Is it racist or not?  Was Francis Scott Key racist?  What’s the story?  And she’s going to have a good answer for us.  And I’ve spent a fair bit of time on Key and thought she would be a great guest to cover this issue of the third stanza of the National Anthem.  Really, really, good stuff.īut I was talking with Shelli recently and she got into some details on Francis Scott Key that I had never even heard before.  And by the way, her husband had great history books.

Here’s something that for years has brought us together as a nation. A lot of discussion over even the national anthem and whether or not it is a racist national anthem now people are even claiming.  I mean, this is a very hot topic in the culture right now.
