Super Bowl 55 kicked off Sunday with recording artist Alicia Keys singing the so-called black national anthem, “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,” along with a poem.
Hitmaker Alicia Keys was tasked with a virtual performance of the 121-year-old spiritual song that has come to be known alternately as the “black national anthem” after being introduced in 1899 for Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. The poem read in 1899 was set to music in 1900.

My superbowl is awaiting buttered, coconut oil popcorn for American Sniper.
All who watched this other thing today are dumbasses.
Lol
Sucessful irony must contain an element of truth. Well done.
I only tuned in for the halftime show because my girlfriend's nephew, Abel, was performing. I usually prefer to listen to Bach, so, there...I did my duty.
"Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 August 22, 1989) was an African-American political activist and revolutionary who, along with Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. He continued to pursue an education, eventually earning a Ph.D. in social philosophy.[1][2] In 1989 he was shot and killed in Oakland, California. ..."
"As a student at Merritt College in Oakland, Newton became involved in politics in the Bay Area. He joined the Afro-American Association (AAA), became a prominent member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, Beta Tau chapter; and played a role in getting the first African-American history course adopted as part of the college's curriculum.
He read the works of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Frantz Fanon, Malcolm X, Mao Zedong, Émile Durkheim, and Che Guevara.
During his time at Merritt College, he met Bobby Seale, and the two organized the Black Panther Party for Self Defense in October 1966.[3]"

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey [Newton] rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Below are the names and photos of 35 Police Officers who were murdered by the Black Panthers and the subsequent Black Liberation Army in the 60s, 70s and 80s [click link for list and details].
The Black Liberation Army was an organization that grew out of the Black Panther Party, composed of former Black Panther Party members, operating from about 1971-1980. Another two police officers on the list were murdered by the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group with ties to the Black Liberation Army.
Despite this readily available information, today the internet was full of articles criticizing those who were upset by Beyonces Super Bowl Halftime performance, and questioning how anyone could be upset over a woman affirming her blackness. Their analysis couldnt have been more off.
We have no issues with someone affirming their blackness or any other identity they want to affirm. We do take issue when people pay homage to a group that used terrorism and violence to promote racism and revolutionary socialism a group that murdered dozens of police officers in cold blood.
As you scroll through the list of officers below, look at their photos and read their stories. Among these officers are black men and white men. Rookies and veterans from across the country. Most were killed in unprovoked attacks and ambushes. They all left behind families .
Perhaps Beyonce, someone from the NFL, and someone representing CBS, could read through this list and tell us if they still stand by their decision to honor the Black Panthers during the Super Bowl. Then perhaps they could explain their answers to the surviving wives and children of these fallen officers. ...

========================
With the 49ers visiting the Dolphins this week, San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick engaged in a conference call with members of the South Florida media. However, one reporter wanted to discuss something that happened in August, when Kaepernick wore a shirt that appeared to show support for Fidel Castro, which led to a tense exchange.
The shirt depicted scenes from a 1960 meeting between Castro and Malcolm X, and it bore the phrase, Like minds think alike. Kaepernick wore it to a news conference after the 49ers third preseason game, which was when his refusal to stand during the national anthem became a major national story.
______________________________________________________________
The August evening the nation first noticed Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem at an NFL game, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback held a postgame news conference, as is typical league policy.
At that news conference Kaepernick wore a T-shirt emblazoned with photos from a 1960 meeting between Malcolm X and Fidel Castro.
So after his first notable protest against what last week he called the systematic oppression of minorities in the United States, and saying he wants freedom for all people, Colin Kaepernick put on a T-shirt that featured a supportive image of one of the 20th centurys most enduring oppressors.
This absurd contradiction between what Kaepernick said and does was only a distant annoyance to me because, although I was born into Cubas imprisonment, I dont often write about Kaepernick or his team.
for those that arent watching..it seems like I am not the only one that thought they looked like jock straps
here is a pic

I went with Master & Commander.
Is BLM and the Democrat Party producing the Super Bowl for CBS?
What do people expect Jay Z is in charge of halftime shows now thanks to Goodell.
Expect more of this America hating crap in the future.
Yep, jock straps for woke-utopians...
That’s why the national anthem “duet” was so messed up - they couldn’t tolerate having a white guy sing it alone.
How many freedom-loving patriots were there? That is - how many people walked out?
Many of the commercials look like what you’d see during the Dr. Phil program. (Though I like the Beavis & Butthead cameos!)
So did we!
True racial justice won’t be achieved until every one of those BLM Commies has a gated mansion in Calabasas.
this waynes world commercial is creepy in all kinds of ways.
just saw people talking about the hannibal face masks by the choir at half time....forgot about that weirdness
I am watching the game but muting the b.s. I really miss the days before the left infected the game.
They half-heartedly tried to put somebody on who sang the right words, but the music was so different, I could barely recognize it. I think they call that a re-mix. It’s supposed to be highly creative.
In the Army we often got noodle soup, made in the field at night in paper cups. That was the nice thing about being the field artillery and having the cooks and their built up deuce and a half truck with the firing battery.
And the worshipers of the NFL on Free Republic said in unison: “I agree, I agree. T6hank you, May I have another, master.
