Star spangled Banner

Last week class discussion on the political and social aspects of music got my attention. As a guy who loves listening to revolutionary music on hiding truths in society, the "Star-spangled Banner" in all its stanza is something that I personally felt that I wouldn't have discovered if it had not been for this class. After class on that very day, I had a soccer game which played that very song before the game. As the song played, all I could think of is I'm a Blackman and the purposed of this song though to bring forth the patriotism of every America, condemns the Negro race of trying to acquire their freedom the only possible way available. This could be one of the many reasons why it is kept secret.  Another discussion last week that I thought was interesting was the history of the world, Jim Crow. White imitating blacks by putting on blackfaced which was disturbing. I'm already looking forward to this class because slavery is one of the few topics that interest me.
