Thursday's Thoughts: There Is Only One National Anthem

 


"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
-Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.






Just in time for the biggest and most watched sporting event of the year, the National
  Football League has acquiesced to the demands of the political Far left and agreed to allow 
 what has come to be known as the "Black National Anthem" to be sung again at this
year's Super Bowl game. It was first sung before the Super Bowl game in 2023.

The "Black National Anthem" also known as "Lift Every Voice And Sing" was 
written originally as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900. 

According to a recent article by columnist and radio talk show host Dennis Prager, the "Black National Anthem" will be sung directly after the performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" America's National Anthem, with the hope that the spectators who will rise during the first performance will remain standing for the second in order to show their support for Black Lives Matter and other activist groups,  to combat what the NFL calls "systemic racism" and the "ongoing and historical injustice" against black Americans.  

"The Left, led by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, the media, the schools and the universities have done their damage," says Dennis Prager. There is a black America and the rest of America. So, now we play two national anthems." 

Score a touchdown for the ongoing advancement of Communism in America.

'E Pluribus Unum' ("Out of many, One")  Are we no more?

  The inclusion of a "Black National Anthem" is a cruel slap in the face to the memory of the three black American soldiers who recently lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Jordan.  To the memory of  black American soldiers who, along with their fellow Americans, stormed the beaches and scaled the cliffs along the coast of France on June 6, 1944 in order to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany.  To black American men who honorably served this nation in Korea, in Vietnam, in the wars in  Iraq and Afghanistan.   The courage and sacrifice of these black Americans, many who fought and died on foreign battlefields so that Americans today can attend Super Bowls, and all Americans service men and women, past and present, regardless of race or skin color, should never be forgotten, nor besmirched through the politics of divisiveness and hate.  All lives matter in America.
