Westerly Rhode Island disrespect America Pledge of Allegiance

On July 11th, 2023, the Westerly Town Council stuns the public by allowing Councilor Kevin Lowther to sing what’s commonly known as the black national anthem before the customary Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

What is going on in Westerly, Rhode Island that allows the progressive left to insert itself in the time honored traditions of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to start off public meetings?

Will every unique group be allowed to sing, say a poem, read a manifesto before the Pledge of Allegiance?

AMERICA IS YOU BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM I don’t live in Westerly, but I share most of the concerns of this group, this is why I post here, and will continue to post here as long as I am accepted. I live in Johnston, and I must say that at least you residents in Westerly certainly do give a dam. I post on a dozen groups in R.I. and around the nation to those groups who do give a dam and who are trying to correct the crooked path upon which the Left has been trying to lead us. That said, I am wondering when did the Black community become a nation, one that creates a national anthem? What exactly is it, better still who are they to be pandered to? That is the first thing I would want to know from my council persons, and then ask why? I fine it difficult to understand any meeting of public officials anywhere in this great country of ours allowing any anthem of any kind being sung except for our National Anthem. We sing it for a reason, a honorable an righteous reason, or love, respect, and recognition of past sacrifices of Americans of all races and creeds. All colors of our human race are already represented in the symbols of our Stars and Stripes, our National anthem, and especially our Constitution. It is about time that all Americans of all colors be reminded of this, and that nothing else will be tolerated in any public forum whose purpose has been imbued by the United States Constitution. If a private group wishes to have an anthem, so be it, sing it in private, sing it at a club, or even a protest march if you will, but at any function, meeting, or gathering where the United States is always primarily represented with the Anthem, it can only be our National Anthem. It is never sung to appease or pander to special interest groups, but always to be thankful, appreciative, and respectful as to why we made it this far, and who made it happen.

  Your mother is sorely missed by myself and others who knew her in RIILE.

    Thank you, but Kathy was my ex-wife, but still a very good person. We remained cordial and she would send me RILE news letter when I was living in LV, NV.

Public displays of virtue signalling are as despicable. As Matt Walsh say, What is a woman?, I ask, What is a black? Surely a color and not a classification of a person. For if one must self identify as a black, or self identify as a woman, we lack Truth.

  I had to read your post several times to understand it, at least in my mind, but I’ll make a go at it. What is a women? We know a women is an object a human being. What is a black is not a color unless you remove the “a”, then what is black becomes a color, until then what is a black is objectified. IMHO, without context, your premises of self-identification or Walsh’s is lost to me. What exactly is “virtue signaling”, you lost me on that one, but I am open to learn something new. Is this a lesson in WOKENESS…just asking. “We lack Truth” seems semantically out of place relative to your complete paragraph. You should expand your thought process in your statements as I know or I think I know you have a lot more to say. Please do yourself and me a favor, re-write it. Would you keep every word just the way it is, or would you see your thought process in a different light? Anyway, you sure got me thinking.

    Hi Neonsky, thanks for your response. I appreciate the dialog. The mind is like a parachute and only works well when it is open. 1) Virtue Signalling: "sharing of one's point of view on an issue, in order to garner praise or acknowledgment of one’s righteousness." instead of actually doing something to make the world a better place. eg: Putting up a BLM sign on the front lawn, but not being able to actually define what a "black" person is. Usually very quick to attack anyone who says "all lives matter". 2) To expand on my comment, "What is a black"? This song is referred to as the "Black National Anthem". A question for you, "If a supposed "white" man and a supposed "black" women conceive a child together, what is the child?" Before you answer, jump into 1:15 and listen. ( https://rumble.com/v30u4jl-black-conservative-torches-white-liberal.html ) 3) If a company's human resources expert, or a college admissions person is asked "What is a "black" person?" the correct societal answer today is someone who "self-identifies" as black. IF that is true, can I "self-identify" as a g.o.a.t.? If someone has a better definition of what a "black" person is, please share. But internet, please spare me from a bunch of stupid attempts at comedy which denigrate people.
