Get ready to be pissed off; ”jazz artist” Rene Marie was asked to sing the National Anthem at Denver’s State of The City address. What the people got was something else entirely:

The Star-Spangled Banner wasn’t even sung afterward, and city officials proceeded anyway. And as it turns out, Ms. Marie will no longer perform the National Anthem because:

She said that she made the decision after a Russian broadcaster interviewed her and asked her what it was like to be an American.
At that moment, she said, she realized that as an African-American she at times feels like a foreigner in her home country.

I got a better idea, Ms. Marie...why don’t you pack your bags and go to a certain country, in Africa, which you’ll feel quite at home in. It’s run by that DFC Robert Mugabe!
