Vanessa Williams closed the PBS ‘Capitol Fourth’ with the ‘black national anthem’ to celebrate Juneteenth on July 4th, Independence Day. She ended the performance with “Lift every voice and sing.”
PBS is the publicly-funded Woke network.
Williams, who also hosted the long-running PBS event Capitol Fourth, told the Associated Press on Friday that her decision to sing the song was in “celebration of the wonderful opportunity that we now have to celebrate Juneteenth.” The show is broadcast to the military abroad.
“So we are reflective of the times,” she said. “We are reflective of the times and I’m happy to be a part of a tremendous show that the producers are aware and willing to make the changes that have happened within the past year and a half.”
She dedicated it to her ancestors.
“I dedicate this to our ancestors, to our new federal holiday Juneteenth, and to all who celebrate freedom,” she said.
Personally, I sing the Star Spangled Banner and dedicate it to my ancestors who fought and died in the Civil War for her ancestors.
The actual National Anthem, the one for all races, was sung earlier in the show.
There was some negative backlash, The Daily Mail reports, but not from the Left, which shows it was indeed divisive.
There is only one national anthem. This is segregationism pure and simple. Shame on @JoeBiden if he doesn’t demand an end to this racist activity. https://t.co/Knm8ngj7Gs

Florida candidate Lavern Spicer:
Vanessa honey, a BLACK national anthem is something a Black African Country would have, not a country like America that exists for everyone 🇺🇸🤦🏾♀️ https://t.co/ZLt8kZLRSU

There is only one National Anthem and it isn’t Black or White; it’s for all Americans. When are we going to simply reject all these Liberal Extremely Racist Losers? What’s really interesting is Vanessa Williams complexion. Like most Americans she is really just a Mutt, so why is she so racist? I’ll give her the benefit of doubt and just list her as being a Liberal Fool for the time being, but singing a segregated “National Anthem” on the 4th of July puts her on very thin racist black ice in my book.
Who? The former Miss America who was in Penthouse?
If America is racist then how did she win Miss America?
I thought Apartheid is racist which is where we are headed under the CPUSA.
Actually we are headed to a dystopian Brazil/Cuba/North Korea/Venezuela hybrid.
O/T-a fresh find!
