I was messing around with a fellow blogger about acronyms and she used one I didn’t know ROFLMPRAO. Well, who does? But I’d told her I googled definitions if I didn’t know. So I googled this one and laughed with her that it was one of her own blog pages that came up.
Then I stopped laughing because I started reading. Then I clicked on the first link. Holy shit! For real?
A proud young American singing his heart and soul out for his country. And slated because of ignorance. I know this is an older post relevant to last year’s ball game. But does prejudice disappear so quickly? I think not.
We have so much to learn yet it seems. So many prejudices to overcome.
Last night was the 2013 (July 16) MLB All-Star game.
Ah, America’s past time!
Who doesn’t love a good baseball game? And what better way to open up America’s game then with a heartfelt rendition of “God Bless America“?
And … wait, a minute.
Who is this guy coming out to sing “God Bless AMERICA”?
Wow! Who is this un-American Spanish Mexican spic illegal foreigner terrorist singing “God Bless AMERICA” at a game of baseball, our AMERICAN past time?
Why, it’s New York born, United States citizen of Puerto Rican descent, Marc Anthony! …. and so on, and so on, and so on …..
OMG!!!!
***This just shows how uneducated these Americans are ….. Puerto Ricans have fought & lost their lives in your wars, the Island is a “colony” of your “great” country!!
Where did you guys go to school? Says a lot about those…

Yes, I remember when this happened and I was horrified; just as horrified when, during the Superbowl (the pinnacle of American football), Coke broadcast a commercial with dozens of Americans singing “America the Beautiful) in their non-English native language and there were haters that immediately jumped on Twitter signalling to Coke that the song should have been sung in English. Mind you, these were AMERICANS singing the song. (I did write a blog about it.) Does this only happen in American? Are we the only country to be this ugly? It was definitely three steps back for us on both occasions.

I saw that as well. And no, it’s not just America. Unfortunately, all the -isms flourish everywhere. But every little bit aids change I hope.x
