As an overwrought and emotional Lamanite (it's part of the curse) I remain quite pervious (if that's the opposite of impervious) to blatant Stars Spangled Banner patriotism.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZZf619DIpoI can watch this video (Lee Greenwood's "I'm Proud to be an American) and be manipulated into getting a lump in my throat, while at the same time mentally processing mental images of how venal and downright horrific the Anglo-American (White) record is on this continent. And you didn't necessarily have to have a skin tone other than White to have been effected. Although being brown or black helped you get your share...
(in the above video, go to 1:40 and examine the silliness in the left background! I glimpsed it and had to go back to see if it was real, and it was! Humans belong in the monkey house!)
