I thought things like this never happened in real life.

 

Our school just held a Black History Month celebration, and although I'm Hispanic, I played in the Jazz Band. So as we were sitting in the auditorium as it began, a girl went up to sing the national anthem. She started slow, but her voice was very pretty. And then she reached the line "And the rocket's red-" and her voice broke. From the back of the auditorium, I could see her upset and she put her head down on the podium. We all stood shocked for about 20 seconds. She began to stagger off the stage.

 

Just then, some guy in the front row began to sing, "The bombs-." Right on cue, I, along with everybody else in the auditorium began singing the rest of the song. After a line or two, the girl went back to the microphone and resumed singing. We all sang with her until the end of the song and then applauded her before she did a slight bow and left the stage.

 

Now, I live in a really "ghetto" school district and the room had 500 + people, but everyone seemed to rise to the occasion and help this girl. I personally hate to sing (that's why I play the saxophone) and my other band friends (remember, band is for people who can't sing), but it just felt like a humanly obligation and I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt great afterward.

 

Americans still have compassion.

We don't get credit for a lot of it. Just because our government is corrupt, we get all get pegged as greedy, stupid, ignorant assholes by people who have never set foot in the US. Don't talk about what you don't know about.

I just talked about my experiences. I'm showing people that we're not all greedy, stupid, etc.

I was reinforcing your point. I mean people from other countries think we're all greedy, imbecilic bastards.

Actually the guy behind me was muttering stuff to his friends, and I wanted to punch the obnoxious git in the face.

 

Git, yes, some Americans use that word.
