I’m not trying to do that. I know your stances are all to the left and all they do is sacrosanct and the right is wrong.

Nothing the left can do is wrong. I understand it.

Actually, the left can do quite a bit wrong and downright silly.

However, and to my knowledge, this came from the NFL, not “the left”.

The black national anthem, their words.

Yes, but that is not the topic of the thread. The thread is about the NFL’s proposal to sing both the anthem and Lift Every Voice, and the subsequent right wing vapor lock.

Lift Every Voice, clearly identified by the NFL and other outlets as the black national anthem. Am I imagining things? How is that not the topic?

Nobody is disputing this. You need to explain your point better.

Again, the thread is about the NFL’s proposal to sing the national anthem and Lift Every Voice (or the Black National Anthem, if you prefer), and right wing objections to that proposal.

Why do we need a black national anthem that gets the same protocols as the national anthem? Regular one not good enough for blacks?

The NFL doesn’t think so.

Besides, aside from an extra 5 minute delay to start, what difference does it make?

[Mountain_Soldier]

Usually anthems are for you know, other countries… but hey, if blacks want their own country… why wouldn’t that seem offensive to some people?

I just don’t get the point of them doing this.

[Bill.in.PA]

Of course will the tv show people kneeling or turning their backs during the black national anthem?

After all free speech is for everyone right?

That’s quite a leap to “they want their own country”.

As far as why, it appears to be an attempt to honor those who were engaged in the struggle for civil rights…

Also, this dual song thing was already done at the last Super Bowl. And yet the republic endured. Are you sure that you aren’t mountainizing a mole hill here?

Absolutely. Just be prepared for a left wing mirror image of the right wing hissy fit

But if it was actually equal, i don’t think there would have been as much anger. the fact that they were blatantly not even close to equal.

Wrong.

Actually Social Justice messaging is very much from the left. It is an attempt by WOKE LIBs to reeducate adult white males about the historical injustices against blacks. I’m not sure how exactly that accomplishes anything in today’s reality, but…

In any case the NFL is feeling guilty about the way they treated blacks who disrespected our National Anthem and are trying to make amends by caving to the WOKE LIB agenda.

Anything related to that topic is open to discussion. Even a few side trips are allowed.

Already been discussed.

Well, good for them.

BTW, did you notice that this dual song thing was done at the last Super Bowl?

It’s weird how America is still a going concern, huh?

Yes, but not by me and Mountain Soldier.

Didn’t watch it.

I’m assuming your next point will be that the world didn’t end. Oops! Looks like you already made that point.

But that doesn’t change any of my arguments or opinions in this thread.

My bad. Being my thread I have an uncontrollable urge to weigh in on most posts, even on those where I should probably hold back.

Been there and done that.

Wrong.

Maybe. We’ll never know.

All you have to do is walk a mile…

@Samm

I don’t need to do the work. I already know the answer.

So you know you are wrong and Title IX doesn’t mention “separate but equal”

Sure it does; that’s what it’s about.

@peek-a-boo

WOKE LIBs are the ones playing the race card. I’m simply pointing it out in my OP and inviting forum members to respond.

I understand what you did… but @Samm apparently doesn’t know you started this thread and mentioned race in the OP (I know it was not specifically you but you brought in another link that mentioned race)

Apparently you don’t know what you are talking about.
