It is a way to separate the nation. It's racism. Period.
I agree 100%
Yeah no doubt!
So let me get this straight the black national anthem is racist but the national anthem that literally talks about killing slaves is not racist???????
“No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
I am not even black and i think you are talking bs!
@@tecumseh4095 facts right here
I bet you're white as hell.
The national anthem is for all people who come to America to sing
Not all people come to America to sing. Some come to cook.
Mexican national anthem starts out with "Jose can you see"
No, no, no. It’s “I am the Frito bandito…”
@gladius2489 you don't get it
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Why yes now that I have my glasses I can see thank you very much
Where are all these people complaining about Confederate flags
The confederates are the bad guys. Racism and stuff.
Feels like a supremacy thing to me.
So true… it’s great that white supremacy is being challenged in a public space
One National Anthem.
That's it.
It will never be enough man theres a specific group within the black community that will be cry baby’s forever.
100%, this is bullshit
Yep a white one lol sounds about right
Yep we like the 911 quote never forget 😉
@@Roshow04 how you feel about a Hispanic one if they have time? Lol
The name of the song is “Lift Every Voice and Sing” NOT the Black National Anthem and it is a unifying song about faith written in 1900 (124 years ago). The song is about having faith in God to bring you through difficult times. It also about never giving up. And, if you actually listen to the words, it pledges alliance to America even though it is where our ancestors came and died. But it also says never forget to honor our native land too.
It was NEVER meant to be a divisive song. It is a song about love and sacrifice and it was written during one of the ugliest times in American history, after Reconstruction, when Black Americans were being lynched daily; however, this song is a song of hope and pride with the message, “never give up.” It is an extremely patriotic song. Sooooooo….during the Super Bowl, we hear several patriotic songs by different artists, and this is one of them. We also hear “America the Beautiful” (written in 1893), “God Bless America (written in 1918) and “My Country Tis of Thee” (written in 1920) all leading to the “headline song” the National Anthem. At EVERY Super Bowl, we hear several patriotic songs before we hear the national anthem. And, during the pregame show, we see several ethnicities celebrated by sharing their heritage through special recognitions and presentations. It is not about being WOKE….it is about patriotism.
So…..to your question, when a country literally states it is a country of immigrants, then yes, as many ethnicities should be celebrated as possible, including the heritage of Black Americans. Why? Because when we celebrate and respect each other, THAT is what makes America great….isn’t it? We live in a country where 58% identify as white….and 42% identify as not being white (according to the 2020 Census). With that said there is no “Hispanic National Anthem” so your question is a mute one. But, if you mean should the heritages of 42% of Americans be recognized? Yes.
And, when I was growing up on an Air Force base, every weekday at 12 noon, the entire base stopped and listened to the National Anthem. If I was riding my bike, I stopped and stood to give honor. Today, I gladly give honor, with my hand over my heart, when I hear the National Anthem AND I stand with Pride of my ancestors who persevered with courage and continued to love a country that did not love them when I hear, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” My family as served in every war of this country dating back to the Spanish-American War, when we weren’t even American…..my great, great, grandfather fought in that war as a Bahamian in the Caribbean before his children came to America to go to college.
THANK YOU!!! They stay acting like its us but reality they show their racism each day they discredit us and this country
Thank you
It's bullshit ...and a stupid song stirring up shit
The full song definitely seems like that. However, including context of what DEI and other agendas that are being pushed right now, they left out much of what makes the song a positive message that’s unifying. They left out, “May we forever stand,
True to our God” in addition to “Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? “ this was written in 1900, and they were already glad they made it where they were. Nowadays, African Americans have just as many rights as any other American, way more rights than their ancestors, and they left that part out? Why? I think It’s because in todays culture amongst EVERY RACE, it’s popular to victimize yourself, and not work hard to become a better person, i struggle with this. It ended with “ let us march on till the victory is won.” The whole song wasn’t played, and I don’t think it was an accident. With black only dorms at certain schools, and other agendas being pushed rn,it’s hard not to think they left it on “fight on till the victory is won“ repeatedly for a specific reason. it seems like whoever is in chsrge of this is pushing agenda, not unity. They took out the context in the song which can make it into any message they want, even tho the original message seemed to be sound. I’m not saying America isn’t racist at all, and that America is perfect, just to be celar. I just wanted to say people can take out context of songs to make them whatever they’d like. I want to thank your family for their service and appreciate your love for America. I share that with you. What are your thoughts on this?
I'll point out that in media coverage of this, the song was almost universally referred to as the "black national anthem."
That seemed to be an important sticking point to all sides of this hodgepodge. It's the cultural dispute and the strange emotional investment in that phrase that's really the ignition point for debate here.
Aside from a song people seem to widely recognize as the "black national anthem," there's black independence day, black history month, black entertainment television, and so on and so forth. This pattern seems to be sending a symbolic message of "we don't want to a shared community and culture and heritage. We'd rather stand separate and alone."
I don't know if it's just an artifact of segregation, something that became ingrained and a force of habit, but what I do know is that it makes me feel like the day when we can shed the hyphens and all just be americans will never come.
This song written by James Weldon Johnson is “rooted” in the national anthem and is an ode to the dark past and resilience of African Americans who were historically not treated as equals and endured much hardship just to get freedom. The song also acknowledges the hardships black America’s endured for the rights and privileges non blacks received based on racism. I get that it seems separatist but it’s not. They allowed it to be sang for valid reasons. Also, why does this word woke invoke such animus? It’s just an awareness. We’re evolving. Would you like another word that feel less abrasive but means the same thing ? Just asking for a friend.
This is absurd! There is one national anthem and it represents all of the people in our nation.
I stand for the black national anthem only!!
This makes as much sense as "Men are women."
This makes as much sense as believing people can come back from the dead.
@@DrSPF23 Well, yes.
Odd I assumed you were Christian because you were trashing trans people. I have trouble finding any other reasons people do that, it just seems like such a pathetic waste of time.
@@DrSPF23 I wasn't trashing trans people. I was trashing the destructive politics (and its nonsense) of "men are women"
@@DrSPF23God create everything. So why cant God arise people from the dead
A Separate national anthem,Won't solve anything it will just cause more devision.
The national anthem is a song that unifies all in America. Not just white people. This is literally segregation.
I'm boycotting woke events, people, and situations. That includes the Super Bowl!
As a black kid, I feel like this is going against the fact that national represents ALL of our nation
It feels like they want to divide us rather than unite us.
Do you know what the national anthem is about?
Amen my friend
So much for the UNITED States of America.
White guilt and affirmative action have killed the good ole U.S of A. Hey Blackie, racism is back; To stay.

NO ONE IS ACTUALLY CALLING IT THE BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM RIGHT?!? They didn’t say “and now we have this lady singing the black national anthem” 🙄 They said the title of the song. People calling it the Black National Anthem are the problem here
Why does another separate song need to be sang to begin with?
@@melissawallace9745 because the national anthem is pro slavery… I encourage you to look at the history of both songs and why they were written. It seems like everyone here just wants to dogpile black Americans and ignore the significance of history 😑
I don't understand... It's been all over the news... Real news not main stream media that the NFL announced that the Black Anthem would be sung please do research they used to teach that in school
Gotta get those shock value clicks. It’s a way to keep people relevant, that’s all.
Black? Where is this country Black? I have not heard of it.
It doesn't feel like an anthem it feels like a song from a singing competition, and she placed 11th
Good one.
It’s actually a old song, very old. And it’s not supposed to be a black national anthem
ya out of 10 lol
Never watching football! Done!!!!
Please don't hate on the song.
It is NOT our anthem.
It is a beautiful patriotic song among others
Don't let the race hustlers twist things
They are the ones dividing the county. Not us.
Absolutley
100% Facts!
“Its them not us” always said by the “them”
Yep because they know for a 💯% absolute fact if we'd come together they couldn't continue to do the things they do to us.
Bffr y’all talking about something that is very important to the black community and can’t even be happy for it but we dividing the country no we are no way close to being a whole country. My people to this day are still treated like an outsider and I guarantee some of y’all don’t even like being around black folks y’all just finding reason to say something bad about black people.
So dumb. We’ve allowed this to happen.
Stop calling it a National Anthem and that will be the end. Just don’t acknowledge it as a “national anthem”
I suspect it's more the critics who call it the "black national anthem".
It's a positive song with a universal theme.
It's just as appropriate as back when "Up Up with People" did their thing.
But it is a national anthem ... that black people embraced since the Star Spangled Banner didn't commemorate their freedom.
@@mr_knowitallexactly…the star spangled banner is about keeping people enslaved and ridiculing those resisting enslavement
The fact that the song was allowed to be performed is total proof of Black Privilege.
I agree 👍 this shit infuriates me
Ah yes, the African American national anthem. Written by some racist slave owning white man names Francis Scott Key. Oh fuck, never mind. that is the white national anthem. We all know how much white Jesus loves the white American national anthem.

So says a privileged white person. The so-called national anthem advocates killing blacks and slavery
@@ChaerulAnwarAzis The Black's where enslaved by other blacks in Africa. Slavery still exists today in Africa and the middle east, Black's and brown Muslim enslaving Black's.
Try going to the UAE as a black person and see how you're treated as a black person under brown Muslim "endentured servitude".
Or are you one of those white, upper class spoilt people, living off your ruch parents money. Thinking that they know best for black people, so you go into black neighbourhoods, and burn down black buissnesses because of lies made up about a justified police shooting of a black person?
"Anti"-fa is a facist terrorist organisation.
The man who coined the term Facism, was Benito Mussolini, a former communist teacher that added racism to communist theory because he found out that communism is impractical without slave labour to provide the workforce to actually do the work when people are being paid despite not working.
As has been proven everywhere communism has been tried.
Leftism means big government.
Right means small government.
Nazism is far left because it's about the state controlling basically everything in people's lives. Including the state doing a genocide because they force their twisted ways on society to be able to wipe out parts of it. Just like in communist China, Vietnam after the USA pulled out, Lous, countless failed African states, the USSR, including the Ukrainian man made Famine that is the reason why Ukraine is fighting against Russia today and why the nazis where initially welcomed by Ukraine in WW2, as liberators from Ukraines genocidal oppressors...only for the Ukrainians to discover that the Nazis where even more fat left genocidal then the USSR.
This can also been seen recently in the USA with CHOP/CHAZ, people living off of state benefits as opposed to their very very, failed farming attempt, and the name CHOP, being about chopping the heads off of people that disagree with them.
Basically, slavery is not exclusive to Black's, and is mostly done by the far left.
Slavery has been done all over the world at some stage, to all races.
I'm Irish for example. Saint Patrick was a slave.
If I was living under communism right now, there is a good chance that I would be a slave too.
I could keep going on with examples.
@@ChaerulAnwarAzis The US national anthem, I always presumed was about the USA fighting it's revolutionary war against the British.
Later on, most of the US white population at the time, would fight against slavery in their civil war.
The British empire and the USA fought wars against slavery. They helped to end it in the west and around the world.
Including in WW2 against Nazism, Itialan Facism and Japanese Imperialism (that people tend to forget the genocides of) and in the cold war against more far leftists of communism which actually killed more people then the nazis, Itialan Facists and Japanese Imperialists.
Moa Zedong killed and estimated 45,000,000 to 65,000,000 in China alone.
That dwarfs Adolf Hitler's 11,000,000 in the gas Chambers, lining up people and shooting them, forced starvation, ect, of Nazism.
oh god, imagine if there's an LGBT national anthem next?
I'm gay, and I'm thinking "Oh gawd, here we go...".
@@echospaw899😆 🤣 and what would we sing about tits and dongs js 😆 🤣 😂
LG TV has an anthem?
The national anthem is the first gangster rap song. Written by a slave owner, saying that the slaves would die before they would be free. Excuse me if I sit this out.
This country has ONLY ONE National Anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner", which represents ALL Americans. The very idea of a separate or second "black national anthem" is divisive and highly racist. It's that simple.
Blacks, due to their blackness, are allowed to be racist.
^ This.
The American national anthem is already for everybody here, no matter what ethnicity you are.
I cannot believe people fail to see this, how divisive this is and damaging.
Very Racist! Can I sing a American Native or Native Hawaiian Anthem!? No I wouldn't... Because I am American! I would only sing our only National Anthem! ❤️💙❤️💙

it is not the black national anthem. Ben Shapiro loves to lie and push false narratives to fool the less informed.
Yeah... people need to stop pledging to "god". The word does not mean what people think.

One nation under a fictional character. Sounds kinda silly to me.
I don’t know who decided that this song is now the national anthem for black people, but they don’t speak for all black people.
It was the black national anthem before you were born. But I'll tell you who DEFINITELY doesn't represent black people. Ben Shapiro.
Its just a song. An anthem is different. I think we should stick to star spangled banner.
We are literally going backwards in progression as a country, and that's exactly what our enemies are hoping for.

@@zerk813 what are you entitled to ?
It’s a revolutionary song reclaiming American identity. Apart from it being called “Black National Anthem” you wouldn’t have known it wasn’t an American cultural anthem because of how iconic it is. I would assume it’s only called that to give credit to a community who has historically led civil rights progress. Social conversation is fine but there’s nothing unAmerican about it. No one told the Colonists to own humans just because they were a different shade. They expanded American diversity through its Manifest Destiny conquest. What we are is a production of that conflict. It’s a great song!

Yes! Reminded me of Ursula
“Let’s fight inequality with segregation” is essentially what this is saying
"Let's continue to wallow in ignorance because we're too lazy to do any research and understand before we spout off triggered emotions."
That's what we're really saying.
@Nate McCollum
Agreed. We are ONE nation under God. Or is the American Pledge of Allegiance a problem also? It's ok to segregate when they do it themselves. For example, all black schools & dorms, black history month, celebrating black heritage, black magazines, etc. They celebrate their history & culture; it's pride in heritage. We celebrate our history & culture; it's racism & bigotry. I wouldn't have a problem with celebrating it all IF there wasn't such a double standard.

@@crazydave9877 No it doesnt include every one. It was written in 1814. Black people had no standing as American citizens. They weren't even considered to be human beings. You white people can pretend all you want that you didn't spent almost 300 years enslaving black people, beating them whipping them like animals, hanging them from trees and raping their wives a daughters. You people bamboozled black people into believing the National Anthem is for everyone but it's not. It's the same with the white man's God being beat, pounded and whipped into the lives of their slaves. There were no bibles in the jungles. They had no idea who this "Jesus" character was until you people enslaved them and forced your whitey white beliefs upon them.
Stop pretending history didnt happen.
@@silkwind7618 Spoken like a true white supremacist. You whitey white Christians enslaved them, beat them, whipped them, hung them from trees and now you want to pretend it didn't happen.

Yep they should have stayed separated from murders and terrorists
Opression at its finest.
Considering the whole NFL is black…. Genius.
The National anthem is an anthem for the nation. It is to unify the nation. A second national anthem is saying black people don't belong and creates a division. If white people said to the black community ' you have to get your own anthem', there would be an uproar but you choose that option yourself. It's mind bogleing.
I completely understand your point, but I would have to disagree. It would make sense to only have one anthem to show that we are all as one. However, being African American, I don't feel like the anthem was written for all Americans, I believe it was written for White Americans. It was written in 1814, which would have been decades before slavery itself was even abolished. So, as much as I'd like to say it represents us all as Americans, it doesn't.
Mexicans is racist toward Black people.Because these illegals want to be Americans but they are not.
@Crazy Dave I'm sorry, but you either didn't understand my point, or you just chose to ignore it. Of course, he doesn't mention race, and it's clearly not 1814. My point is that his mindset was different from many people today. There is no way the National Anthem intended to unite ALL that lived in America at the time because slavery was still happening. How could some of the last lines be "and the land of the FREE" with people still having slaves???
Also, I never mentioned all 125 nationalities. But I believe that the majority of the 125 actually know where they originated, or at least the culture. Polish people know that it originates from Poland, and they have a Polish National Anthem. African Americans had to create a culture once they got to America because, for the most part, they weren't allowed to do many cultural things based on their African heritage. So it makes sense to me to have the Black National Anthem sung because it's based on a culture and lifestyle that originated in North America, as did The National Anthem.
Maybe they re on to something. Ask the south if they don't feel they are diff and they might throw rocks at u for being a black lives matter advocate. We still have confederate states. White have created this division not Blacks or any other immigrant. The rest like and except the diversity of America.
Not only is it a segregating issue it sounds like a song from a musical not an anthem
The BNA is AWFUL.....not only it is out of CLR's range....but it's just wrong......I dont want to hear it ever again......shameful!!

@@philalexander7902 1900? When segregation was still a thing? Why the hell are we singing a segregationist anthem from 1900?!
@@quaesitorluminis2846 if you bothered to do some reading on your own as opposed to being content to wallow in ignorance you'd know that this is not a segregationist song because it was not written by a segregationist. Unlike The Star Spangled Banner which was written by a racist who hated black people and wrote about killing slaves who dared to be free. But the poorly educated doesn't take the time to read and comprehend. And oh by the way, this song was never intended to be an alternative or replacement to The Star Spangled Banner (which wasn't even the National Anthem when this song was written). It was meant to be a tribute to Abraham Lincoln. But again, ignorance is bliss to the ignorant. Especially those who choose to be ignorant.
@@philalexander7902 You like to use the words ignorant to describe me a lot, which is fine but there are plenty of things that are not adding up when it comes to your argument. This song is segregationist in its usage. It is true that it was part of a tribute to Lincoln, but it was not called the "Black National Anthem" at that time. Instead, it was called "Lift Every Voice and Sing," and a tribute is all it was. Now this song is being used to discourage unity between blacks and whites by giving black people their own "special anthem." So, for its current use, it is segregationist. I am willing to back peddle my original "questions", which were asked mostly as a disingenuous stab at the irony of what you were saying, but I will not back down when I say that the "Black Anthem" is currently being used to segregate the USA psychologically, by perpetuating the view that black people are different from the rest of us to the point they need their own anthem. Also, Francis Scott Key was not nearly as bad as you suggest, if you would do some reading on his personal papers, and the actual testimonies of the people who knew him instead of reading those tarnished history textbooks at school and calling it "Education" you would realize he did many amazing feats in helping to end slavery; Like the time he legally freed a ship of over 300 African slaves that had been captured by the US by fighting for their freedom in court and even spending a TON of his personal resources for their freedom. And even if he was a little racist (Which most people were at the time) that is not what the National Anthem focuses on, instead, it focuses on unity as Americans due to our shared hardship. Plus, I hardly think it is "Wallowing in ignorance" to not know about the origin of this song that has only just recently become a point of controversy. Knowledge is not wisdom, you seem to have knowledge of a few things, but you are hardly the judge of who is ignorant and who isn't.
@@quaesitorluminis2846 is being a "little" racist (the way you describe Key) the same as being a "little" pregnant? Seems to me you either are or you aren't. And he definitely was, so let's stop it with the word salad. And while you're at it, stop speaking about things you clearly know nothing about. I recently attended an event in Philadelphia where this song was sung by blacks, whites, hispanics and Jews, all in unison. So spare me your divisive nonsense because you have no clue what you're talking about. And if you ever bothered to expand your horizon beyond your own race (as I do all the time) you'd know that the majority of black Americans refer to this song by its title. No one alive today is responsible for giving it the black National Anthem subtitle. And no one has a problem with no longer referring to it as such; especially given how fragile you snowflakes have gotten over a century-old nickname to a song that has never posed a threat to this nation's official National Anthem. You're showing how weak you are. You'd never be able to endure what my ancestors have endured nor what I have to endure watching you snowflakes melt over something so insignificant . And let me reiterate. No one who understands this song has ever looked at it as an alternative or replacement to The Star Spangled Banner. We understand the historical context. It is NOT a separate National Anthem. I can't make it any clearer. So if you decide to continue wallowing in fragile emotions and ignorance, that's a personal choice. And that's your problem, not mine. The song isn't going anywhere just to appease your feelings. Expand your mind. It's actually quite liberating.
The So called Black National Anthem
was a poem
This nation fought a terrible civil war to stay unified, and free the slaves.
This betrays the memory of Lincoln and all the Union soldiers who fought and died.
Sick & tired of people blackifying everything. If you want to be separated from everyone else then find another country.
I totally agree
Exactly! If you don't like it here gtfo!
👏 👏 👏
Nope. Staying right here. There is more than 1 culture in this country.
Exactly!
Imagine how mad they would be if somebody kneeling on their national anthem
I will
@@marybeck7594 me to
🤯🤯😵💫
It was police brutality not the anthem or the flag do your research
@@kennethvalentine7713police have killed more whites than blacks so we can kneel during this supposed anthem. Do your research 😊
The song us really anti racist . Many dont respect a song when many kniw the whole song. Cant just cut part out and think it should go away.
Dang. She missed the memo that the national anthem has been sung the correct way for years and years. I’m so tired to people wanting change. The anthem is supposed to be a unified thing. I’m so sick of people wanting to remake a song. Make it make sense. Shm
I remember when we were once the United States of America and we said the Pledge of Allegiance and we sang just one National Anthem and we were genuinely proud of being Americans! I still believe most of the US still feels that way! God Bless America!
Hard to believe that these people think they are not slaves to the woke.
What people??
@@philalexander7902 the ones that wrote the song and sang it. And the ones that believe it.
@@kyraandrews8065 do you even know anything about the "ones who wrote the song and sang it".
@@philalexander7902 no just heard I, regardless we only have one anthem all it does is try to divide the country further.
@@kyraandrews8065 ignorance is bliss. At least you're honest. But I can tell you, if you ever decided to stop being intellectually lazy and decided to do some reading on your own to expand your mind, you'd see how ridiculously ignorant and uninformed you are. And that's no way to go through life. Just sayin....
The superbowl is "bread and circuses."
Can't even understand all the lyrics for her trying to sing like a baritone...
Look it up, you act like it's a new song!
@@tneshaward6121 no thanks im not into supporting racist propaganda, perpetrated by the leftists... #youareatool
Expect there to be an LGBTQ + anthem around the corner.
Oh fuck naw 😭
@@LifeofAriana578is not that serious
They are invading it is a big deal
I wouldn't be a bit surprised! They've already changed the English language and language arts mechanics. Since when did one person become a "they?" The government and school systems teach it, they support it, and punish those who don't comply. WELCOME TO THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!
I can already smell it, disgusting
Pay blacks their reparations and divide the country giving their own land.
They killed that shit ngl
Could you imagine having to wait through every groups own "national anthem" before any/all sporting events. That would be incredibly tiring.
Maybe we can stop singing all anthems and we can probably stop the pentagon from paying all of these sports teams MILLIONS each year to be propagandistic.
@@DylanWOWilliams ide say just stop watching sports altogether. Especially football, I stopped watching all sports a while ago.
@@qmangillett Admittedly, I have never enjoyed tv sports of any kind. So I guess I’m extra sour at the waste of money. Haha
All it does is divide people
I feel the same way when I am at an event that has a "prayer component." Why do I have to listen to that?
Should we line them all up? Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist.
National anthem is supposed to unify the country and it's people. Dictating it towards one specific race or group of people in a country destroys it's very purpose.
We already had a stupid national anthem! Why make it worse?
Says who?
@@0mg1tsbatman87 Anyone with common sense
Maybe there’s a reason why the group of people whose babies were used as alligator bait want to form a separate identify, just a thought
@@agi238 You know what they say about thoughts, toilets, and flushing
If they want a black national anthem they can have a black nation leave the American national anthem alone
💀 the song is called lift and every voice not left every black voice. 🤷♂️ get up and go grab some chips. The superbowl is a typical distraction.
Yeah it is absolutely absurd! Boycott anything and everything woke.
Agree with you
Go ahead and isolate yourself over something stupid. This type of ignorance is why we're losing the culture battle.
@@mrblack27 go ahead and continue being a 🐑… supporting woke nonsense! No thanks! 🤣
I thought these events were to bring us together as a country. Now we're celebrating being seperate from one another.
If separate but equal were never a thing- we wouldn’t need black history month or a black national anthem but here we are.
Never stop your enemies when they are making a mistake. This is exactly what others want to see us.
Americans that want to exclude other Americans …
2 national anthems = 2 nations, = a divided nation..
Didn't you know America is one of the most divided countries in the world. Just look at the elections
Yall the ones dividing the nation's. I see that through history we've been divided. And this black embraced song that was a national hymm before the nation chose part of song that talks of killing slaves. Now the two of them are being played together showing how we can come together on the biggest TV event of the year. If that makes you upset turn off your tv
@@tvc1028 Wow we are screwed as black people if we have people like you who thinks like this. How is he the one dividing the nation for only wanting one national anthem? Should we replace the old one with the black one? @ national anthems means separation. I do not understand how you could not see this. I woke up a long time ago, maybe its time for you to do so as well.
@@MugiwaraNoReemy no we should embrace each other and not destroy either culture. But what do I know I'm the one who's not upset over a song
@@tvc1028 we are all American though, having separate anthems does not make sense, it further divides us. Imagine your kid or my kid growing up hearing that there is a specific anthem for black people. Our culture is American culture. The more we focus on black, white, religion, ideologies, culture, and our differences the more we will be different!
“Composed more than a century ago, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” came along after Reconstruction, when a newly awakened black race was searching for an identity - just as Jim Crow was replacing slavery. So powerful is the song that it is often referred to as the “Black National Anthem,” although its composer referred to it simply as a hymn”
We only have one national anthem, and that’s all we need.
Damn that sounds like something that gets sung during a musical play or an animated movie.
Its about the worst thing ive heard in at least 6 months.
And they're all jiving like its some grammy winning performance. 🤣🤣🤣
To say its a mockery is a gross understatement. It really sounds like shes making it up as she goes along.
That's what I was thinking also, could not understand a word she was trying to sing. Plus I thought she could not sing worth a damn.
@@Ann-E165 😂👍🏻
A quote from my time as a regular Army Soldier: "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?"
Obviously, I did not watch the Woke Bowl.
Ditto. Haven’t supported anything bread and circuses aside from paying my taxes. Only because I’d be locked up by gunpoint if I didn’t
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, lmao 🤣
Missed a great game!
Can’t nobody deny she didn’t eat up that song tho the vocals on point
Ok I'm black....and I find this ridiculous. I'm sorry but your point is absolutely right. Sing our song...ffs. cringe
Hell no with all that bs, so if I’m mixed race I gotta learn each one and stand for each one. How about this is America 🇺🇸 and we are United under one ☝️ glorious flag.
We wouldnt be United if there were a black national anthem.
I want Whitney Housten back.
this is an offense against players who are of a race other than black, stop all the nasty racial differences! we humans are all equally worthless
What about the national anthem singing about the land of the free and it's the home of the slave! Not free and they built this country with blood , sweat a tears! Slavery took many lives and thier names erased!
We each should Sue for our own equal Representation. What grounds could they legally reject? They opened the door. Let's flood it and teach them a lesson.
Yes we need a Latino anthem, indigenous anthem, Asian American anthem, white anthem even. Maybe throw in a gay, trans, and non-binary anthem too. All the anthems
@@gabrielstille5502 agreed, oh wait we already have that... It's called the national anthem.
And if it offends people in other countries, they can pound sand
U do know this was taught to be sang in every black school decided by the ppl who run things around here…. Hmmm your government? Maybe? Don’t be mad at us…be mad at ya fathers and Jay-z
What an ,"ominous" sounding song! It sounds like a threat! The Latinos, Jews, or Poles won't burn down the cities of America and pillage it if they don't get what they want!!!
Who is them ?
Listen at the poor white tears, I love it 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
The Star Spangled Banner represents all Americans, regardless of color, religion, gender or sexual preference. Case closed.
national anthems are to represent the nation, race has nothing to do with it
I hope they do play a black anthem so I can be sure to take a knee
