The NFL will reportedly play “Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing,” which is also known as the black national anthem, before every Week 1 NFL game in the 2020 season, according to ESPN.

The decision to play the song comes following the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd, which led to nationwide protests over racial inequality and police brutality.

According to the ESPN report, the song will be played before “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

I know of a place they can go.
It’s this magical continent.
The animals dance and sing, and the food is endless.

Every fan in the stadium should take a knee.

It sounds like a joke with a really bad punchline.

The thing is, it’s WHITE people pushing this. Most black people are just sitting back and laughing at all this.

”I like big butts and I can not lie

You other brothers can’t deny

That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist

And a round thing in your face

You get sprung, want to pull up tough

‘Cause you notice that butt was stuffed”

Ha ha! That was the first song that I thought of, too.

In week 2 they’ll play the “Black National Anthem” but not “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

For Christmas Day games, spectators will join hands and sing Kwanzaa carols.

Bro-homia is in the Mississippi delta. All black people will be forcibly transported there right after BLM totally alienates all the white people. There will also be a new gay homeland in San Francisco, now to be known as Fudge-Pack-istan, with the national anthem of Take a Walk on the Wild Side. The white, straight people will remain in the rest of the United States, which will be re-named White-land-ia, and whose national anthem will be You’re Walkin’ on the Fightin’ Side of Me. Visitors will have to “get down and squeal like a pig” just for starters. Indigenous peoples will live in Washington, DC, and harass visitors with drums, singing one of those Hayo-haya-hey-ha things that will pass for a national anthem in a pinch. Juden-Raus! kein Jerusalem gegangen.

But at least it won’t be that hateful, racist country called the US of A anymore.

“Men of Harlech, stop your dreaming,
Can’t you see their spearpoints gleaming,
See their warrior pennants streaming,
To this battle field!

Men of Harlech stand ye steady,
It can not be ever said ye,
For the battle were not ready,
Welshmen never yield!

From the hills rebounding,
Let this war cry sounding,
Summon all at Cambria’s call,
The mighty force surrounding!

Men of Harlech on to glory,
This will ever be your story,
Keep these burning words before ye,
Welshmen will not yield!”

I’d suggest a white male piñata for the players to beat.

Political pandering, of course, but I just looked it up... great lyrics, especially the third stanza:

Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
‘Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning 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.

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
‘Til now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.

IOW, BLACK PRIVILEGE.

(Proven by all the half-blacks who choose to be “black”.)

As usual a mere 12% of the population gets their way and gets to have their say.

Can those in attendance take a knee to protest Black on Black crime and Black on White crime?

Re: “Think I’ll take a knee.”

That will be interpreted as supporting Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin.

You will be fired from your job.
