I've shared common knowledge readily available to anyone that bothers to seek it out. 

Twitter is abuzz today with African Americans questioning the term "black national anthem." It's a nickname and not official in any way.  How is telling you that speaking for anyone?


What is negative is the implication that it is a separate "anthem" because people assume it is of some similar or rivaling import to the national anthem. It's a divisive implication. 

If the NFL puts out a memorandum that we must stand and remove our hats for Lift Every Voice and Sing then let me know. So far they haven't even confirmed the song will be performed.

Of course we're behind internet anonymity here, but I've always thought you were a white dude based on your postings. That of course leads to a pretty funny interpretation of your continual "whitesplaining" to all of us things like how "Lift Every Voice And Sing", dubbed the "Negro National Anthem" by the NAACP over 100 years ago, isn't the black national anthem since, you know, white people shouldn't be microaggressing against black culture that way. And if my perception of you is incorrect be assured there is no malicious intent, just kinds funny.

Unfortunately, the regular denizens of this little corner of internet hell require lots of explaining at times. 

Judge me however you like. My conscience is clear. 

I saw an intention to mislead and stoke division and I attempted to point it out.  That's all.
