Dem. Rep. Steve Cohen Blasts Super Bowl Fans for Not Standing for ‘Negro National Anthem’

White Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen was incensed that Super Bowl fans did not stand in respect for what he called the “Negro National Anthem” during Sunday night’s big game.

As it has for the last several championship games, the NFL opened the Super Bowl with the song “Life Every Voice and Sing,” which many agitators have proclaimed to be “the black national anthem.”

Of course, it isn’t a “national anthem” at all, but regardless, Congressman Cohen was not happy that the video of fans in the stands showed that not many were standing as R&B singer Andra Day performed the popular song.

He quickly jumped to his X account to scold the fans.

“Very very few stood at Super Bowl for ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’. The Negro National Anthem. Not a pretty picture of Super Bowl crowd,” he wrote.

“Negro National Anthem”?

And what nation is that?

Does it have a government?

Representation at the UN?

Recognition by any member states?

Does it have a flag?....................

A Cohen from Tennessee, oh kay. ;^)

It’s a nice hymn. It belongs in church, not at the Super Bowl.

THIS idiot:

White people need to learn to salute their concentration camp guards.

:-(

[hardspunned]

I saw a picture on X of Kari Lake, sitting, looking very put upon, while waiting for the stupidity to end.

[cgbg]

They have Africa.

Their hobby is executing white people.

Don’t forget to sing!

NFL: The owners are elite whites, the players/entertainers mostly black. The product sells well and the owners become even more wealthy often with taxpayer subsidies. Same dynamic and sustainability as cotton plantations.

[GOPJ]

What about the ‘illegals National Anthem’?

That’s not a country either.

The French National Anthem’s nice too. Let’s cancel the football games and just sing Anthems to all the folks who live here.

Racist NFL

I can’t wait for the NHL negro national anthem.

There's a river called el Rio Negro

It's on the left in this image.

I wonder how many RATs would stand up for it if they were aware that it’s an old BAPTIST HYMN from 1900. (Still in many of my Baptism hymnals.)

There are many people that have no idea there is a Negro National Anthem. If they heard it they would not know it.

[DeplorablePaul]

While watching the the Negro National Anthem, I was distracted by the fat, black ladies gyrating, gesticulating and over emoting in the background. This is not the first time that I’ve seen black choirs act this way. It’s like they are all competing to be Beyonce.

"They should have booed and turned their backs, maybe pelting the field with debris."

I thought the black national anthem was "I can't breathe"?

Kind of two, actually. There’s Niger and Nigeria, both named after the Niger River. One must be careful in pronouncing the river’s and the nation’s name.

Like MSNBC was?

[Seruzawa]

Lol. Most Black people think it’s a joke too.

[TomGuy]

I was busy taking down my Kwanza decorations and missed it.

“Baptism” should be “Baptist”.
