The NFL Clown Show with the so-called "black national anthem"

[j-mac]

You don't have to automatically love the national anthem just because you love the nation, in the same way red, white and blue don't have to be your favorite colors and hot dogs and apple pie don't have to be your favorite food.

It's a bad song. It's okay to admit it. Singers have to jazz it up a lot because we all know: it's just a bad song. That ends in a question.

(Case in point: no great songwriter would write the high note on the word "freeeeeeee"....which is a horrible vowel to sing on. Just. No.)

Not going to agree here…your opinion of the melody is irrelevant to the discussion really…

Hate to burst your balloon but Chris Stapleton has said that black lives do matter. He made that comment after the death of George Floyd.

Who said they don’t? It’s a giant straw man.

How dare her not think exactly like you. That just will not be allowed.

No one said she had to…is that what you demand liberal?

You did not use those exact words yet that is what you are doing. You are attacking her for not thinking just like you.

One thing has nothing to do with the other.

they are both pandering to the 13% of the population that is black or part black. They are exactly the same thing, the left trying to buy black votes, wake up, you are being played.

gator thinks this if funny. So Gator, is it not pandering and trying to capture black votes when the dems and the media constantly hype the "black national anthem" and "Kwanza" ? Is it not pandering when every commercial has to have a mixed race couple, a gay couple, and a couple of trans kids? They are trying to change our culture, wake up.

Hardly. This is one country with many different cultures. All people should be able to celebrate their own cultures. There is nothing wrong with black people having their own anthem.

only if they declare that they are no longer US citizens and secede from the USA as a separate country. Do you see that happening? All citizens of the USA have ONE national anthem, we don't have one for each race.

**** that.

 

[Redfish]

**** that.

cool reply, lots of intellect on display there. So you want the country divided but you are not willing to actually divide it, maybe another option for you would be to return to your roots in Africa. Would you be better off there singing the national anthem of Kenya or Congo? Some of the richest people in the USA today are black----Oprah, Lebron, Beyonce, Jay Z, Kamala, Whoopi, Should those rich people get reparations because their ancestors MIGHT have been slaves? You seem to want a race war in this country, WHY?

When white Americans start treating people of color like equals let me know.
This country has never been united. Its white people and there is everyone else. That is bullshit.

Good chat.

Um, no…

 

[Frankenstein]

The NFL has gone woke.

It is dead to me!

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Um, no…

You can deny it all you want, but it is there for everyone to see. You even accused her of not loving her country all because she is not fond of the song.

Not sure why you bother to deny it when you do it every single day on this forum

So Oprah is not treated as an equal? white people have made her insanely rich. If you hate this country so much why are you here instead of your African homeland?

Oprah is 1 person.
EQUALITY FOR ALL.

Quote me saying that she doesn’t love her country, liar.

Maybe you feel nothing, because you don’t have any respect for the country…
