Colors of the USA

This patriotic pick is to celebrate the various songs of freedom and patriotism that black America has given us. So often I hear that one color or another in the USA is or isn't more patriotic. And that's BS. The people of the the United States fly under one flag and it's color is Red White and Blue. It covers all of us no matter the color of our skins. Everyone of these songs is about being American. That means always fighting for our God given rights, standing up for each other and always being for the Constitution. Can you tell I am a proud first generation American citizen? Enjoy these while I get off my soapbox.
