Watch: The ‘Black National Anthem’ Gets Almost Non-Existent Applause from Super Bowl Audience

February 11, 2024 Mark Wolf US 0

The “Black National Anthem” — “Lift Every Voice and Sing” — was played yet again during Super Bowl LVIII, as it has been before during the last few Super Bowls.

One big difference between this year’s edition and years past, however?

This year, the “Black National Anthem” didn’t get much applause.

In fact, the massive crowd in attendance at the biggest football game of the year didn’t react much at all.

After the singer, Andra Day, finished singing, the above clip panned to a shot of fans in the stands.

Some are applauding for sure. But they aren’t very loud.

Many others aren’t applauding at all.

Are you watching the Super Bowl?

Some are looking at their phones while others are looking on awkwardly in silence.

It certainly wasn’t given the same applause as Reba McEntire’s rendition of the real national anthem. That’s for sure.

When is the NFL going to get wise? There is only one national anthem.

As imperfect as our nation’s history may be, the same can be said of any nation.

The U.S. has provided more people with more freedoms than any nation before it, ever.

By celebrating one national anthem, we acknowledge that we all are still one people who continue to strive to bring the American dream to each and every individual.

By creating a bunch of additional anthems for each one of our races (why not have an Asian or Hispanic anthem next?), we are only causing more division.

Now, believe it or not, the actual song “Lift Every Voice and Sing” actually has some incredibly good, Christian-conservative values within it (read all about that here).

But that’s beside the point.

We all know why this song is being played before football games — because politically-minded hacks and activists think the original national anthem represents racism.

That’s just plain wrong.

It’s time for us to get back to having only one national anthem.

An Important Message from Our Staff:

 

In just a few months, the world is going to change forever. The 2024 election is the single most important election of our lifetime. 

 

We here at The Western Journal are committed to covering it in a way the establishment media simply will not: We will tell the truth, and they will lie.

 

But Big Tech and the elites don’t want the truth out. That’s why they have cut us off from 90% of advertisers. Imagine if someone cut your monthly income by 90%. That’s what they’ve done to people like us. 

 

As a staff, we are asking you to join us to fight this once-in-a-lifetime fight. Without you not only will The Western Journal fail, but America will fail also. As Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

Thank you for your support!
