Yankees Drop Kate Smith's Version of 'God Bless America' Because People Were Racist in the 1930s

Yankees drop Kate Smith’s "God Bless America" after questions of possible racism arise

It isn't God Bless America, but a couple of other songs Ms Kate Smith belted out in the 1930s.

Frankly, I think this is really about "Fat Shaming".
