This is what they support week in and week out. The NFL made it abundantly clear white people are a problem with their DEI initiatives, Black Lives Matter, kneeling, putting criminal names on helmets, #endracism, The black national anthem, etc... Conservatives need to STFU already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is another incredibly ignorant comment. What you’re basically saying is that you’d rather be a slave than dead. BFD. Even during the worst years of the Great Famine, like 1845, the Irish peasants were free to emigrate. Black slaves were not. Trying to compare the two is really awful.

jerryskids 5,735 Posted February 12 I miss the good old days of just the anthem. With this song and America the Beautiful, we now have 3 songs. I imagine the players are thrilled to stand there for 10 minutes and cool down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you think people could just walk down to the dock and hop on a boat? You needed money for that. You think the ones being starved had money? Also, have you ever heard of a coffin ship?

I’ve read a few books on the Great Famine in my time. It was a horrible time. And it was completely preventable. Potatoes were the only crop that failed- Ireland produced plenty of food to feed the natives but it was shipped to England by the British landlords who were in debt. These same landlords also prevented the peasants from fishing in order to protect land ownerships for the Scots Protestants they had imported in Ulster. It was a terrible time. But trying to compare it to the centuries of American black slavery is just absurd and awful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seafoam1 2,291 Posted February 12 When is someone going to tell these fruitcakes that we only have one national anthem? https://www.foxnews.com/media/democratic-congressman-hits-super-bowl-fans-not-standing-negro-national-anthem Democratic congressman hits Super Bowl fans for not standing for 'Negro National Anthem' A Democratic congressman raised some eyebrows online Sunday when he took a shot at the Super Bowl crowd in Las Vegas, saying very few fans stood for the singing of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," calling it "not a very pretty picture." Known colloquially as the "Black National Anthem," Grammy winner Andra Day performed the song as part of the pre-game festivities for Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. "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. Cohen's tweet drew attention online, and the Democrat responded to his critics in the moment. One told him he should only stand for one national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," but Cohen wrote back, "I stand for both. And in Memphis, most do."
