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.

Oh go eat a chicken, Steve.

[ridesthemiles]

I missed it all-—was feeding animals early to watch the game.

[joethedrummer]

“The Negro National Anthem.“

So.. there’s a country called “Negro”???

[gundog]

Rosa Parks would be proud.

[shadeaud]

Everyone should have taken a knee

[dfwgator]

“Rosa Parks didn’t do nothin’ but to sit her black ass down.”

[Tell It Right]

I’m confused. Wasn’t Lift Every Voice and Sing first put to song to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday? I thought the left was telling us that Lincoln is a bad guy now or something.

Rats never stop pandering.

[God luvs America]

LOL- that’s exactly what i called it when i went to the party i attended and asked,”did the play the negro national anthem yet??”

[Delta 21]

I aint standing for any nee-gro anthem.

[ProudDeplorable]

When did the country of “Negro” get a national anthem and why are we playing it in America?

[Reno89519]

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

[God luvs America]

Someone asked me what i would do when they sang the song if i was at the game. I told them i would pull my pants down and moon the singers.

[lightman]

Best of all: Most of the crowd shots showed many a backside of folks making their way up the stairs!

[for-q-clinton]

The whites won yesterday. They had the better anthem and they had more starters.

I mean this is what democrats want right?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I’m surprised Steve still is in office. He’s in a majority black district. He is appropriating the seat of a black representative. That’s pretty damn racist, if you ask me. Retire Steve and let a POC take your seat.

[BenLurkin]

Why would anyone stand for ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’?

[hanamizu]

So.. there’s a country called “Negro”???

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.

Well, since we’re in the USA and not the ‘usn’........
