There is not one mention of Barack Hussein Obama’s wife Michelle in this news article; nonetheless that is what came to mind when I read that a Black jazz artist Renee Marie sang the “Black National Anthem” (“Lift Every Voice and Sing”) in a “switcheroonie” rather than the American “National Anthem” (“The Star-Spangled Banner”) because she “doesn’t feel American.”
Actually the reason Marie gave for singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” is the tragedy. She singlehandedly turned an awesome Christian worship song into a racially divisive song repudiating American patriotism.
