sonya narcisse Aren you serious, do you really call that deep thinking? Because if you where really thinking, you would not have written this blog, you would have realized that at the time that the "National Anthem" was composed, the Europeans who had migrated to North America were celebrating their independence. While the Africans who had been captured and forced into slavery were considered nothing more than property, not American citizens, PROPERTY. That song was not written for Blacks so why should we embrace it? Your really should listen to your mother, she gives you good advice. Why don't you pick up a book and read it instead of looking for black singles on line (cause I know thats what you were doing). As for our wanting to separate, I personally don't believe in taxation without representation. What about you? Tuesday, August 5th 2008 at 8:06PM

Marquerite Burgess President/CEO at MCB Processing and Marketing Services, LLC Jessica, I am not going to say to you what came across my mind when I say the title of your blog. Answer to your question is YES most if not all are aware of the Black Anthem and Sonya is correct about when it and why it was formed in the first place. I truly would recommend that you educate yourself on the history and then come back with a blog about what you have learned. Try reading a book titled " At the hands of persons unknown" by Phillip Dray. It's a start to giving you a window and know the author is not a person of color. Tuesday, August 5th 2008 at 10:43PM

Will Moss Founder & CEO at HBCU CONNECT, LLC hehe that was a funny question... You asking that question about blacks having a national anthem, is like asking americans why we have a national anthem (for our nation). Anyways, nobody here wrote that song, we can either like it, embrace it, sing it, or not, but for you to question why somebody made it is rhetoric and a waste of your own time because you may end up arguing with people that have every right to love the song if they choose. But none of them decide to write it. If you are asking, why do we embrace it, well, hopefully for some of the same reasons you might embrace our own national anthem.

Dee Gray Provisioner at Cannot Say Jessica, please, study the origins of certain issues before you step out on Ignorant Blvd to comment. Please. Will you just do THAT much? Blessings... Thursday, August 7th 2008 at 7:57PM

Jessica Dillon 911 Dispatcher at Barrow County Communications Dee Gray, I will take your comment into consideration. But, just like you and million of other people do. I go by what I read and hear. I was not ignorant. I was posting a blog in my interest. Can I call you ignorant when you post a blog or make a comment about my origins? Won't hurt for you or anyone else for that matter to read different origins or issues. But, this is only my opinion. Name calling is for children. We are suppose to be adults. Will YOU just do THAT much? Tuesday, August 12th 2008 at 12:13PM
