She Got What She Wanted

Little known jazz singer Rene Martin (also known as Rene Marie) was hired to sing the "National Anthem" (The Star-Spangled Banner) at Denver Mayor Hickenlooper's "State of the City" speech. She decided to use the occasion to get a lot of notoriety for the "Black Liberation" movement, something she has been promoting all her life, without much success. This is "an insult that won't go away." It has been all over the news, local and national, for a week. Even presidential candidate Barack Obama took notice and commented. Next, I suppose, the Secretary General of the United Nations will comment. Then the leaders of other countries. She has been "blackballed" from other such gatherings, but I suspect she'll get a lot of bookings from those who heretofore had not heard of her, and who agree with her stance. I judge ALL people as INDIVIDUALS, and I judge her as a racist who has just made a racist statement that will redound all over the world. (Associated Content)
