This is terrible it's not okay to destroy these statues
this needs to stop
Why
@@holyghostpower938 cause it's treason!
@@chasec9197 no its not. Thats opinion and emotions not facts
Sir Francis Scott Lee stands for history he made, he wrote song for our U. S. A. I strongly advise to people of u.s.a leave these statues alone. Shows what our country is about. This is HISTORY, LEAVE IT ALONE YOU. PEOPLE. Unknown historic person
This is so sad to watch and to see this happening in our country. Let me comment on this in which I know that I will receive some backlash from in which I really don't care. I am a black man. I was taught to love America. I was taught the Star Spangled banner as a child. I am 53 years old and I still love our National Anthem. It is a song to honor America, the greatest nation on God's planet Earth. I do not believe that this is a racist song. Francis Scott Key may have been a slave owner, but, the song is about the flag. It is sad to me that our children and grandchildren are being taught to hate America. It is even more sad that we have elected officials in public office who hate our country. America needs people who will stand up for patriotism. African Americans, it is the Democrat Party that is the party of slavery. Never let them forget that. I am proud to sing our National Anthem. Yes, I am a black man. Crucify me if you want to, but, I love our country. The United States of America.
You are one of the few that speak the truth.
Not one democrat voted for civil rights legislation 60 years ago.
It was also a democrat mayor and sheriff that attacked Dr King's activist on that bridge.
SHUT YOUR WEAK ASS UP,ITS A NEW DAY IN AMERIKKKA
@@terrancewatson7739 no Mr. Watson. I will not be silent. As long as I have breath in my body, I will share my love for America (spelled correctly), my support for our President, Donald Trump, and educating our race on the racist history of the Democrat Party. You can disagree with me if you wish. Again, I say this to you and all who hate our country. If you hate it so much, you can leave. Tell me where are you going to go? Go somewhere where you can have the freedoms you have in America. Let me know if you find that country. Again, I will not be silent. You have a blessed day in America 🇺🇸.
darkness descends if you believe this guy is a black man then I’m as white as snow ❄️
@Fuckur Censorship thank you.
America is going downhill. What a disgrace
The first man said servitude. It was slavery. Not servitude.
Are there any police on duty in San Francisco?
I lived across the street from that statue on Eutaw St. in the 1950's. I have pictures of me in that boat, I was about 5 years old.
And that was racist too
WHY ARE THERE NO HITLER MONUMENT ON DISPLAY IN AMERICA AND ISRAEL?
The way it hit her at the very end...how it goes all the way back to the beginning.
Key was a slave owner and slaveholding lawyer from a Maryland plantation family, and his 1814 poem, which was later set to music and became the U.S. national anthem in 1931, includes a defense of bondage written into its third stanza. Key in his role as district attorney of Washington, D.C., successfully lobbied President Andrew Jackson to appoint his brother-in-law, Roger Taney, to the U.S. Supreme Court. Seated on the nation's highest court, Taney famously wrote the Dred Scott decision which declared that Blacks were not and could never be citizens of the United States.
Only idiots would vandalize a statue to the writer of the National Anthem written during the battle of Fort McHenry and was a Maryland resident buried in Frederick next to the Keys ballpark. Suspects should required to clean off their graffiti.
Vandalism doesn't send the right message
Its time to clean house in this country of those whose only identity is defined by a group......rather than the excellence of the individual........
There's is no reference to slavery in The Star Spangled Banner...
Yes there is. But thanks for confirming ppl don’t know their history
@@sunnysgreyarea2522 not in the official version maybe in an older version. I bet I know more history than you...
@@chasec9197 you don’t know your own history. Your a joke
This is a long time coming. This statue should have been torn down before I was born. The 80s would have been preferable.
That first man that spoke is sick in the head he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. Francis Scott Key 3rd Generation plantation owner got rich off the back of slaves and wrote about the joy he felt in seeing them die in that third verse of The Star-Spangled Banner.
you are wrong,
That's ridiculous. The star-spangled banner is a poem he wrote on a ship while witnessing a battle in Baltimore (where slavery was illegal.) The whole poem is about the battle, the bombs bursting in air, our flag was still there, etc. So you think he just took a detour from that in the third verse and randomly started talking about slavery? No! Slavery was an illusion to what would happen to America if she lost the War of 1812. We would have lost our independence and become a colony of Britain again. In effect becoming slaves to them again.
He was not talking about black slaves in America he was talking about the fate of America if we lost the war and had we lost Baltimore to the British winning the war would have become much harder as that would have given the British a great port with which to land tons of troops and possibly reconquer the nation. Thankfully that didn't happen
America has never had a bath..
Paige Cat'lynn speak for yourself. And if you are referring to a BLOOD BATH you better think again. After the riots in Washington DC after MLK was assassinated there were bodies of dead blacks found stuffed in the sewer system all over Washington DC. With 13% of the population you couldn't field the firepower of the 62% white population.
At that time a POW was referred to as a slave.
By their logic, Edgar Allan Poe cursed in his writing
I so want to speak my mind but it will not end well for me. So.... Yeah
