If you aren’t black do you have to stand?
I see nothing in those lyrics that I find offensive.
For me, black history in the US starts with the Casor lawsuit of 1654, where Anthony Johnson, a former indentured servant who had worked off his indenturement and become a wealthy freeman had John Casor working for him as an indentured servant.
Casor’s indenturement, having expired, wanted to work with a Robert Parker, Johnson’s neighbor.
Long story short, Johnson filed a suit in Northampton Court for the return of John Casor, and won with the court finding that Johnson (a black man) owned Casor (a black man). It was the first instance that a court in the colonies held that one man could own another.
For 15 years, based on the Casor case as precedent, only blacks could own blacks as slaves. It wasn’t until 15 years later that a law was passed allowing native americans and whites to own slaves.
So let’s all celebrate black history. Slavery, pioneered by blacks, for blacks, in the US.
he has veto power ... and didn’t use it ...
Hey!!
You can’t call them midgets anymore.
You just can’t Toss that out there.....
I didn’t hear any kind of request at all. I suppose it’s technically possible and they just didn’t broadcast it on TV but that would be odd. From what I saw they just started tossing out the music. No fanfare, no intros, no requests. Just the tunes.
It is INTENDED to divide, not unite. If we cannot stand at the same song, salute the same flag, love the same sets of standards, we are not united. We are UNtied.
It is their strong suit. You are welcome.
STOP WATCHING THE NFL!!!
The first year of Roger Goodell's commissioner-ship, I wrote him a letter and predicted that he would preside over the destruction of the NFL and its image. He seems determined to prove me correct!
Imagine the reaction if somebody hacked into the stadium’s system and replaced “Black National Anthem” with “Dixie”?
NFL Fans Bitterly React To Inclusion Of “Divisive”
Black National Anthem At Super Bowl
+++++++++
Life is ever changing and has since the world began. It will
continue until we die of some cause or other. People forget
what this land called North America was like when Columbus
sailed the Ocean Blue in 1492. It will continue changing for
each until the end of times . JMO
DEI.
Millions of lolzz for your eruption
What any beer swilling nor racist wants to know is why is his (fake) Blondie
#### a coal burner and who cuts Patrick Mahomes sidewalls. I
Truly massively abhor such racism and am just saying
There is ONLY one National Anthem.........PERIOD
This song causes division........PERIOD
If you’re saying you want racial quotas on football teams then I don’t agree with you. Pick the best players, regardless of race.
Also, if the leagues allow biological males to play on girls and women’s sports teams, it will ruin girl’s/women’s sports.
Like Kwanzaa, more made-up bullshit.
I think it’s unfair that the Asians didn’t get their national anthem.
That was funny.
