If We Can’t Defend Americans Like Kate Smith, We Can’t Defend America.

It began in April when the New York Yankees stopped playing Kate Smith’s “God Bless America” at its home games.? ? Their spokesman said they learned “from a fan” that Kate Smith “had a history of potential racism” and “sang racist songs during the 1930’s”.

Anyone who does even minimal research and listens to the two “offensive” songs (out of 3,000 sung by Kate Smith) quickly sees that these are absolute lies.? Yet almost every? newspaper in America published those lies in one form or another as if they were true.? Every TV and radio network repeated those lies during every hour and half-hour news break.? A few days later,?the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team (owned by TV cable giant Comcast) announced they were dropping Kate Smith’s song. Then they covered and removed her statue from in front of their stadium.

There was never anything remotely racist about either Kate Smith or her songs.? Both were loved by blacks and whites alike at the time. Those same two songs were also performed and recorded by civil rights icon Paul Robeson and Native American jazz singer Mildred Bailey, the “Queen of Swing”.

Kate?s songs, like those in “Showboat” and “Porgy and Bess” were part of a campaign to defend, include, and humanize blacks in America who were then viciously attacked and slandered by white southern Democrats and Hollywood elites.

For more than 30 years, blacks had been moving out of the?Democrat “Solid South” and into northern cities like Atlantic City as part of the “Great Migration”.? Here, the civil rights of blacks were protected and they were soon voting in large numbers.? In those days, blacks voted overwhelmingly Republican.

Democrats responded by using race hatred against blacks? to win elections. Their biggest weapon was the 1915 Hollywood blockbuster movie ?Birth of A Nation?.? It falsely portrayed the worst slurs against blacks as historical facts, revived the KKK and destroyed 50 years of black progress since the Civil War almost overnight.

During the 1920?s and 1930?s, Kate Smith was one of many courageous artists, writers, and entertainers in northern cities who used their talent to fight that bigotry.

While two songs sung by Kate Smith now seem offensive 86 years later, they were welcomed by most blacks at the time as sympathetic and supportive.?Words in those songs that offend blacks today were not at all offensive then. They were part of the playful slang used within black communities?in normal, day-to-day conversations.

The rules on which words are offensive also changed for other minorities. For example, many American Jews at that time found word the word “Jew” offensive and insisted on being called “Hebrew” or “Israelite” instead. Today’s “Seashore Gardens”? nursing home in Galloway Township, NJ began in 1916 as the “Hebrew Old Age Home” in Atlantic City.?? Today, many Jews would be offended or annoyed if they were called a “Hebrew” or “Israelite’.

Kate Smith died 33 years ago.? ?Progressive? Democrats today routinely attack the statues and reputations of dead Americans who cannot defend themselves.

One week after America was saturated with lies about Kate Smith, local newspapers, talk radio, and groups like ours on social media began telling the truth. However, it was too little, and too late. The national media did nothing to apologize or fix the damage they did. They instead moved on to make up and spread new lies about President Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr.

What the national media just did to Kate Smith this year, is exactly what they did to President Trump after the Charlottesville riots of 2017. They first constructed a big lie. Then they repeated it day after day, hour after hour, until half the country still believes it to be true.

Last year, the same media did it to me on a smaller scale when I ran as a Republican candidate for Congress in New Jersey. Every year, the media does the same thing in one way or another to countless Americans and American institutions like our National Anthem and the Boy Scouts.

During the Cold War, the Russians called this ?ideological subversion?, ?psychological warfare? and ?demoralization?. Unless we stop it, this process will continue until most Americans believe the biggest lies of all — that America is an evil country and that nothing in America is worth defending.

It took years to create this situation.? It will take years to fix it.? However, as President John F. Kennedy? said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”.? Please help us take that first step this summer.

Please help us launch a ?Summer of Truth? campaign in and around Atlantic City.?? Help us reach? visitors to our beaches, Boardwalks, clubs and casinos–especially high school and college students when they are away from their indoctrination centers.
