Chanteuse Rene Marie Shocks Denver with Black National Anthem

In a surprise attempt at artistic expression, singer Chanteuse René Marie blended the national anthem with James Weldon Johnson's "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing," which is commonly referred to as the "Black National Anthem." To make matters worse, this impromptu artistic and political statement was made during Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's annual State of the City address.

In response, to this faux pas, The Rocky Mountain News is reporting that the Denver City Council is being hammered with hate-filled messages. With eyes already looking towards Denver because of the August 25th Democratic National Convention, the singing of "The Black National Anthem" is a racially and politically charged stunt that will have major implications for Barack Obama, the Democrats, and Denver.

Chanteuse René Marie says she doesn't have any regrets. In fact, she is quoted in the Rocky Mountain News as saying "You have to risk things. You have to. Otherwise, you might of well live your life by a script." On the internet and on major media outlets such as Fox News and CNN, Barack Obama is already being linked to the singing of the "Black National Anthem. Chanteuse René Marie is an open Obama supporter, and like many other supporters of the presumptive Democratic nominee, her mouth is getting the senator in trouble. The actions of Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger have already forced Obama to create a website to combat the anti-American and counter-patriotic rumors that surround him. The "Black National Anthem" will be added to the list of evidence that Obama and his wife hate America.
