All the kowtowing to blacks makes people wary. Because it doesn't fix anything it makes more and more demands and they as a group only get angrier and angrier.

Yes, it's intentional.

They're NOT trying to 'fix' anything - they're going for the results YOU outlined.

Here's a flash: when Soros puts prosecutors in office who put criminals back on the street before their victims are out of the hospital - HE KNOWS IT WILL CAUSE CRIME TO GO UP.

When commies called to 'defund' the police they knew crime would go up.

They are intentionally destabilizing the country.

well it establishes national division by race

We do NOT have two national anthems

Thats exactly the idea being pushed here

They want it to get to the point they only play the other tune under more and more conditions and events and skip playing the actual national anthem

This is all done on purpose

I agree. They need the black voting block, but they’re not willing to improve lives, like Trump was. This hatred and suspicion jaw jacking is the best they can do.

I think I agree with everything you are saying except I don’t think people will remember this “anthem” a year from now. It came from nowhere and it is going nowhere. It’s as fake as everything else the Democrats offer the blacks or anyone.

Wait ‘till the blacks in the NFL see the money dry up. Then see what anthem they sing.

Which makes blacks seem like they are NOT Americans like the rest of us.

When I told my husband about this, he inquired as to what the black national anthem was... Sincerely asking me if I was referring to the DMX song “up in here” and informing me they always play that at football games 😂🤣😂🤣 I cannot stop laughing!!!

PS: this was not a racist thing. He just thought of a rap song that is played at football games. The innocence of his confusion at my outrage is what makes it hysterical

I think we should play the national anthem of the country that each player on both teams was born in or descended from. Then, after we play a couple of dozen national anthems and the “black” anthem, we will have had our cultural enrichment and can go home.

Its a big deal in the black community

More in some circles than others, more southern

But the fact is because its pushed more and more as something impotant as part of being black, it will begin to be regarded by the entire black community as important and a black thing, and not to be for it will be racit and anti-black

Mark it

It wil remain because it is another exploited wedge issue

I almost wish I hadn’t already totally given up on the NFL when they went along with the kneeling so I could give up on football now because of this idiotic decision.

“NFL to play Black national anthem before all major 2021 games, events: Report”

they can play it after every kickoff, punt, field goal and first down conversion if they want to, but i won’t be hearing it a single time ...

Last week the NFL announced that their league is “gay and trans.” This week they announce that the BNA will be a permanent fixture. Will white people be allowed to sing it, or would that be considered “cultural appropriation” and racist / imperialist / colonialist? And if whitey is allowed, the same question holds for urban yodeling the song. Would it be verboten, or mandatory?

Their reaction to plummeting ratings is curious, wouldn’t you say? It’s as if they have a special committee tasked with coming up with ever-increasing ways to insult their core viewers. Or maybe they figure this is a good way to attract woke Gens Z and Alpha?

And just as Juneteenth will replace Independence Day, the BNA will replace the Star Spangled Banner.

Meaning that every time the league pipes the national anthem into America’s homes this season, it’ll be accompanied by “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” Front Office Sports explained.

It won’t be piped into my home.

Not into East Asians personally (prefer Latin, middle eastern and Med types), but when your alternative is “Karen,” what would you expect?

Back to football, it is getting to the point that the NFL will draft Rupaul to play fullback for the Raiders. Now if all of you good ol’ boys wake up and stop buying SEC merch we can get these crybabies to pay attention to the rest of us.
