Even amongst American Blacks. <BR/><BR/>The way Abdul-Rauf's character was assassinated in the media you would've thought he was advocating something crazy.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I don't have anything against my national anthem. I won't take the pledge of allegiance though. People have gotten it twisted and our confusing militarism with patriotism.
