DISGRACEFUL: R&B Singer Completely DESTROYS National Anthem Lyrics

R&B singer Jill Scott completely destroyed the National Anthem while singing it at the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans.

Jill changed the National Anthem lyrics to say “Oh, say can you see, by the blood in the streets, This place doesn’t smile on you, colored child.”

She continued “Whose blood built this land with sweat and their hands, But we’ll die in this place and your memory erased.

Scott concluded the song by singing “Oh, say, does this truth hold any weight, This is not the land of the free, but the home of the slaves.”

Here’s what the Post Millennial reported:

Award-winning singer/songwriter Jill Scott is facing backlash over her rendition of the United States national anthem in which she changed the words to portray the country as hateful and hopeless.

Scott performed her version of the Star Spangled Banner during a set at the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans on Sunday, and while it largely received praise from the audience, outside the arena Americans were not pleased with the words she had chosen to describe their great republic.

Scott borrowed the tune of the national anthem and inserted her own lyrics into the place of those that have been sung since 1931.

“Oh, say can you see, by the blood in the streets,
This place doesn’t smile on you, colored child,

Whose blood built this land with sweat and their hands,

But we’ll die in this place and your memory erased,
Oh, say, does this truth hold any weight,
This is not the land of the free, but the home of the slaves.”

On Wednesday, Essence Fest posted a clip of Scott’s performance to Twitter with the caption, “Everyone please rise for the only National Anthem we will be recognizing from this day forward.”

Check out what Fox News reported:

R&B singer and actor Jill Scott blasted America by changing the words of the National Anthem into claiming it is an oppressor state during a live performance on stage.

Jill Scott was performing on the second day of the Essence Festival on the perceived systemic racism in America, saying the country is “not the land of the free.”

Essence, a lifestyle magazine that hosts the festival, commented, “Everyone please rise for the only National Anthem we will be recognizing from this day forward. Jill Scott, we thank you!”

The left wing is now declaring it the new national anthem:

Everyone please rise for the only National Anthem we will be recognizing from this day forward.
