Yup. I've heard some really AWFUL versions of the song by superstar singers.
The kid did good, why people can't just leave at that without bringing their own person hatreds into it is beyond me - especially as it does nothing but make those haters look BAD.
Ken
I in all my years have never found cause to hate on children.
Correct.
What if he was poor and wore his best clothes, but they were too small and ragged? The kid did a great job singing the anthem.
I am more offended when superstars insist on putting their own twist to the song.
I have seen it butchered all kinds of a twist, I have seen it destroyed by someone yodeling through it. Why not all the outrage over these practices? It's not like the little guy did a Rosie on it.
There's a lot of what ifs on here. What if it was his best outfit or favorite outfit or his other clothes were too small and ragged and............Holy cow people. Defensive much?
Presenting an opposing view point from the "there's nothing wrong with what he was wearing" viewpoint doesn't make us haters - either little kid haters or Hispanic ethnicity haters.
I also don't see "outrage". Did everyone think it was OK to sing the US national anthem dressed as the boy was dressed? No and for a variety of reasons that posters attempted to explain.
It's those who disagree with the so-called "haters" that are expressing outrage. It is a free country and we are allowed to think differently from you. Get over yourselves.
So the racist comments came from black folk, which means the racists are most likely to be Democrats who voted for Obama, and not white Republicanconservatives.
BOOM there goes trlhiker's little head.
EXCEPT that mexican mariachis aren't a race, illegal aliens aren't a race.
What I suspect the blacks who commented were commenting against the culture and it's constantly being shoved in our faces and also that very fake kind of pride the immigrants constantly display. They fled their culture, they claim they'd starve to death, or would be killed if they went back home, but the minute they arrive here, all they want to do is boast of it and always put it on display.
They're hearts are in Mexico but their stomachs are here. It's not racist to dislike the way they constantly parade around their love for the country they abandoned. If any of them really cared about the place, they'd want to stay there and make it better.

I suspect, having tracked down a number of Twitter accounts, is that there are a lot of white folks posing as Black folks.

I don't even think this kid has that much pride in his heritage; I saw him on the news yesterday and was shocked to learn he doesn't even speak Spanish.

Since in the photo they dyed their hair green it looks like it is the ONE day we celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Are you seriously trying to make an analogy to other ethnic groups that celebrate their ethnicity out in public on a daily basis and try to shove their culture and language down our throats and change this country's demographics via illegal immigration?
