Black people belong alongside the rest of American society, sharing in the freedoms and values that were set forth by our Founding Fathers some 245 years ago. We are all Americans, we are all equal under God, and we must stop trying to divide ourselves with bullshite like a "Black National Anthem."

Oh the backlash is coming, and it will be strong. The CNN's are already calling it the 'whitelash'.

If you need your own national anthem, you need your own country, and that isn't here.

The Black National Anthem has been apart of HBCU'S for over a century . This isn't a recent creation. Tradition is only respected when you perform minstrel songs like " The Eyes of Texas" that clowns like you get upset over.

It's a beautiful tradition, a beautiful woman is going to perform it beautifully despite your whining.

This is so divisive. We are all Americans who have to stick together for our collective good.

Are white people allowed to sing along with the black national anthem? Or are we supposed to just start washing feet when it's sung?

If I have to skip over the n-word in all my favorite rap songs because I’m white and can’t say it, then I’m pretty sure you can’t sing any of the black national anthem.

It was so well-known no one had ever heard of it before a couple years ago; just like Juneteenth. Funny how those just happened to start getting pushed by the media as the Walk Away movement started gaining traction in the black community and overall conditions for blacks started to markedly improve. The Left couldn't allow them to escape the Democratic Plantation.

Well, from a functionalist perspective, I'd say they're doing a fantastic job of propping up your self-esteem.

Chances are 100% that you’re also the descendant of traitors and losers.

HBCUs are legacies of Jim Crow and thus have no place in our modern society. They should have been disbanded with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Black National Anthem does nothing but promote segregation and division.

Now you’re confusing yourself. It was clowns like you who got upset and wanted to cancel the eyes of Texas. Nobody on the planet was upset about it until one of your people decided to be.

Keep clinging to your victimhood. It’s pathetic but at least consistent.

If white people kneel or turn their back and raise their fist during the “black national anthem” will they be racist or standing up for a just cause greater then themselves?… hmmmmm

Did you know the US Post Office issued a commemorative stamp following Vanessa Williams Miss America crowing? But after the picture scandal broke, they had to recall it...no one was sure which side they had to lick....
