      I remember the first time my then-girlfriend, who was American, heard God Save the Queen while here in the UK. It was an instrumental version and she had no idea why they were playing My Country 'tis of Thee in a situation where you would expect a national anthem

        Even our “anthem” is a white supremacist poem slapped on top of an old British drinking song. How apt. A country of drunken racists.
