Why do we even need a National Hymn? This is just more blatant pandering to black people. I think what’s behind it is BLM’s threat that Biden “owes black people” and it’s time to pay up. The real pay-off will come in the form of reparations, which I now believe will happen.
If you don’t care if we have a National Hymn, why do you care what it is? You’re like a toddler (apologies to all toddlers) who doesn’t want the blue block until someone else decides to play with it.

Because it's pandering. After a while, I'd think it would be insulting.

What do you expect? It has worked for them for decades but they don't get how others see that pandering as insulting. This is what to expect when their emperor leads from behind, never doing anything merit based. It will get worse with biden/harris around.
I just heard that in Oregon "The Oregon Cares Act" panders only to blacks, excluding the good American tax payers who provide the funds, so why wouldn't they want their own "hymn"?
Good Lord. Do people not know the difference between The National Anthem (which no one suggested we change) and a damn hymn? Do they even know IF we currently have a National Hymn that would be replaced by his suggestion? Hint: We don’t.
People are losing their minds over their misunderstanding of words and the possibility of something that doesn’t even exist being replaced. Just another day on C-D.
National hymn, national anthem - a rose by any other name is still a rose. The black anthem or hymn has nothing to do with me nor a lot of people. It is for black people to embrace and celebrate.
They cant even stand a Confederate flag, which means a lot to the southerners who embrace it.. they decide to call it a racist symbol. they dont realize that the black hymn anthem IS a racist symbol. i cant support either.. both mean NOTHING to me.
Guess some things can have a measure of honor - like MLK birthday, we all get the day off, etc.

Have you ever heard it sung? It is really wonderful to be part of a congregation (even a white one!) with everyone belting it out.
its not the anthem for everyone.. its just for one group of people. so NO on that being the national anthem. its only for blacks.
What is obvious is the pretenders like BLM, sharpton and delusional elected officials like clyburn and the CBC, who do not speak for the black community at large and the baffled audience who thinks they do.
Hows that kwanza going?
