That was a stupid question.

Unintelligent people who don't feel included in things they are included in really shouldn't be pandered to. Maybe pity them if you want, but largely they are best ignored.

First of all, a black "national anthem" isn't a national anthem at all just because someone said it was. It's also racist and pandering to one segment of the population.

If you want your own national anthem, go start your own country. Then you can have Tupac or any other cop hater you want sing some garbage and have yourself a party.

This BS doesn't belong in this country and real Americans think it's a joke.

I don't get this thought that you need to have everything different and then expect it to be equal. You can call your hymn anything you want, but it's not our nations National Anthem. The Star Spangled Banner is our National Anthem. No other song will ever be its equal.

The rest of us don't have to play along. I don't have to respect it. It isn't important. It's a beautiful song, but that's all it is, and the NFL is simply patting people on the top of their head and saying, 'Happy? Now go sit down'.

And only a damn fool doesn't see that.

Agreed. It is somewhat akin to the old "ebonics" movement. Just another symptom of the underlying problem with black America:


FAILURE TO ADOPT WESTERN VALUES AND ASSIMILATE


As long as blacks cling to a terrible culture, they are doomed. However, it is easier for them to blame everyone else and rationalize, rather than practice introspection and improve themselves. That would require work and complaining is easy.

That you have yet to articulate an answer for. Either it did or it didn't. So, did it include everyone when it was written or not?

Private company, they can do whatever the hell they want, play "The Internationale" for all I care, which is the direction/goal these fools are going anyway.

No different than the State of California deciding that Algebra is no longer required for a college degree because too many minorities couldn't pass even basic Algebra.

Raise them up! DON'T give in and race them to the bottom.

Real Americans are Native Americans. Are you referring to the race of people who stole this land from them?
