no more genocide apology

[@richardklein61]

If Mr. Dark bothered to listen, he would see that there is NO reference to Lord Jeffrey Amherst in the new lyrics. And Lord Jeffrey Amherst dealt no more with "genocide" than Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, etc.

Could someone please post the updated lyrics? This being a live recording, and outdoors no less, some of the lyrics are a bit indistinct

Here are the updated lyrics to the song: O Amherst, Our Amherst O let’s sing our praises to the College on the Hill, We shall sing them wherever we may be For the name of Amherst College resonates, and always will, Both at home and across the sea. Both at home and across the sea. From its classrooms and athletic fields, fair Amherst shines its light, And to it we will ever be true. Amherst welcomes all the challenges that come within its sight And looks around for more when there are few. O Amherst, our Amherst! ‘Tis a name known to fame from shore to shore. May it ever be glorious ‘Til the sun shall climb the heavens no more. Since the days of Amherst’s founding back in eighteen twenty-one, It’s excelled as the College on the Hill. The memories of its graduates and honors they have won Abide here among us still, Abide here among us still. You may talk about your Wesleyan, your Williams and the rest, For these schools will always play their part, But give us our Fairest College, which has proven it’s the best. To the end it will be in our heart. O Amherst, our Amherst! ‘Tis a name known to fame from shore to shore. May it ever be glorious ‘Til the sun shall climb the heavens no more.

Our effort was to at least preserve the music and some of its spirit.

More history gets erased.

[@sammartland932]

Hmm. The original lyrics claim that "to the Frenchmen and the Indians he didn't do a thing", which erases the basic history of the purpose and effect of Lord Jeffrey's service in North America. And the original lyrics are there for anyone who wants to read them. It's not necessary to keep celebrating a thing to keep remembering it.
