The NFL has announced that for the fourth year in a row, the so-called black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” will be performed at the Super Bowl.
It appears we’ve come full circle since the 2004 Democratic National Convention when then-Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama said: “Yet even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us … there’s not a liberal America and a conservative America — there’s the United States of America. There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America. … We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.”
It appears we’ve come full circle since the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., in his 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech, talked about the day when people are evaluated based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. King said: “I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama, little Black boys and Black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. … With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”
The national anthem is also the black/white/Asian/Hispanic national anthem. It is the national anthem of every citizen.
The country, including the sports world, has come a long way. There was a time when black quarterbacks were a rarity. White coaches and owners assumed blacks lacked the intelligence, leadership ability, and fan base appeal to lead teams as quarterbacks. Black would-be coaches faced the same bigotry and discrimination. Today, the league and the public would not tolerate anti-black racism, and many a career — whether player, coach, or broadcaster — has been damaged, if not ended, over racist comments or comments perceived as racist. This is not your grandfather’s America.
America’s three largest cities — New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago — have black mayors even though none of the cities has a majority black population. Los Angeles elected its first black mayor in 1973, a man who went on to be elected three more times. Blacks have become American Medical Association and the American Bar Association presidents. This is just a sampling. At least four black American athletes have become billionaires: Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and LeBron James, with more in the pipeline. Blacks have overcome. Where’s the NFL on the real problems facing the “black community” — poor urban schools and fatherlessness? No, it’s all about characterizing blacks as victims and rooting out “systemic racism.”
When New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft introduced his freshly hired coach to the media, Kraft said: “I want to get the best people I can get. I chose the best head coach for this organization. He happens to be a man of color. But I chose him because I believe he’s best to do the job.”
But his new coach, Jerod Mayo, said: “You want your locker room to be pretty diverse, and you want the world to look like that. What I will say, though, is I do see color because I believe if you don’t see color, you can’t see racism. … It goes back to whatever it is, Black, white, yellow, it really doesn’t matter, but it does matter so we can try to fix the problem that we all know we have.”
The problem we all know we have?
As for the black national anthem to be sung at the Super Bowl, what’s next? How about playing the University of Michigan fight song? What happens if at least some players reject the narrative that blacks remain victims and consider the singing of the black national anthem at the Super Bowl divisive?
The first white or black player who takes a knee at the Super Bowl during the “black national anthem” will immediately have the league’s bestselling jersey. As Nike says, “Just do it!”
David Ray says
Fourth time in a row!?
I’d most certainly take a knee, as that anthem is pure bullshit, but that’s me.
I lost interest in sports long ago, with the self-indulgent behavior being so thick. So upon hearing this BS, “I hate whitey” anthem being so established, I can see walking away from these fools was the right decision.
To hell with these moral cowards, and FJB and the mail-in ballots he rode in on.
Strayhorse says
BLM is racist, and so is the Black National Anthem, the NFL, NBA and MLB. Ain’t DEI in professional sports. How many people of color are professional players for the NFL, NBA and MLB. Talk about anti-Caucasian, anti-Hispanic, anti-Asian, and anti-Native American. Talk about reverse discrimination and black privelage.
Paolo says
Democrat party has been dividing the nation for decades. Its a fact the Democrat party uses race to advance an agenda that does not include equality.
BobbyD says
How long before American sports enthusiasts are required to stand and belch out a GLBTQ Anthem?
Gretchen says
The obumas are as corrupt as the bidens and need to go awsy.
will FORD says
ANOTHER good reason to NOT watch
Beverly says
What happened to civil rights? Keep sectioning off pockets of the country and we will never be unified. What happened to One Nation Under God? I’m glad that I’m at the tail end of my life because what is coming will break my heart.
Poetcomic1 says
You have your own national anthem? You must not really, totally be Americans then. What a racist thing to say about yourselves.
Jan VI says
“… there are those who are preparing to divide us”
–Barack Obama, Projectionist In Chief
Paul says
That is my thought, there has never been a great divider more prominent than Barack Obama. Now we have a rumor that they want Biden to drop out and Michelle to step in to take his place. That would just about finish off this country.
FJB says
You mean Michael?
SPURWING PLOVER says
I hope they have lot or Empty seats there and fewer viewers there s more then one way to skin a Liberal Jackass
Mo de Profit says
Well said Larry, these people are obsessed with race because they have no meaning in their lives, they need division to have something to fix.
Mike says
I would love to see a brave patriot football player take a knee during the BLM song.
Richard Johnston says
I’d love to see a unicorn giving Bigfoot a ride to a leprechaun’s wedding.
Joe Esposito says
It’s a sad time in America.
All those years of healing the racial discord is
now lost ever since electing a Black president.
Dr King is turning in his grave.
God help us, please.
Robert Vickers says
First of all bho was biracial, white mother , black father . Biracial not black
Paul says
It is for Barack Obama and his partner Michelle, they come across with deep hate for those horrible “white folks”.
Kynarion Hellenis says
And MLK is NOT turning in his grave. He was a very different man than the fiction that keeps him exalted in public opinion.
Pedo Biden says
won’t be watching. Games are fixed any way. Plus they promote hate and bigotry.
World@70 says
You’re right, all fixed. They knew that if the Chiefs won, the Taylor Swift crowd would be watching, so, the fix was in and they won.
BLSinSC says
Rather than worship at the alter of “victimhood”, black Americans need to educate themselves on the TRUTH!
Black people in America should THANK their ancestors for “getting on that boat” as Muhammad Ali once said! Compare black lives in the US vs their homelands! They are NOT victims of anything other than THEMSELVES! I have black friends who – amazingly per DEMOcrat rantings – have managed to have wonderful lives! They GOT MARRIED, bought HOMES, raised CHILDREN, WORKED to SUPPORT their children, and stayed out of prison! Imagine that!! HOW can that happen when there are white people around to “keep them down”??
The REAL ENEMY of black Americans is the DEMOcrat (HYPOCRITE) Party! But they keep voting for the people who do NOTHING to LIFE them UP out of poverty and misery! Hopefully the latest program of “replacement” has awakened more black Americans! We’ll see in November!
Semaphore says
Actually the real destructive time bomb in Black America was the welfare check. It eliminated the need for a responsible man to provide for a family. Boys did not learn responsibility or duty, and fatherless sons turned to the street for their sense of belonging. And it reinforced the myth that Black America can’t take care of itself without government help. Alternative national anthems will not fix any of this.
TRex says
Exactly. It would be interesting to know how many of the “oppressed” blacks vote Democrat for no other reason than to keep the checks coming. I fully understand this is not the mindset of every black person but it appears there are enough to tolerate the destruction of the black family. Were it not for those duped into thinking their lot is because of their skin color the “race baiting” industry would dry up overnight. And we can’t have that.
RAM says
NFL Player Anthem:
Kasandra says
I believe it was co-written by Motown founder Barry Gordy.
SPURWING PLOVER says
The Theme Soong of the DNC and Trial Lawyers and the Eco-Freaks as w ell
Onzeur Trante says
The entire crowd needs to take a knee. That would make the SuperBowl worth watching.
jcr says
This one time I chose not to read your wise words.
Blk Anthem? I won’t know. IDC.
B/C I will be enjoying the Puppybowl, Dirty Jobs. Or whatever my wife is has selected.
Or I’ll be lost in a book.
Dan543 says
Kneel? Nah, brah. I kneel for only one man, and He died on the cross.
Turn your back on this divisive nonsense, yes, or better yet… Turn off the Sportsball game and do something productive and useful with the finite and unknown number of hours you have on this ea th.
Robert Vickers says
Turning your back , is perfect
Kynarion Hellenis says
I’m with Robert Vickers. Turning the back IS perfect. Taking a knee is a gesture of servile obedience.
Al in St. Louis says
It seems ironic that leftists insist on playing a Christian hymn and calling it “the Black national anthem.” It amuses me. Yes, it is an example of pernicious division, which the left promotes while calling it “antiracism.”
Steve Chavez says
My Hispanic people want one too. (“Guadalajara! Guadalajara!” Yes, I know that’s Mexico but hey, every Birthday Party for Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and for New Mexico features a Mariachi Band and Folklorico Dancers playing all Mexican Music. I’m wondering if Mexico hires a Country Band to play on their Zocalo on September 16?)
Native Americans want one too. Asians. Even the Yanomami Tribe in Brazil can’t be left out.
Let’s recall Beyonce, and Ho’s, in their Super Bowl halftime show with RAISED BLACK POWER FISTS! To be fair, I’m not a football fan, but did they have a KKK show the next year with RAISED WHITE POWER FISTS, and if not, why not? What’s the difference, Black Supremacists vs. White Supremacists… except now Black Supremacists is now mainstream now that their leader became President of the United States!
The next NFL year, two Black players sacked a White Quarterback and stood over him with RAISED BLACK POWER FISTS. The announcers said nothing. The NFL didn’t do a replay, no reprimand for blatant racism!
Now up to 75 BLACKS ONLY college graduations including Harvard where it seems they would know that is racist, and yet, they dare to follow Rosa Parks! What’s needed is A Rosa Parks willing to sit at the lunch counter.
Chris Shugart says
Here’s the refrain to a song I wrote years ago (to the tune of American Pie) when all of this nonsense started. I haven’t watched a game since.
Bye-bye to the new NFL
To the players and the owners
And to Roger Goodell
As the fans turned away
You could hear them exclaim
This used to be America’s game
This used to be America’s game
Jerry says
Having two separate anthems means having two, separate COUNTRIES, period. This is as divisive as anything could possibly be. I’m glad I gave up on pro sports.
10ffgrid says
Other than unpatriotic democrat racists, who supports this disgraceful B.S..
Funny says
Just remember this super bowl game because by 2030 there will be no white football players left on the field. Everyone from players to coaches will be black.. The American National anthem will be gone too. Only the black national anthem will survive. The same will apply to basketball as well by 2035. Baseball by 2040. All other games by 2050. Yet, they will probably still claim they are being disadvantaged. What will America do then? Well, the Senate and House will have to be all black by 2060. All Cabinet members and Federal Agencies will be headed by a black person as well by 2070. All Supreme Court Justices will have to be black by 2070. But don’t worry, the white Europeans will only represent 25% of the population by then.
You whites will be lucky and you know why? Because everything that goes wrong in America can be blamed on one group. Why, you will be an absolute minority. You will be able to riot just like they use to do for every little thing. Go shop lifting at all the stores they own for free stuff. What a wonderful future.
Can’t wait because I will be 143 years old then. I have to stay in shape to run from the stores with my goodies. On second thought, I may need a fast moving wheelchair, electric of course.
A little humor for the evening.
ArnoldF says
Dividing a nation is the work of destruction–it is a direct tactic of communists. Divide and conquer.
Wayne Cook says
The happiest black people I have met were immigrants from other countries. They don’t see racism, they work hard and just get their lives together thankful for the great opportunities we all have. If you are a born in America black person you have been lied to all your life by Marxist Democrat Leadership, the MSM, and race baiters wanting to get your vote by telling you have been mistreated and any failure in your life is due to someone else. Then they promise to fix the problem if only you vote for them.. Biggest scam ever!
Semaphore says
So true! I worked with a woman who immigrated with her husband from Kenya, she had nothing good to say about black Americans.
TJ RUBICON says
Go Woke, Go Broke mfkrs.
S L says
Baby Got Back?
.
Disgruntled says
Wow, that’s great!
I can’t wait to not watch!
F the NFL, F Big Pharma, FJB, F the CCP!
David C says
Let it go. My personal boycott of the NFL started a few years back, due to their anti-White racism. I have missed it on occasion, but there has not been a single moment I have regretted it. This is just one more confirmation that I did the right thing. You can too. It’s easier than you might think.
David says
I have done the same.
Robert says
Bullshit! Either we are one under the flag and the United States of America, or we are not. Get your shit together, NFL. Your racism is bringing down the game and our country. Your BS is old, and we see through it.
Why don’t you condemn the invasion at the borders that is crushing blacks in every state? Do you think that black people are stupid? Yours is a worn-out racist mantra. Find another way to lie to us.
MeNotYou says
There is only one national anthem.
What they are going to do isn’t it.
Allen Peterson says
Bill Maher hit the nail on the head when he pointed out that there can only be ONE national anthem… because it’s the NATIONAL anthem.
Seth rich says
African-American is not American. If it were, one would just say, “American.” But we don’t for the obvious reasons. That term was created with the intention if division. And it worked a treat. P.S., soon they will be singing that lively racist South Afri an song ” Kill the Boer” but renamed ” Kill the Whitey” especially when the make Mike Obama the next president.
SPURWING PLOVER says
And to think how upset Liberals were when Gladis Knight sang the National Anthem or the Star Spangled Banner
Kim says
When is the game ? .stopped watching it long ago when they inserted their racist heads into their anal cavities. Why support bullshit , when there are is time to clean the garage.Or go fishing or take a nap. I played sports, Don’t understand the mystical lure to watch others play.
Who is Taylor shift anyway?????
don stock says
, so let us rename The National Anthem and call it the WHITE National Anthem.
Jerry Raynor says
I’ve been watching the NFL since 1965 . Baltimore Colts fan .Don Shula went to MIami Dolphins in 1970, been follow them since. Seen a lot of changes in the NFL , which is natural with every business ( The NFL IS NOTHING BUT THAT ! I will not watch the Super BOWL or the NFL if they play a Black National Athem . What’s next ?? Hope they lose viewers by the millions !
Andrew Blackadder says
Negro Americans are no more African than Bill Clinton is a European.
Negroes in America have no idea how lucky they were to be born in a country that offers them every chance, every opportunity to be the best person they can be however as the old adage states you take a Horse to water but you cant make it drink.
When I see or hear Negroes in the USA scream about white supremacists then I have to believe they are looking up at Caucasians as the very definition of equality so I guess they must think Im superior to them as they often tell me so.
Should I start believe them or should I suggest they start by cleaning up their neighborhood as Malcolm X suggested… and look what they did to that Negro.
Success is the best revenge.
Darryl says
Fans need to take an ass, or turn their backs.. The racism in America is all coming from Black America, and since George Floyd, and BLM, exponentially so..
These black racists and segregationists have taken in the mantle of the Grand Wizards of the KKK. They have bred a population as antisemitic as Hitler, and Asians avoid universities in black neighborhoods for fear of violence..
NFL supports racism. Football fans need to give these “wizards” conjuring up racists our backsides.
DonJuan says
Jerod Mayo the coach, say he sees color in the locker room and wants diversity. I think he should recruit some petite Asian women for his offensive line?
Magvitum says
Blacks in America have instituted APARTHEID! I guess they do like it! They dont want to participate or join with other groups! I wonder whether they would prefer to live in an ALL BLACK NATION such as those in Africa? Would they feel happy there at last?
Wayne Roberts says
Viewed from afar (Australia), reverse racism seems rampant in america.
ChinaJoe IsA TreasonousPOS says
All I can say is that the NFL and BLM can both “go make love” to themselves.
And so can China Joe and the supposed “man” pulling his strings from the shadows – Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama.
J R Harmon says
Not going to waste my time watching the super bowl next week. I’m turning my back on it.
Mel Schobel says
I have cancelled my sports channel a long time ago. I do not watch sports of any kind. It’s a turn-off to watch biological men play in women’s sports. Boxing was my favourite sport to watch and that too has been contaminated. Disney has followed the same path so that’s off my radar as well. Bud tastes like a rotten spud so I changed my allegiance. When I go out on a date the first order of business is a search and frisk. Watching sports, dating, and drinking are no longer enjoyable pastimes. What’s left??.
