C'mon. This is really, really getting sad.
Wanted to vent, again. Another moment of the black National Anthem

What a freaken joke. There is no black country. We have one Anthem, it is for White, black and all other races. What is next, different water fountains and different seats on the bus?

Won’t be long before they start each meeting with an acknowledgment that they are on stolen indigenous land.
Interesting choice to capitalize "White."
What was your thinking behind that?
Well my question is "why"?

Time to take a knee.
As per the AP...
NEW YORK (AP) — After changing its usage rules last month to capitalize the word “Black” when used in the context of race and culture, The Associated Press on Monday said it would not do the same for “white.”
I decided to do the opposite.
I think it is mindsets not unlike yours which give rise to Black folks having an anthem, other than the American one.
while they play it. It's scary that people of any color don't see how wrong this is.

Not my mindset that makes anyone not be proud of their Country. Maybe it is the mindset of those that think they need their own song that is pushing a possible negative thought process in this great Country of ours.
Maybe some people need to put their skin color to the back burner and realize that we are one nation... Maybe. I doubt it though.

Its hard to be one nation under God while some people are working so hard to stay separate.
If we're doing seperate national anthems, maybe we should do seperate schools and lunch counters. Nobody's tried those yet, right?

Don't you see the hypocrisy on wanting a national anthem specifically for and to target a demographic based on their skin color? Isn't that in itself racist?
Should we have a white anthem? An Asian American anthem? An Irish american anthem? Where does it end?
The american national anthem is for EVERYONE, all skin colors, all religions, all ethnic ancestry. All american citizens. It's a unifying anthem for everyone. An anthem isn't supposed to separate people based on skin color. Come on.

That would imply there is a black nation and there is not. That would imply the black people are racist and want to separate from the USA.

We're at the point where not responding when the communists spew this kind of crap is counter productive.
A better tactic, I believe, is to mock this nonsense at every opportunity.

The founders and all of those resting in Arlington fought and died in vain.
Elections are corrupted.
Political heads are corrupted by foreign interests.
The court has become another corrupted self enriching component.
Checks and balances no longer exist, much like the constitution.
I took a look. I did not find a separate anthem for asian Americans or got Latino Americans.
Go figure??

You have it backward. Most white people didn't give a shit until certain elements of the media decided to violate long standing custom by giving "Black" capitalization and continuing to not capitalize "white."
You cannot make society atone for past sins by asking that society repeat those sins.
The capitalization is not instigated by The Media in many circles. Do you have any other ideas about why some people choose to capitalize Black?

I'm guessing some ideas of ethnic superiority.
And / or a misguided notion that taking pride in ethnicity will somehow erase the effects of poor personal choices and addiction to the welfare state.

I will not stand for another national anthem other than the anthem of the United States of America. Africa has many afro-centric anthems. We don't live there. Feel free to go enjoy their anthems.

When I see obvious racist shit like this going on, I just call it what it is -- racism.
Shit like this will only continue if there is not a unified effort to oppose anti-American crap like this. Democracy is, and always has been, an ongoing battle of words, hearts, and minds.

Do tell. Stop playing games.
You seem to be alluding to my ignorance of something. I'm well aware that I'm ignorant about a great many things and I strive to be open to correcting said ignorance. Condescension makes me decidedly less open to it.
