YOU SHOULD BE PISSED
No Kate No Flyers. The Philadelphia Flyers caved in immediately due to pressure from an unknown source that Kate Smith was a racist because she sang a song in the 1930's almost a hundred years ago that may have been though by some as racist by today's standards. While stand up comics like Chris Rock and David Chappell use the N word in their act over and over again while nothing is said.
This is not right no one should be aloud to use that word and if they ban Kate Smith for something much much less, than those comics should also be banned for using the N word.
Plus if the person or organization was so outraged at Kate for simply singing a song almost a hundred years ago WHY are they not outraged at those comics?
Well the reason is that there are people and organizations that make it their business to search for anything that they can claim as racist because it benefits their agenda.
....
.The worst part of all of this is that Kate Smith was just the opposite in fact if the Flyers would have took the time to look into Kate's life instead shaking like little girls and rushing to judgement they would have found that Kate Smith was an advocate for civil rights. She also had a black singer on her TV show, Miss Josephine Baker, that no one else would touch because of her out spoken political views and Kate stood by her all the way.
The two songs that were considered racist lyrics were recorded and preformed for a Broadway musical that attempted to bring to light and make common knowledge the trials through which slaves had prevailed and assist in the fight against segregation.
This media driven frenzy, once again taken completely out of context as usual by twisted hateful people and organizations is a horrid example at an attempt to brandish
a woman's reputation, who would roll over in her grave hearing what she is now labeled with and making all of her life's work and journey worthless.
Kate Smith was the Flyers lucky charm .but the way the Flyers stabbed this good hearten wonderful woman in the back.
I hope that the Flyers loose every game now.
I also hope that the crowd at the game have the balls to chant... WE WANT KATE... to send a message to the Flyers to grow some BALLS , show some class and show that you have a backbone. admit that you were wrong and bring back the statue of Kate Smith.
Now to those twisted hateful people and organizations ..
WE HAVE ENOUGH OF YOUR HATE
