    Ah, thought it might be something like that. Pretty much nobody knows any stanzas past the first exist, so it’s a bit silly to criticize it for that. It sucks just fine without it.

      i don’t understand your point. it’s one thing to say you can’t say people are racist for liking it, because they wouldn’t know the full lyrics which, i didn’t say anyway… but it’s silly to criticize a song for being racist just because people stop singing it before it gets really bad? bit of a weird take.

        It’s silly to use a stanza that is literally never sung as criticism for why it sucks as a national anthem. As a reason for why the whole song as a general concept sucks, sure.
