It's selfish. If you have a black national anthem, you need one for all the cultures. All. Of. Them. .....unless they are not about equality at all like they say....

"Lift Every Voice and Sing" was written in 1899. It's nickname is "The Black National Anthem" and it was put forward as a suggestion for being the National Hymn.

There is no conspiracy. Stop listening to Tucker Carlson.

It's just a weird thing to call it "The Black National Anthem." That's... dumb. It's ""Lift Every Voice and Sing."

Calling it a "Black National Anthem" just makes it inflammatory. Why not a "Black Inspirational" or something that doesn't imply there's some separate Black Nation out there? I guess that wouldn't be supportive of the intended messaging?

Anyway, if I heard the song during the Super Bowl, I don't remember it. So, i guess it wasn't horrible?

Weather or not there are songs about all other cultures is besides the point of this thread about opinions of The Black National Anthem and not about any other songs.

You're still here tap dancing around the question, huh? Lol

Never heard of it.

A national anthem is for the nation though.

"pride in color" = racism
just sayin'

That only applies to one group of people.

What "group of people" are you referring to?

When you find out you’re 2 percent black.

I dont see the problem with it. its only divisive if you let it be. Sure there is bad actors on both sides of the arguement, but in the end its a great song and america should be proud to have speech laws that allow things like this to be expressed, even if it isnt pleasing all the time and uncomfy or unsettling.

[Merci]

this is division in its purest form holy crap.
this is the opposite of unity this is just wow omg xD

Or even whether or not.

But aside from that, yeah, I think I addressed my opinion towards the song just like the post states. Now, where is your well-thought-out response?
