What a disgrace.
R&B singer Jill Scott, whose net worth hovers right around $12 million dollars, did an awful rendition of the national anthem on Sunday at the New Orleans’ “Essence Festival.”
Scott replaced the original anthem lyrics with a story about how oppressive and terrible America is, calling it “the home of the slaves.” (Again, worth $12 million dollars.)
Scott’s lyrics below:
Oh say, can you see, by the blood in the streets
That this place doesn’t smile on you, colored child
Whose blood built this land
With sweat and their hands
But you’ll die in this place, and your memory erased
Oh say does this truth hold any weight
This is not the land of the free
But the home of the slaves
Watch the “performance” below (or don’t):

She says “This is not the land of the free, but the home of the slave…”

Scott was blasted on Twitter for singing about oppression and slavery while being a multi-millionaire; podcaster Jason Whitlock said it best.
“The safest, most opportunity-rich place on the planet for black people is the United States of America. From the three Marxist lesbians who started BLM to Jill Scott, the black matriarchy keeps writing bad checks. Turned bitching and grifting into an art form.”

"Oh, say can you see, by the blood in the streets. This place doesn’t smile on you, colored child. Whose blood built this land with sweat and their hands. But we’ll die in this place and your memory erased. Oh,…
