NFL Announces ‘Black National Anthem’ Will Be Performed at Super Bowl

Sadly you're probably right about that. Because leftist identitarians won't let it go. Its the only way they have any power.

 

You sure it’s the leftist folks who are the problem, because you might wanna check on the OP of this thread who kicked this off in the first place, the same genius who wrote here that black people in slavery here had it “better” than other groups because they got fed. There’s also a poster or two here on the forum with a Confederate flag in their profile pic so you should mention “let it go” to them too.

 

Well, they did have it better in some ways. Very very very few, but in some ways yeah, they did have it better. For instance Native Americans went from having around 60 million people living in N America, to about 6.7 million today. Who had it better in that instance?

As for the poster Virginia Battle Flag avatar (not the Confederate Flag)....why don't you ask him what it means to him? Rather than assuming the reason he has it.

And yes, leftist identitarians are most definitely the problem.

 

You are not paying attention. Read again...

I said:

Historical tidbit: Did you know that the German people were told that the reason they were sending Jews to concentration camps was because they WANTED to go?

 

The thing is the left needs victims, this way they can promise to save them and who to blame their victimhood on. Just look who the left says are victims and pander to: woman, trannies, LGB, blacks, browns, reds, illegals, Hamas, poor people, criminals, and they even said China was a victim when we criticized them during the china virus, it was racist just to hint they were at fault.

 

Oh My God ! I wrote the above expecting that the sarcasm would be obvious. Looks like you really DO believe that

Now we're really in trouble!

 

That's irrelevant. It doesn't matter when it came to be or who learned of it when. It doesn't matter what it was originally intended to be either. It is being trotted out now as "the black national anthem", and that's divisive.

Racism will likely always exist to some extent, but we have already made a lot of progress against it, and not by inviting more of it. We should all be joining together against it, rather than pushing for more of it, as a race based national anthem does.

 

Before you start popping off at the mouth you should probably educate yourself.

 

They do NOT.

I'm going to leave it here. This is one of the most racist threads I've seen in a while, and I have no interest in being part of it. By which I DON'T mean either of you are racists. But the subject matter is. I mean, complaining because black people sing a song they find inspiring is... (I can't say without risking infringement of forum rules) But I'm sure you're just repeating something you heard on the radio, or read online in one of those MAGA forums.

Over the years I have opened several threads to illustrate how institutional racism works, and why there is NO equality. Here is one of them, in case either one of you wishes to be "illustrated"

If not... well, I'm not going to wish anybody in their efforts to act as if racism didn't exist. But have a good rest of your day, anyway...

 

Sure. Easily. Canada, Australia, England, most other first world countries. I meet black immigrants to Canada from the US occasionally and almost all of them remark how they don't feel race conscious here and can breathe more easily. I don't know how much of that has to do with racism and how much has to do with race baiting in the US.

 

I appreciate you distinguishing them from all of the left. They are a loud minority with a lot of public influence. And it's high time the rest of us liberals toon that power back.

 

I think you're very sincere, Golem, and believe I've identified the reason why we're so far apart in our opinions about this 'Black national anthem' song alongside The Star Spangled Banner. You believe that having this demonstration illustrates the plight of a Black population that is mistreated by the criminal justice system, and which is also discriminated against by a White-supremacist society. I believe that irrespective of the validity or non-validity of your viewpoint, staging an 'alternate national anthem' is entirely inappropriate and does nothing to advance a positive impression of those who endorse doing this.

Now, I wish you good fortune with your Detroit Lions in their upcoming contest with the San Fran 49ers. Detroit is the underdog, and the 49ers have already made eight super bowl appearances. Being a fiscal Conservative in this country, I know what it is to be an 'underdog' -- so, GO LIONS!

 

Np. I should actually probably start using that more often. "leftist identitarian". Whenever I've spoking about "leftists" I've always meant those type of people. But laziness is a thing. I'm well aware of the difference between liberals and leftists. If as you say they are a "loud minority with a lot of public influence", I'm not so sure liberals could tune them back if they tried. Much how Republicans have their own problems with white supremacists and can't seem to get rid of them. Both are huge problems, both are minorities of each side, yet both are like coach roaches...immune to and thriving in nuclear wastelands.

 

we care about bad cops, what a bad cop does to someone like Floyd, a bad cop could do to one of our loved ones or yours

we should all be against criminals that wear badges

 

No matter what the cop did or what color he was, Floyd put himself in the position he was in and would still be alive today (maybe) if he wasn't pumped up full of drugs while committing crimes. Also, when a white person has a bad experience with the cops you don't tend to see riots nationwide with lots of violence, looting, arson and death.

The left has convinced blacks that cops are their enemy and it started with the 2016 Clinton campaign if I remember correctly.

 

nope, the cop had no reason to do what he did to that man

race is not the issue, bad cops is the issue, treat people like humans

 

Show me the Black Constitution. What are their specific enumerated rights? How does their government work? Can black people pick which nation they belong to? What if they don't identify as black or what if I do?

 

Your flag is a losing side that fought to keep and slavery and doesn’t exist anymore, so I think I’m good on the education part, bro.

 

Id like to think the settlers who weren’t killed off by the millions had it better, not the native Americans or black slaves who were considered property.

I’ve responded to him already and I’ve got a feeling my hunch is accurate.

 

The irony in your post is that a lot of people on this forum seem to love making threads picking on and otherwise demeaning the first 6 groups listed there, LGBT and blacks in particular.

 

Whites people also take a beating on this board….we owe reparations for something we never did.

 

No matter what the Cop at the Capitol did and what color he was, Babbit alone put her life in peril. She would still be alive today if she didn't get addicted to her cult and worship of her mango messiah.

You agree?

 

I think the cop could have retreated to a safe place or used less lethal force.

 

So you feel the same about Chauvin?

 

Chauvin didn't shoot anyone, was responding to a crime in progress and making an arrest.
