yankee-stadium-over-racist-songs
The New York Yankees have decided to no longer run Kate Smith’s version of
“God Bless America” during their seventh-inning stretch because of Smith’s
affiliation with songs that carried racist lyrics.
Most famously, Smith sang a 1931 song, “That’s Why Darkies Were Born,”
which opened: “Someone had to pick the cotton, Someone had to pick the
corn, Someone had to slave and be able to sing, That’s why darkies were
born.”
The song, which has been called a satirical take on racism, was a big hit
for Smith, and also was recorded by Paul Robeson.

When the Yankees last month became aware of Smith’s history, they switched
to a keyboard version of “God Bless America.”
The Yankees have played the song in the middle of every game since the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks at the insistence of late owner
George Steinbrenner.
In 2009, the Yankees cut ties with singer Ronan Tynan, who had made
numerous appearances at the Stadium to sing “God Bless America,” after he
was alleged to have made anti-Semitic comments.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
