Racists be like, “Please stop singing the non-racist anthem! Can’t we just go back to the quietly racist anthem?”

Although “The Star-Spangled Banner” and all of its verses were immediately famous, Key’s overt racism prevented it from becoming the national anthem while he was alive, Morley wrote. There was no official anthem, and many people chose to sing other songs, like “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.”


Key’s anthem gained popularity over time, particularly among post-Reconstruction White Southerners and the military. In the early 20th Century, all but the first verse were cut — not for their racism, but for their anti-British bent. The United Kingdom was by then an ally.

After the misery of World War I, the lyrics were again controversial for their violence. But groups like the United Daughters of the Confederacy fought back, pushing for the song to be made the official national anthem. In 1931, President Herbert Hoover made it so.


“The elevation of the banner from popular song to official national anthem was a neo-Confederate political victory, and it was celebrated as such,” Morley wrote. “When supporters threw a victory parade in Baltimore in June 1931, the march was led by a color guard hoisting the Confederate flag.”

Okay gang! Since I love American football I’m doing a poll!

If more than one applies to you please pick the one most important to you.

So vote and reblog please! And let me know what you think.

This one is super tough for me personally because I love rooting for any San Francisco team but I really like the Chiefs too and have for a long time.

This was an interesting read. They talk a lot about Utah and I'm really hoping the nwsl does the work to make Utah a safe place for black players to play. Cause this right here, was very upsetting.

CULTURE HAUSE: GRAMMY 2024 RECAP

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards may have been one of the best overall ceremonies in recent years give or take a few things.

JAY Z took the stage to receive the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award and when he did he candidly spoke out against the very institution that has nominated him 88 times and awarded him 26 times.

The key takeaway highlight the 1989 Boycott by Will Smith and 1998 Boycott by himself for DMX not being nominated despite Jay Z winning for Hard Knock Life Vol. 2. But essentially calling out the academy for NOT getting it right and his wife Beyoncé never winning Album of The Year despite having the most Grammys.

Marketing Moment: Jay Z as always was sitting at his table where he was served Armand De Brignac and Dussé (both which he owns) as well as Tidal being integrated with the live show appearing on the LED screens on the stage of Crypto Arena.

Find full speech below.

Victoria Monét took home Best New Artist, Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. She spoke proudly thanking her manager Rachelle Louis for quitting her job and taking a chance on her. A decision that paid off greatly for them both.

SZA took home 3 trophies for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best R&B Song and Best Urban Contemporary Album.

Marketing Moment: A key highlight was SZA's second performance which was a strategic partnership with Mastercard where she debuted a new song 'Saturn', aside from the rare second solo performance, the partnership also integrated with Lyft where if customers use their U.S. World or World Elite Mastercard for a Lyft ride, a tree will be planted up to 500,000 trees.

Taylor Swift who has been the top of all entertainment and sports media outlets for the past year took home 2 awards with the main one being the coveted Album of The Year for her 'Midnights' album. Taylor announced a new album during her AOTY acceptance speech and will be the ongoing topic of the week leading up to Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas where her boyfriend Travis Kielce will be competing for his 3rd title.

MARKETING MOMENT: Travis Scott performed during the ceremony but the highlight was his brand Cactus Jack x Jumpman debuting a commercial immediately following promoting his new sneaker which was aired to 16.9 million U.S. households and not including the rest of the world. Travis also quickly uploaded the commercial on his instagram page which has more than 54 million followers.

Killer Mike took all 3 hip-hop trophies for his album 'Michael' including Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. The Atlanta native amazing night was overshadowed by him being temporarily arrested backstage for alledgely bumping into a police officer.

Last but certainly not least Lil Durk took home Best Melodic Rap Performance for his hit radio friendly single "All My Life" ft. J. Cole. A well deserved win and shows how continuous artist development, hardworking and collaboration can be rewarding. Ever since Lil Durk appeared on Drake's "Laugh Now, Cry Later" he has been on an upward swing in his career with so much more room for growth. Walking the Grammy red carpet in custom Louis Vuitton designed by Pharrell Williams.

The Dean's Notes: Holidays and global cultural moments like Grammy's, Super Bowl, Christmas, etc. are the best times to make announcements and launch products. Artist and brands are doubling and tripling down on Grammy advertising, Super Bowl advertising including Social Media, TV and the all new MSG Sphere where ad spots are costing $2million for 90 seconds of space.

In 2024 how will brands, celebrities and influencers take advantage of shifting their budgets from micro-spends for big moment opportunities? They are all fighting for as many eyeballs at once and trying to build unique messaging that could possible appeal to as many costumers as possible.

Influencer marketing has been aligned with activations during these key tentpole moments where brands can utilize the "organic" reach of social influencers by inviting them to these events knowing they will deliver great content recaps on their personal channels without being paid an influencer fee. Giving the brand increased earned media reach.

Please subscribe to Culture Hause blog and be on the look out for our Super Bowl recap which will including the best of social media moments, commercials, halftime show and of course the big game.

Kansas: Keystone Gallery

The day after our hike up Black Mesa Summit we decided to go to Scott City to the local state park and a museum there. Well, we got sidetracked and decided to visit the Keystone Gallery first. If you are fan of the prehistoric this is a must visit place. The proprietor of the gallery has a fantastic fossil collection. Yes, some are casts of the original fossils but most are the genuine article.…
