Are you ready for the Black National Anthem to be played at NFL games?

Just wondering where this country has gone when the initial object was to be The United States of America.

Only if there can be a white National Anthem.

Since the goal now is NOT to be united.

Had a white national anth-- Oh.
Third verse of the Star-Spangled Banner.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Let me know if I need to provide historical context.

Honestly CatMan - if that was the first verse - the song

would never be sung (or is it sanged?).
Nobody knows the 3rd verse - or would ever sing it if they did.

I know, just playing semantics.
I didn't know there was a black national anthem either.

you live in the greatest country on earth where we still honor the ideals of individual liberty but have grown and learned to apply that to all people, regardless of race, creed, or color, and where slavery was abolished 150+ years ago and a black man or woman can rise, by the will of the people, to be the most successful, powerful human on the planet. Sing that anthem proudly and realize that NOW what it stands for applies to us all, black, white, whatever. Quit trying to divide. Try uniting instead.

I mean, we don't celebrate traitors that lose wars against America....I hope there's not a statue up somewhere of these folks.

Calling the slaves the Brits enlisted to fight for their freedom "traitors". That's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out.

It's not an actual "national anthem." Thought you might have known that.

Well we elected the biggest scumbag divisive president in US history. Your opinion is pretty much worthless considering you are one of his biggest cheerleaders.
