That's what I thought.  Why are blacks getting a special one?  What happens when someone asks for a "white" national anthem?  How about Native Americans, shouldn't they get their own also (or do they have to go to a FSU game)?

We already have one of those. When Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics to our national anthem, can you make a believable case that he had all Americans in mind? Was the United States really the "land of the free"?
