I will stand up for two anthems. The German one as that is where I was born and raised and the American one as that is the place I call home now. The rest is just music. LOL!!

Whites and blacks both bleed red but are separated why. A lion and a zebra bleed red too.

The Native Americans, that this country was taken away from, may deserve an anthem, but not the group this country is being given too. What about the natives that were defeated by the natives you speak of?

Once this country became a country, the National Anthem was decided upon. It represents our country as a whole! It represents everyone in this country. Only time there should ever be a second National Anthem played is when a foreign nation is involved in a sporting event . Same as done in Canada when baseball games are played or hockey games. Both should be played for the people of both countries. If the liberal left wants a black national anthem , it's only for one reason. TO DIVIDE OUR COUNTRY!
We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

What about the natives that were defeated by the natives you speak of? … that never happened… they lived in complete harmony regardless of tribe and shared resources equally amongst all

Sniffy said he would unite the country. He did a fine job of that last week as now 87% of Americans are united in thinking that the idiot is not fit for the position he tries to fill right now. Well done that clown

Well done that clown Yet he will tell you how great of a job he is doing right after his Handlers give him his Mental meds and tell him what to say.
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Many people are surprised to learn that "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was first written as a poem. Created by James Weldon Johnson, it was performed for the first time by 500 school children in celebration of President Lincoln's Birthday on February 12, 1900 in Jacksonville, FL. The poem was set to music by Johnson's brother, John Rosamond Johnson, and soon adopted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) as its official song. Today “Lift Every Voice and Sing” is one of the most cherished songs of the African American Civil Rights Movement and is often referred to as the Black National Anthem.
Read the lyrics from "Lift Every Voice and Sing" below. Lift Every Voice and Sing By James Weldon Johnson
Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us, Facing the rising sun of our new day begun Let us march on till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand. True to our God, True to our native land.
************
Not sure I'm smart enough to know what any of that means, but my first impression is it reminds me of the old Virginia Slims commercials......."we've come a long way baby, to get where we are today".
Which is nothing at all like the intent of those that put it on. My hope is they do that in front of every NFL game.......Little Richard version........all three verses. Do that and they will find out what Bud Light and Target found out.

IMO when you combine the Black National anthem with Black History, month black miss america contest, black entertainment television does nothing but add more division and reason for dislike. Where is the white history month, Irish history month or any of the other history months for other ethnic groups. As far as the special for one group that fails to learn that the slaves that were brought to America were originally captured and sold as slaves by other blacks, and muslims but that fact isn't taught in schools anymore.

Did anyone else notice that somebody painted "End Racism" on the end zone? The irony of which is Sunday's super bowl was the 2nd all time highest rated program ever to air on TV.....second only to the Apollo moon landing. To watch a game where somewhere around 90% of those playing were black multi millionaires.
Yes, they call that irony. To be fair the "End Racism" thing in the endzone has been there for about 2 or 3 years now. Every pro football stadium has it.
Millions of trees die every year to print environmentalist publications
