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.

“But I guess it’s easier to walk to the box cars than be carried fighting.”
The people are too stupid and lazy to fight for anything. Killing them has been easy for the elites. Hell, give them a donut and they line up for the Genocide Juice.
Did anyone take a knee?
The point is to eventually replace The Star Spangled Banner with it, I give it about 20 years before that becomes reality.
I was hoping for an Indigenous People’s National Anthem. After all, it was the Chiefs playing.
We must have national anthems for every race. In fact, let’s just dispense with the game to make time for them all. Let’s just make a day of it. They must also be prioritized so as to not be raciss. Naturally, that means blacks first. Did I say “every race?” Of course I did not mean Jooooows or white people.
Yes, the Jesus commercial(s?) were strange!
Did you see the Volkswagen commercial? It was kind of a history of VW in America, starting with the original Beetle coming off the ship...up to modern VW models...progressing thru various models over the decades. I'm not absolutely positive, but I think they had two women kissing while in the front seat of one of the older models...one of the women in a wedding dress. It was a brief shot of them, so I'm not positive.
Found it..go to about the 1:35 mark...two women swapping spit.

Evil, more like.

It is, indeed, a beautiful hymn--written before hymn-writing became a lost art--and it's in our hymnal. When we first performed it at our church, I thought, judging from the lyrics, that it was likely inspired by World War I and probably written during the Versailles Conference. However, it was written much earlier.
I agree. While it was written from the perspective of African Americans in the late 19th century, the hymn is a prayer of thanksgiving to God as well as a prayer for faithfulness and freedom, with imagery that evokes the biblical Exodus from slavery to the freedom of the "promised land." It speaks to all Americans in that respect. It was written in commemoration of Abraham Lincoln's birthday, but it can also be seen as respecting all who died in the Civil War and the Revolutionary War:
Come to the place For which our fathers died. We have come, over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, 'Til now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
And it states that America is our, all of our American cititzen’s Native Land.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet, stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land.
That’s WONDERFUL!
LOLOL!!!
Made my day. ;)
Probably bankrolled by Soros. All I now know is that Jesus might have become an abortionist, chopping off instead of restoring ears, if he lived now, maybe he’d have worn a bloody vagina hat while washing feet.
Sick, sick propaganda.
"Very very few stood for ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing,’" Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. wrote on X. "The Negro National Anthem. Not a pretty picture of Super Bowl crowd." Cohen represents a majority-Black district in western Tennessee.
We're getting there!

Except that I offered a logical argument for my standpoint. I pointed out discrepancies in the belief that "it's just a song." I explained my position.
All you do is state an opinion - without providing any back-up, any supporting arguments, any analogies - nothing!
Regards,
I have no issue with “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” being performed. It is a fine song.
I have an issue with it being presented as the Black National Anthem and performed under those auspices.
But if you blinked...
To me it was calling anti-abortion protestors haters.
