Well the black national anthem isn’t a thing so.
Never heard it...probably Rap, am I right?
And since I've never listened to one rap piece of crap that can't be clasified as music, screw it.

If I'm ever at an event where they announce the Black National Anthem is to be played, I will remain seated and play with my phone to occupy myself while the shite show goes on.
I am a U.S. Army veteran and I took an oath to the United States of America, where we have one, that's ONE, National Anthem. It's not a white anthem, it's for all U.S. citizens.
BE A LION, PEOPLE....NOT A DAMNED SHEEP!

yet here you are, capitalizing the adjective "black".

As she should. There is no such thing.

I don’t care if they play that song but stop calling it a black national anthem. That title is what pisses people off. The song itself doesn’t seem to be problematic.

The lyrics and music seem kinda Eurocentric.

There is no such thing as a black national anthem so why would you stand for any song that isn't the anthem?

Or somewhere between harmless and treason like most sane people.
It’s purposely divisive.
Glad you see that it’s not a national anthem of any nation.

You're right...my bad, dude! I am so used to capitalizing the National Anthem it just came natural.
But you are 100% correct. I will be more focused in the future when referring to the black national anthem.

You sound like a bit of a snowflake.
I am genuinely curious. Please explain the reason that you feel ethnic groups should NOT be treated as proper nouns.

Pretty much. Some of us can think for ourselves. At least it signals your virtue to others.

Its probably the old Ghanan national anthem.
