Black Singer John Legend Disrespects That National Anthem In The Worst Way Possible Following the Kaepernick controversy that took over the media this week, singer John Legend took to Twitter to express his opinion on the matter. For those defending the current anthem, do you really truly love that song? Legend tweeted. I dont and Im very good at singing it. Like, one of the best. Legend had also offered up a suggestion for a song he much prefers, linking out to an article claiming the lyrics of the national anthem celebrates the murder of African-Americans. My vote is for America the Beautiful, he commented. Star spangled banner is a weak song anyway. And then you read this The verse the article is referring to is this one: No refuge could save the hireling and slave/ From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave/ And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave/ Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave. This is not the first time Legend has taken a political stance on social media. Not long ago, he asserted he would only vote for Donald Trump if someone held a gun to his head. What do you think of Legends comments?
