“Why Is The NFL Trying To Divide Us?”: ‘Black National Anthem’ Performed At Super Bowl
The NFL kicked off the Super Bowl with a performance of a song that has been dubbed the ‘black national anthem,’ before featuring the actual U.S. anthem, causing anger among detractors who charged that the decision was divisive.
The song, ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing,’ performed by Sheryl Lee Ralph, was adopted by the NAACP in 1917, and has since been known as a ‘black national anthem’.
The NFL has been playing the song before games since 2020 after the BLM riots in the wake of the George Floyd incident.
This is the third consecutive time it has been played at the Super Bowl, but the first time it has been performed live.
Many criticised the move, pointing out that having two anthems sends a message that Americans are separated by race.
Spoiler Alert: The people pushing the “Black National Anthem” aren’t trying to unify the country, they’re trying to divide it.

The only thing that can unite America forever is creating separate national anthems for each different ethnic groups
I demand each one be played before every game
Especially the Superbowl

America has ONE national anthem.

The Black National Anthem is the Star Spangled Banner.
The White National Anthem is the Star Spangled Banner.
The Mixed National Anthem is the Star Spangled Banner.
If you live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, your National Anthem is the Star Spangled Banner.#SuperBowl

If you feel like you need a different National Anthem, you can move to a different country!
Simple, really.
