[O.T.I.S.]

Wheres the facebook link so i can poop on anyone i see making negative comments on what he saying

 

[Londilon]

Of course the anthem is racist lmao, who didn't know this?

i guess I'm the only nikka who went to a black school in a black neighborhood as kid, we never sung that shyt, we sung the black national anthem which was written in 1871

no wonder I got argue with cacs and c00ns about the moors, you don't even know there is a black national anthem with a storied history





This is what I sung every morning in class.

I know how to sing this song but not the National Anthem

Would be interesting to see the response from ALL black athletes now knowing this info about the song itself, police brutality issues aside. Will they continue to stand as to not make massa mad or will they show some racial pride?

What will our heroes do?

 

[BruhMayne]

Whats worse is black ppl LOVE the song "Amazing Grace"

Shyt was literally written on a slave ship...by a slave trader

 

[Ol’Otis]

slavery is weaved in every fabric of America

the average bank in America has ties to slavery

That's how they got started in the transatlantic slavery business
Seems like that's how the majority of American corporations got started

"Lift Every Voice and Sing" — often referred to as the "Black American National Anthem"— is a song written as a poem by James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938) in 1899 and set to music by his brother John Rosamond Johnson (1873–1954) in 1900.

It was written in 1899

The funny thing is could've easily googled this before you made that dumb ass post

Now apologize

You said it was written in 1871. I just corrected that.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Standing for that bullshyt is one thing. When i see nikkaz singin that shyt and even havin' tears in their eyes is

I'm usually at the concession stand or bathroom at that time

If they're your heroes, find new ones. Don't put that burden on athletes. That's a problem in of itself

 

[General Mills]

i never knew this.


Listening to Tariqs poscast now and he is mentioning it too.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Singin' the national anthem is like Jay Z rhymin' along to "Ether", Biggie to "Hit 'Em Up", Eiht to "Dollaz & Sense". shyt ain't right.

 

[Knicksman20]

I read about this a while back. I'm glad it's being pushed more out in the open

That was sarcasm

"Burden" to not salute a flag that represents black oppression??
