We are not headed to a “race war” since many of the traitors are white.

We are headed to a world where the elite rules with an iron fist and use race and climate change and national security as excuses to put a boot on our face.

I was pleasantly surprised cause I thought she was a rapper

I didn’t even have to turn it off like I usually do

[discostu]

Not really. Way back in 1919 the NAACP declared it the “negro national anthem” because of its “cry for liberation”. Which to me isn’t very different than declaring the Cowboys “America’s team”. In the end it’s a pretty song, with a nice message, that really doesn’t have to be color based at all and isn’t in the original text. So in the end what we got was:
a patriotic country song
a kinda patriotic black gospel song
and a patriotic folk song

Really, not a big deal.

what’s the largest non-white group in America?

Latinos...............

“I refused to have my TV showing a racist song that fosters the idea that one group of people is responsible for another group’s massive failures.”

You’re not even close to the meaning of the song. You’ve bought in to the left’s crap. If you believe this, then you’re good with their corruption of the word, “gay”, and the meaning of the rainbow.

They steal good things and make them bad. They’ve done it with this old hymn written by two black brothers (not “bros”) and sung in white churches for a century.

[discostu]

Yeah. What I see was a demographic spread of “target audiences”. They didn’t put any demands on anybody, they didn’t introduce any of them. Just “here’s some songs, enjoy what you like”.

[NWFree]

“ Maybe we can add “La Bamba” as the “Brown” National Anthem, “

Now there’s a song we can have fun with! Lol

[glorgau]

This why I don’t watch these silly events anymore. All the politics that get injected.

Just play the game and maybe a show or something for half time entertainment.

Wait till certain people grasp it is a hymn written by the president of “The Colored Republican Club”. It will lose the moniker of “Black National Anthem” right quick.

[momincombatboots]

Nice post! Did they sing that? I have often considered statistics show Biblical Christianity is found more frequently with blacks.

[lastchance]

It is not a racist song. It is a beautiful hymn. That it has been hijacked to those who use it for political ends does not make it racist. It was written by a black republican.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

"Do they want racism to die, or do they want to keep finding ways to divide us all?” a user rhetorically asked."

There is NOTHING rhetorical about that question. None. Why would the author add that incorrect modifier?

Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸nailed it in a tweet...

The only thing that can unite America forever is creating separate national anthems for each different ethnic groups. I demand each one be played before every game, especially the Superbowl."

Yes, three hours of every separatist, divisive ethnic national anthem would be great. Followed by five minutes of football.

[I want the USA back]

Thanks for the correction. I see it’s not a racist song at all. Damn the left for corrupting something beautiful!

Why not just play “MARCH OF THE VOLUNTEERS” the Chinese National Anthem. It’s much shorter, and conveys the same message.

Stand up! Those who refuse to be slaves!
With our flesh and blood, let’s build our newest Great Wall!
The Chinese Nation is at its greatest peril,
Each one is forced to let out one last roar.
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
We are billions of one heart,
Braving the enemies’ fire, March on!
Braving the enemies’ fire, March on!
March on! March on! On!

[Varda]

Yup, complaining about this is like going to a KKK meeting and complaining that there are racists and FBI agents there.

“Nice post! Did they sing that? I have often considered statistics show Biblical Christianity is found more frequently with blacks.”

They just sang the first verse, nothing objectionable in it that I can find.

“Lift every voice and sing,
’Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on ’til victory is won.”

[US_MilitaryRules]

Right up there with the Whitney Houston’s version.

[Red Badger]

What little bit of show we watched, she looked ANGRY and SULLEN, as if she was not happy to be there and hated the audience.................

Here is an informative and interesting history of the hymn. Well worth reading.

History of Hymns: "Lift Every Voice and Sing"

By C. Michael Hawn, Discipleship Ministries

James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) received degrees in literature from Atlanta University in 1894, with a master of arts in 1904. He had a versatile career as a writer, teacher, diplomat and lawyer, becoming the first African-American to pass the bar in the state of Florida. His diplomatic posts took him in 1906 to Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, and in 1909, to Corinto, Nicaragua, where he served as the American consul.

His most prominent leadership role was as the executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a position that he assumed in 1920.

He was an educated and accomplished man who wrote an inspirational hymn, no doubt. But that doesn't warrant using his song as a separatist hymn at events.
