The California NAACP wants to get rid of The Star-Spangled Banner as our national anthem, calling it “racist” and “anti-black.”
Alice Huffman, the California NAACP’s president stated, “This song is wrong; it shouldn’t have been there, we didn’t have it ’til 1931, so it won’t kill us if it goes away.” Huffman said that the protests against the anthem started by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick were launched with an intention that later got transformed; she stated, “The message got distorted, the real intentions got overlooked, it became something that’s dividing us, and I’m looking for something to bring us back together.”
