the person who wrote it was pro-slavery, and one of the original verses was, too.

It's not an original verse, it's literally the third stanza:
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country, should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave, From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave. https://www.pri.org/stories/2016-08-30/historians-disagree-whether-star-spangled-banner-racist Francis Scott Key was happy to see former slaves, who had joined the British as part of their Colonial Marines, getting slaughtered and killed as they attempted to take Baltimore --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD http://error1355.com/ce/Hinakuluiau.html ...

Geez people will find anything to complain about. Don't you have actual problems in your life or are you so privileged that an anthem triggers you?

I love our national anthem. Leave it alone please. why? It's pure garbage. I don't think it's pro-slavery, but the tune is so disgustingly basic that a 4 year old could have "composed" it. Granted, this is true for most if not all national anthems, so I'm not saying other countries have done better. Still, taking frequent diarrhea shits on musical theory should not qualify a person to write a literal national anthem. That's just fucked up. --- "I can i i everything else," Bob reportedly said.

The anthem really isn't a good choice for our national song. It's a tradition yes but not liking it has nothing to do with being triggered. --- No sig. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Personally, I don't think the excised stanza should have any bearing. We took the first stanza, which typified all that America stands for, and left behind the parts which didn't speak for all of us.

I would say we could change the anthem, but the obvious choice for a replacement is pro-slavery as well.
