The NFL announced this week that “Lift Every Voice and Sing” will be added to the musical lineup ahead of the ultimate showdown in football on February 11, listing it alongside the Star-Spangled Banner - you know, the actual national anthem. The century-old song written by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson, which speaks of liberation from slavery, will reportedly be performed by Grammy Award-winning R&B singer Andra Day this year, having also been performed at the last two Super Bowls since coming into vogue back in 2021.
And people are getting sick of this divisive garbage.
TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk posted a flashback to Whitney Houston’s famous rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, pointing out that a national anthem that includes all Americans nixes any need for another one, much less one specifically for one race of people.

It does seem a bit ironic, does it not, that a league supposedly dedicated to equality, inclusivity, and togetherness would promote a separate - segregated, if you will - national anthem that differentiates people based on the color of their skin.
How very far we've come - or should I say, how very far we've fallen.
