[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5516370, member: 48469"] I'd say normalizing the performance of something that's very commonly referred to as the Black National Anthem right before the start of our nation's premier cultural event is the kind of big push that would be necessary to make it so. We don't have to try and pretend that that's not what's happening just because Congress hasn't yet passed a resolution that's made it official. It's clearly race-exclusive, inherently divisive and increasingly entrenched. Not a good combination in my opinion. It will now always be a thing before the Super Bowl. And if it's always a thing before the Super Bowl, why wouldn't it always be a thing at any other event....unless any other event is racist? The calls for the performance of the Black National Anthem alongside or even instead of our current national anthem at other events will come. I'll bookmark this post so I can say I told you so when they do. [MEDIA=twitter]1624876280645840896[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
