Teen Vogue Says Patriotic Anthems Are Racist, Tells Their Young Readers to Think of America
s Crimes on Fourth of July
Teen Vogue published a slew of anti-patriotism articles on Independence Day, including one declaring that
racism and patriotism go hand in hand.
The teen magazine has faced massive criticism in recent years for promoting antifa and glorifying abortion, anal sex and prostitution to their young readers.
The article about patriotic anthems being racist took aim at Kate Smith
s
God Bless America,
the southern tunes
Dixie
and
From Dixie With Love,
and even the national anthem itself.
Then there
s the American anthem,
The Star-Spangled Banner.
It was written by a slave-owning Washington lawyer, Francis Scott Key, who referred to African-Americans as
a distinct and inferior race of people, which all experience proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community.
In the national anthem
s lesser known third stanza, he wrote:
No refuge could save the hireling and slave / From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,’
the Teen Vogue article read.
The article continued on to whine that
Patriotism is defined as
love for or devotion to one
s country.
As black people, we
re expected to shut up and sing these songs that, for so long, declared and celebrated freedom that specifically excluded us; freedom that, in 2019, still doesn
t feel applicable to us. People, like Mayor Troiano, who
in the name of tradition and patriotism
continue to defend the racist behavior of historic figures by referencing what was
acceptable
at the time are a problem, as those figures are. Just because racist behavior was widely accepted among white people doesn
t make that behavior right. Slavery was widely accepted for years. Does that make it less egregious? Once we know better, we have a responsibility to do better. If we don
t, we
re complicit in the continuation of racist traditions and behaviors that have been upheld in America since the first colonizers arrived.
