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.

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?”
