What happens when other races and nationalities want their own National Anthem? That's going to be a 30 min show.

I am black and i feel like this is just making our country more divided.

Identity politics at its worst... now we have to have songs for each color .. and this suppose to bring unity? Biden and his power seekers dividing us into groups to bring us further apart to gain power in a very evil way.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that he wishes "we had listened earlier" to what Colin Kaepernick was trying to bring attention to when he began kneeling for the national anthem in 2016.

Goodell was asked on former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho's video series, "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man," what he would say in a public apology to Kaepernick.

Goodell responded by expressing remorse about the lack of dialogue with the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, saying that the league would have benefited from a conversation with Kaepernick.





This is getting to be like shooting fish in a barrel
Well of course Goodell will say that. The BLM terrorist group would give him hell to pay if he didn’t submit.

And that’s the problem. The radical left is using strong arm tactics to get people to say the “correct” woke things, and other people think they really feel that way.

In 1919 the Germans didn't want to share Europe with the French. Things change, wouldn't ya' say?

Do I think that Roger Goodell believes that one of the biggest problems in our country is innocent unarmed black men being killed by police on a regular basis? No.
Judge Judy would say don't tell me what is in someone else's head because you don't know what is in their head. Yet you insist to make your argument by refusing to believe his own words.

you tell me how Biden who wants to give jobs to Communist China helps black people.. You can't! Trump wanted to bring back jobs by lowering taxes on corporations and take away all those strangling regulations so they could make a profit here and hire Americans and that includes all races.... Biden is giving all Americans the shaft again .


Look around at Detroit, A once thriving city now in ruins. How do you like the ghettos of Baltimore and Chicago while the Communists are building state of the art huge cities to make us look like a third world country?


Those lock downs the dems did , was no favor to minorities either..burned out businesses by BLM , many are black owned businesses. You tell me how the democrats help you...give a small crumb of a welfare check while taking black businesses down and their jobs too. Disgusting.

Kind of the same way Trump and his supporters in the GOP are afraid of the, violent white rightwing terrorist?

What? Blacks have their own National Anthem? For what country? I didn't know it was for ANY country.

I assume they meant it for the United States?

Why? Are they trying to tell us that the old "Star Spangled Banner" doesn't stand for them?

Maybe their message is, "We aren't really part of the United States, we need an anthem that represents us, not 'all citizens' "?

"Blacks are different, we just can't be with whites, we want some sort of "Separate but Equal" status?


Umm... isn't that what we've been trying to GET AWAY from, for the last 50-plus years?

When did black people suddenly decide they couldn't relate to "The Star-Spangled Banner", and that they needed s separate anthem?
Or did they?
Did a couple of chronic Social Justice Warriors get together around a microphone and decide it on their own, without the concurrence (or even the knowledge) of most black people?

When did this course reversal happen?
The NFL is a very racist company. MLK is turning over in his grave. The KKK is quite happy with the NFL.

Dirt poor means they need a good job.. Job Killer Biden does not fit the bill. We need a job creating president and that is why they voted Republican.
