'It's segregation': Bill Maher slams NFL for playing 'black national anthem' at games and warns having different anthems for different races is dangerous

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....

Is it me or is Maher becoming more conservative and Coulter, his former squeeze becoming less conservative as times goes.

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

Nah, he just doesn't like it when his side does stupid stuff that embarrasses him.

He like to think of himself as an old time liberal {which he equates with goodness and the moral high ground}.

He is a good reader of the public mood, and wants to keep his gig going, so on occasion, he criticizes the loons of the left.

Be careful though. I think the whole “Black National Anthem” is a ploy to get people to change our National Anthem.

For a blind squirrel, Maher has been finding quite a few acorns lately.

I think Maher knew all along, he just decided a long time ago to cast his lot with the leftists, because that’s where the money was.

Whether a group isolates themselves or is isolated by the force of others, the kinetic nature of culture will always result in elimination of that isolated group from the majority of society. They’ll be left in the rubble and rear view mirror.

Maher’s right - ONE national anthem is the right numbers.

Here’s the truth about the black national Anthem...

REPUBLICANS WROTE IT.

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.

And it wasn’t written as as anything political or nationalistic. It was written simply as a hymn. It’s been in Baptist hymnals for decades.

It’s a cryin’ shame to hear truth and wisdom coming from the mouth of such a devout liberal fanatic. Now I can’t dispise old Bill as much as I want to. I hate being wrong. When did he begin to hear truth and believe it? I can’t trust him to behave like one of Satan’s minions anymore.

If Maher is right, I suppose next we will see the NFL introduce an Asian anthem. What will it be called? “Remember Pearl Harbor?”

All right, that will work for Japanese-Americans. Unfortunately we’ll have to find something else for Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hmong and Filipinos.

I thought his original version of Politically Incorrect was politically incorrect. It was so popular, ABC bought it and turned it PC but kept the name. BM followed the money and put out a lot of pc bm.

As a side note, I wonder if this is when he and Ann split?
