Subject: Kate Smith - CANCELED

Written By: LyricBoy on 04/22/19 at 6:27 pm

The ‘Cancel Culture’ has struck again. This time, the Philadelphia Flyers are tearing down a statue of Kate Smith and will no longer play her rendition of God Bless America.

Apparently back in 1931, she recorded a song entitled That’s What Darkies are For.  :o

Notably, celebrated black artist Paul Robeson also recorded this song at one point.

Consider Kate CANCELED.

“Let the name of Kate Smith be stricken from every book and tablet. Stricken from every pylon and gymnasium of Philadelphia. Let the name of Kate Smith be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of man, for all time.”

This whole thing was started by the New York Yankees, the Flyers followed suit.
