First of all, Chris, i'm sure you can find PLENTY of people who would criticize Hendrix, Rosanne and countless punk bands for their renditions of the Nat'l Anthem... I for one would love to punch Rosanne in the ovaries for making my ears bleed... but as American citizens, I believe the National Anthem belongs to us and I believe we can pretty much do with it what we please, within reason... it's like messin up something that belongs to you. Wreck your own bike, oh well, that sucks... wreck your friends bike... uh oh, that spells trouble... So you can fuck w/ your own National Anthem & skrew it up (again, w/in reason) and although you'll get some flack from other people, whatever, as an American Citizen it's your right to free speech... But you can't fuck with other people's property & not expect to get a lot of people, most of whom already dont like you, royally PISSED at you.

You don't see US citizens going over to Europe & adding fuckin raps to the various European national anthems & expecting all Americans to use that while over there, do you? No. You don't. Our National Anthem does not belong to illegal immigrants. It's not their play toy. Feel free to use it, go ahead & translate it to better understand it, but don't FUCK with it.

In my opinion it has nothing to do with Race, it has to do with Nationality. I don't see any double standard about that, do you?
