Andra Day performed "Lift Every Voice and Sing," known as the Black national anthem, ahead of Super Bowl LVIII and received a rousing ovation from the fans at Allegiant Stadium.
Day was tapped to sing the song last month as part of the NFL’s pregame festivities. Additionally, Reba McEntire sang the national anthem and Post Malone did "America the Beautiful."
As Super Bowl Sunday arrived and Day sang, NFL fans on social media hurled criticism for the league having the Black national anthem performed. It started early in the day and continued.

The left wants to take everything and make it left.
It’s not the kind of thing that we should be logical about. It’s become a worshipful and uplifting song to our black citizens. If you don’t agree, don’t agree. There’s no LOGIC involved.
I watched some highlights on X.
I saw the one Jesus ad the first time through and was suspect but took me a couple times to decipher the subtle “love is love” message.

Thanks for making clear that you have chosen to throw rationality and reason out the window!
The majority of American citizens find the fact that this song is being presented as an "alternate" and specifically "Black" national anthem hateful and divisive. They find the fact that at least one Democrat officeholder has criticized White audience members for not displaying the required reverence (by standing) offensive and insulting.

We’re letting the left take it away from us. Rather than complaining about it, we should be pointing out that it came from the Republicans. If fact, we’re letting the left take all of our contributions to equality away from us. It’s as if we don’t want that legacy.
Jesus washes the feet of ALL sinners, not merely His followers. Good enough? Watch it yourself, you tell me.
“It’s as if we don’t want that legacy.”
Nobody is going to thank us.
Get over it.
Learn from it.
Bty, what is the Caucasian National Anthem ??
Asking for a friend.
I have learned from it. I have learned that no matter how many times we threaten the left with our 80 billion bullets or CWII, we won't defend what is ours. We'll do what we do best, which is cave and pay the left to entertain us and provide for us, even as they use our money to lie about us and suppress our voices.
