Bill Maher took aim at the NFL for playing Lift Every Voice and Sing - otherwise known as the black national anthem - at Thursday's game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Real Time with Bill Maher host warned that having two different national anthems, based on race, was a slippery slope to 'segregation' but 'under a different name,' he said.

'I think when you go down a road where you're having two different national anthems, colleges... have different graduation ceremonies for black and white, separate dorms... this is what I mean: segregation,' Maher said on his Friday show....

never thought I'd post an article about Maher, but, he's right. It's promotion of segregation.

I will immediately kneel at the sound of that song.

It seems Mr. Maher may actually be beginning to care about America somewhere deep down inside.

I will immediately assume the standard "I'm waiting for a date who's 45 minutes overdue"-stance, start tapping my toe impatiently, looking around with a sour facial expression, maybe whip out my cellphone and begin conducting a rather loud conversation with a mentally-impaired helpdesk agent in India.

Regards,

He’s right.

Wait ‘til you hear about some of the lefties promoting different legal systems based on race. It’s coming. They’re already promoting different applications of law/legal outcomes based on race, but this will become more blatant.

It would be a good time for a bathroom break before kickoff.

A BLACK REPUBLICAN WROTE THE NAACP’S NATIONAL ANTHEM
Source: National Black Republicans.com

NAACP’S NATIONAL ANTHEM James Weldon Johnson (1871 – 1938)

Every time the NAACP sings its national anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing, it honors a black Republican, James Weldon Johnson. This inspirational song, which was also adopted in the 1940’s by millions of black Americans as the Negro National Anthem, was written in 1900 by Johnson in collaboration with his talented musician brother, John Rosamond Johnson, to commemorate President Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.

The NAACP itself was founded on President Lincoln’s 100th birthday, February 12, 1909, by white Republicans who opposed the racist practices of the Democratic Party and the lynching of blacks by Democrats.

The left has gone full Jim Crow at this point. We should laugh in their face whenever a leftist claims to be anti-racist.

This Alabama college game’s attendees had a better idea.

They launched into a chant of “F-— Joe Biden”

Bill Maher, like fellow acknowledged high intellects Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz, in order to be intellectually honest, all have to say truths no matter how disinclined they are to their political positions.
Given enough lifetimes they would all be staunch conservatives.

Well said. Let’s not get caught in the trap of letting the democrats maneuver us into rejecting our history and our accomplishments.

Kneeling for a hymn is not inappropriate.

It appears that a new anthem is spreading. It has one line; “F__k Joe Biden”.
