How Exactly Is This Divisive?

Nah, someone will simply like the song, sing a beautiful rendition, then be chastised for it.

Nearly all of them positive, for the twenty or so I read. One comment lamenting that white people don’t get to sing that song and one that there are no poc.

14 positive comments, 4 negative/critical, the rest neutral.

He didn’t say chastised by everyone.

Then perhaps the comment should have been, obviously.

And a couple that complain white folks got no soul, but they are not wrong about that…:rofl:

And now, we wait for a single white person with a monetized channel to get millions of views for singing it. :wink:

Somebody will do something that pisses someone else off?

How prescient!

It’s like he is new to how internet comment sections work :rofl:

So the overwhelming majority thought is was good. (All whites?) It’s the negative comments that are divisive, not the fact that they sang the song.

I wonder how many more times white people would like to tell people they’re “doing it wrong”.

“You’re not protesting properly”

“Why are you asking for another holiday?”

“Why are you singing that song and calling it the Black National Anthem?”

Oh and white people shouldn’t celebrate it.
