Relax and don't get your knickers in a knot, it solves nothing and makes you sit funny. Do you enjoy Irish songs on St. Patrick's Day, and I could list other ethnic songs you may enjoy. What is wrong with recognizing and paying tribute to an ethnic group, upon whose backs this nation was built? Have you ever listened to "Life Every Voice and Sing"? It is a beautiful song with wonderful lyrics by James Weldon Johnson, plus it is easy for everyone to sing. I will happily sing this great song and then join in "The Star Spangled Banner". Please get over your pettiness and think in broader terms.
