Conservatives triggered by gospel music...what else is new.....
Triggered by the works of one of our country's greatest poets -- James Weldon Johnson...
Triggered by verses like:
"Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won"
Why does that trigger you conservatives so much?? What can possibly be bad about that verse?
Or did this verse trigger you.....
"Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land"
Let me guess, if this was something written by a white guy, then suddenly it's a beautiful hymn for all to enjoy....but since it something written by a black guy, written for the purpose to encourage "AMERICANS" who were fighting the GOOD FIGHT......and who were on the RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY....suddenly its evil and anti-American? Fuck outta here...
