"It's not a big deal"
"it's only a big deal if you make it one"
"African-Americans aren't getting some "special anthem."
If Native Americans made up 68% of the NFL, they'd probably get a tribute as well when the evening news is constantly plastered w/ bodycam videos of them being needlessly killed or brutalized. "

First of all it is a big deal. This is America and there is one national anthem it's for everyone. When the NFL says the black national anthem its implying the star spangled banner isnt for blacks. Plenty of blacks are ticked off at this. That's why the NFL is only doing it for one week because they know what's going to happen.

Second. So when white people make up the majority of a field they are racists for keeping the colored folks down...but when blacks are the majority...well give them tribute. It's already been proven and shown by anyone with even a remote desire to actually learn the truth that blacks are NOT being needlessly killed or brutalized. In fact if you even listen to black leaders talk about it they lump the statistics together with Hispanics. They say "blacks and Hispanics are brutalized by the police at a higher rate than whites"...really? Why have we not seen Hispanics being brutalized? What happened to George Floyd was wrong in my opinion...but how's that any different than what happened to Tony Timpa? Where was the national outrage over that? Remember the whole Michael Brown hands up crap? Where was the outrage over Dillon Taylor who did in fact have his hands up and guess what he didn't assault the officer.

Kinda interesting that a poem was turned into a song and played for the man that BLM has tried to tear down statues of. This is a joke and I don't care if it's a good song...it divides this country many blacks are even coming out saying that same thing. The NFL will end up regretting this.
