Do you think there would have been a civil war if white people didn't think slavery was a bad thing?

That song was a symbol of hope when white people wanted black people to have none. To disparage the song and say it creates disunity is just a blatant display of ignorance, hate, and quite frankly racist. I have seen you disparage the ACTUAL national anthem, which also is supposed to bring unity and give hope to those lucky enough, yes LUCKY enough to be citizens of this fine nation.

If there has been any song that has created disunity, it is the star spangled banner. See the above response. What about the words of that song remotely would cause disunity? The only thing is if you CHOSE to feel differently about a country that has some history that wasn't so great for some people, but that continues to try to improve itself and be a shining example of progress and hope for people all over the world. I would certainly challenge you to point to a country doing that better than this one.

I honestly didn't want the Black National Anthem to be played before the game, but now I hope you all hear the song so much around Week 1 that it makes you sickWell, that sounds like you are the type of person that enjoys division and really doesn't want any actual healing of your perceived wounds.

This is the posting of someone that tries to see the division in everything, not the common ground.

That is an excellent simile.

Kap really has it rough in the US doesn’t he? Look this picture is worth a 1,000 words. The oppression he deals with and the life he has to live is heart breaking. The middle class American feels for you Kap.

You think it was getting benched?

I always thought it was more attributable to him getting some strange with the Radical Leftist Islam Chick.

Either way... he seems pretty highly susceptible to suggestion.

I'm not sure what the reason was, I just find it funny he's the face of this when it's clear he hasn't always felt oppressed.

His before and after "woke" life is certainly a stark contrast.

You guys always say we should look past and forgive racist tweets from years before. Kaep grew and learned over the years.

Question : If people want their own National Anthem, doesn't that mean they are not Americans (since we have our own)? If people want to be a part of a country, then why would they want to separate themselves from the rest of us (as in U.S.)? Isn't it better to try to merge yourselves into this melting pot we call America?

I so much wish we all (black, white, Asian, Latino, etc.) can live together in harmony and peace... Bc
