass exodus into the surrounding region!

Meanwhile, in Broward County (seems like stuff always happens in Broward County), blacks are peeved because of what they perceive as bullsh*t by the police. Who knows if they'll ever get to the bottom of it.

God bless America is a classic, maybe Yankee fans will vote with their feet and pocket books if they don't like the move. I just listened to the two songs and find that they are correct for the times. I have a picture of a NJ Church congregation all in black face because they put on a minstrel show. We can't go back and change history we can only go forward and try not to do the same wrong things again. I don't see any meaningful outrage from against the Rap community for the vile words they sing. No doubt a double standard.

The song was good enough to sing during the World Series and if Kate had been alive she would have sung it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zF7a0wB-Lg

Contrary to what some others have said about you here, I know you're not stupid. Neither am I.

A giant-ass race war? Not gonna happen. But, if enough people try to start one, we'll all be looking at a bunch of new gun laws.

The Kaiser's sailors used to drink toasts to "der Tag". It didn't work out any better for them than it would for modern-day Race Warriors in America.

She's long gone, so she can't defend herself. Shortly after being confirmed to the Supreme Court Hugo Black admitted he had been a member of the KKK in Alabama in the 1920s, later claimed he did it mainly for careerist reasons-"I would have joined any group if it helped me get votes."
In the 1930s Amos 'n' Andy was so popular it was said you walk down a street on a summer night when it was on and not miss a word. That program set the pattern for sitcoms-The Honeymooners is Amos 'n' Andy in whiteface.

Did you know that the Flintstones was based upon the Honeymooners?

As far as Kate Smith goes that's really going to far. Except for statues of blacks such as George Washington Carver, boxers and ball players it's time to start taking down their statues. All of them who had political views were racist. Kate Smith was just a singer and perhaps told what to sing. Also, times were very different back then.

Yes, they were. That part I agree with. Old time animation. Old time cartoons. Heck, it wasn't that far removed from 1865. Things didn't change as fast as they do now. Now "reseachers" are combing the records for stuff they can take credit for discovering. Man, I hate to quote Red, but there are people out there who, maybe don't hate America, but America and America's history doesn't mean as much to them as getting there names in the news. It's Mao's little Red Book. It's the Taliban blowing up a thousand year old Budda. I hate idiots like that, but they're young and dumb.
