[MaybeACoordinator 8349]

"I Believe I Can Fly" is the Black "God Bless the USA (Proud to be an American)"

This.  My cousins husband who is an actual black guy says he doesn’t care it a black face episode from 30 years ago was removed just don’t shoot him.  I wonder if the black community is getting receipts for their government issued white liberal to speak on their behalf

LOLz.  So yeah, you think they're wrong to kneel.

 

and the 2nd anthem has shit to do with unifying anyone.  Stop there.  Separate but equal is such a noble concept.

nothing says progress like segregation /s

The song didn’t replace The Star Spangled Banner. It was in fact written before that song became the official National anthem. It wasn’t written with the plan to make it an alternative anthem. The lyrics are not separatist. It was written as a poem, made into a hymn, performed by kids learning in segregated schools and adopted into an unofficial anthem. If you were a certain race then perhaps the words of The Star Spangled were enough but if you were Black at the beginning of the 20th century, my guess is that you felt you were working towards the country you wished to see instead of just agreeing in its perfection already.

The first time this song came to my attention back on TOS, it was mentioned that Abraham Lincoln was at least part of the inspiration for the poem. These guys make that same reference @ 2:20:

Should just play some Paul McCartney one week and Michael Jackson the next and call it good.

[ousux 5587]

Excuse me if I'm insensitive or out of touch, but how is it I've never heard of a black national anthem until yesterday? This seems like pandering and a reach to me...and no, havent read any replies in this thread, fuck you all very much.

 

Edit- if someone could point me to the country of "black" on the map I'd appreciate it.

[ousux 5587]

Wait until they play the brown national anthem “la cucaracha”, all hell is going to break loose...

Why would brown people glorify the fightin fat Pattersons in their anthem?

MLB is going to be a mess, at least 4 anthems will have to be played a game.

Multiple anthems, BLM jerseys and all the other trivial feel good events won't be what keeps folks from watching the NFL. If the game is supposed to start at 12, I normally don't start paying attention until 12:10. Just have the TV on in the background. 

What will drive people away is the thought of listening to Joe and Troy tell us their thoughts on BLM and what they have learned. Or trying to power through Erin Andrews hard hitting interview with Drew Brees, where he breaks a record for most apologies by an athlete without committing a crime. You know the talking heads will not be allowed to ignore the 'Summer of Love'

I can't wait to watch every redneck I've ever met cry on Facebook about division and the oppression of white people while simultaneously blaming "snowflakes" for everything.

As if crying about this isn't the defintion of "snowflake".

[Murfdogg21 4412]

Turns out Independence Day is also racist and anything done or created by people before 1865, 1964, or perhaps 2008 should be shamed for it is tainted by racism and the racists.

Why do people believe the backpedal of “kneeling is not meant to be disrespectful”? It seems that he believes that “you” (all white people) enslaved his ancestors. If he didn’t disrespect the flag/veterans, he wouldn’t have got the attention he did. If that was his strategy, it worked just own it and accept that many will be offended. In the thread on The Eyes of Texas, someone said you can’t tell young black men what is or is not racist. Well the majority of NFL fans have stated plainly that they find the kneeling highly offensive. Stop saying that you don’t do it to offend. Your customers and most Americans have said it is offensive. “You’re fat, no offense. You’re stupid, no offense. I’m going to piss on your mother’s grave because according to some random veteran it could be shown as a sign of respect regardless of how you and your grandmother feel about it! PSSSSSSS”

 

[Guest Lobo]

You bring up a valid point.  Where do we draw the line?  To be fair to Colin, it was merely a respectful gesture to draw attention to a topic that almost everyone with a functioning brain can acknowledge is worthy of a national discussion---do this many black people deserve this fatalist fate at the hands of police officers?  But he let it get modified into other issues, and that was neither the intention of he nor Nate.  

But here's where I draw the line, and admittedly this is just my opinion as someone who is bi-racial, from a long line of military veterans, and could give fuck one about ever watching an NFL game (you could have an all-white NFL league or an all-Black league or the current one, it's all a complete waste of time IMO even if they sing the national anthem with everybody standing up between every possession change).  Countries had slaves before the U.S. did, mainly because we weren't nation yet.  Countries had slaves after we abolished it.  Countries had more slaves than we did.  Empires were built and crumbled under slavery trade practices that make ours look tame by comparison.  We are guilty as charged, it's our "original sin" and everybody knows it.  And to this day, other countries engage in far deeper and more violent racism than we do.  But again, we are terribly, terribly guilty.  African slave traders sold them to us, but for some reason---we are the most globally vilified.

Here's why we are different and why some of us are bummed out about where many of you exit the freeway to progress.  This country is only great because it keeps trying.  We started out with baggage, we've always had baggage and fuck-ups, and we still do today.  But the idea was we quickly self-reflect and move on.  We've always been flawed but our greatness is derived from a common set of ideals, that while not always terribly inclusive, constantly reboots and adapts.  

Our problem is we halted that desire.  Many of us decided to simply hit pause, and even rewind.  Not just to see who was kneeling at the game, but with America in general.  

Our nation's entire premise, if you ever bother to read the Federalist Papers, was to try something new.  We stumbled plenty along the way.  but the whole premise was PROGRESS.  To do something different, more representative, more inclusive, and more advanced.  We were the kid in the class who did things different and better.  and that ideology served us very well for 250 years.  But now?  Nope, not cool anymore.  Making the NFL your hill to die on is the most insane fucking thing most of us will ever see.

Sick and tired of this crap. Done with the pandering. Fuck you NFL and stick your racist black national anthem up your ass. The only anthem I will sing is the Star Spangled Banner. What is the appropriate response to this song being sung. Turning your back to the field? I will join in any concerted effort to fight back against the game being hijacked.

Right about now, N.W.A. court is in full effect
Judge Dre presiding
In the case of N.W.A. vs. the Police Department
Prosecuting attorneys are: MC Ren, Ice Cube
And Eazy motherfuckin' E"

"Order, order, order
Ice Cube, take the motherfuckin' stand
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth
And nothin' but the truth so help your black ass?"

"You Goddamn right!"

"Well, won't you tell everybody what the fuck you gotta say?"

Fuck the police comin' straight from the underground
A young nigga got it bad 'cause I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority
Fuck that shit, 'cause I ain't the one
For a punk motherfucker with a badge and a gun
To be beatin' on, and thrown in jail
We can go toe to toe in the middle of a cell
Fuckin' with me 'cause I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin' my car, lookin' for the product
Thinkin' every nigga is sellin' narcotics
You'd rather see, me in the pen
Than me and Lorenzo rollin' in a Benz-o
Beat a police out of shape
And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape
To tape off the scene of the slaughter
Still gettin' swole off bread and water
I don't know if they fags or what
Search a nigga down, and grabbin' his nuts
And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
'Cause they'll slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin' out for the white cop
Ice Cube will swarm
On any motherfucker in a blue uniform
Just 'cause I'm from the CPT
Punk police are afraid of me!
Huh, a young nigga on the warpath
And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin' in L.A.
Yo Dre, I got somethin' to say

Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the Police

"Example of scene one"

"Pull your Goddamn ass over right now"

"Aww shit, now what the fuck you pullin' me over for?"

"'Cause I feel like it!
Just sit your ass on the curb and shut the fuck up"

"Man, fuck this shit"

"Aight, smart ass, I'm takin' your black ass to jail!"

"MC Ren, will you please give your testimony
To the jury about this fucked up incident?"

Fuck the police and Ren said it with authority
Because the niggas on the street is a majority
A gang, is with whoever I'm steppin'
And the motherfuckin' weapon is kept in
A stash box, for the so-called law
Wishin' Ren was a nigga that they never saw
Lights start flashin' behind me
But they're scared of a nigga so they mace me to blind me
But that shit don't work, I just laugh
Because it gives 'em a hint, not to step in my path
For police, I'm sayin, "Fuck you, punk!"
Readin' my rights and shit, it's all junk
Pullin' out a silly club, so you stand
With a fake-ass badge and a gun in your hand
But take off the gun so you can see what's up
And we'll go at it, punk, and I'ma fuck you up!
Make you think I'ma kick your ass
But drop your gat, and Ren's gonna blast
I'm sneaky as fuck when it comes to crime
But I'm a smoke 'em now and not next time
Smoke any motherfucker that sweats me
Or any asshole that threatens me
I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope
Takin' out a cop or two, they can't cope with me
The motherfuckin' villain that's mad
With potential to get bad as fuck
So I'ma turn it around
Put in my clip, yo, and this is the sound
Yeah, somethin' like that
But it all depends on the size of the gat
Takin' out a police would make my day
But a nigga like Ren don't give a fuck to say

Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the Police

"Yeah man, what you need?"

"Police, open now"

"Aww shit"

"We have a warrant for Eazy-E's arrest
Get down and put your hands up where I can see 'em"

"What the fuck did I do, man, what did I do?"

"Just shut the fuck up
And get your motherfuckin' ass on the floor"

"But I didn't do shit"

"Man, just shut the fuck up!"

"Eazy-E, won't you step up to the stand
And tell the jury how you feel about this bullshit?"

I'm tired of the motherfuckin' jackin'
Sweatin' my gang, while I'm chillin' in the shack, and
Shinin' the light in my face, and for what?
Maybe it's because I kick so much butt
I kick ass, or maybe 'cause I blast
On a stupid-assed nigga when I'm playin' with the trigger
Of an Uzi or an AK
'Cause the police always got somethin' stupid to say
They put out my picture with silence
'Cause my identity by itself causes violence
The E with the criminal behavior
Yeah, I'm a gangsta, but still I got flavor
Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?
A sucker in a uniform waitin' to get shot
By me or another nigga
And with a gat it don't matter if he's smaller or bigger
(Size ain't shit, he's from the old school, fool)
And as you all know, E's here to rule
Whenever I'm rollin', keep lookin' in the mirror
And ears on cue, yo, so I can hear a
Dumb motherfucker with a gun
And if I'm rollin' off the 8, he'll be the one
That I take out, and then get away
While I'm drivin' off laughin', this is what I'll say

Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the Police

"The verdict
The jury has found you guilty of being a redneck
White bread, chicken shit motherfucker"

"But wait, that's a lie!
That's a god damn lie!"

"Get him out of here!"

"I want justice!"

"Get him the fuck out my face!"

"I want justice!"

"Out, right now!"

"Fuck you, you black motherfuckers!"

Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the police

And as you all know, E's here to rule
Whenever I'm rollin', keep lookin' in the mirror
And ears on cue, yo, so I can hear a
Dumb motherfucker with a gun
And if I'm rollin' off the 8, he'll be the one
That I take out, and then get away
While I'm drivin' off laughin', this is what I'll say Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the Police "The verdict
The jury has found you guilty of being a redneck
White bread, chicken shit motherfucker" "But wait, that's a lie!
That's a god damn lie!" "Get him out of here!" "I want justice!" "Get him the fuck out my face!" "I want justice!" "Out, right now!" "Fuck you, you black motherfuckers!" Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the police

As a veteran, with this played prior to the National Anthem, do I squat, stand, or kneel? I just want to know so I’m not out of place?

Excuse me if I'm insensitive or out of touch, but how is it I've never heard of a black national anthem until yesterday? This seems like pandering and a reach to me...and no, havent read any replies in this thread, fuck you all very much.

 

Edit- if someone could point me to the country of "black" on the map I'd appreciate it.

That's because that's exactly what it is.  Don't second guess yourself on this one.

Once again,  it's all about compliance.

The first time this song came to my attention back on TOS, it was mentioned that Abraham Lincoln was at least part of the inspiration for the poem. These guys make that same reference @ 2:20:

 

Hadn’t seen those guys in a while. Watched 4 minutes of the video & lost 4 minutes worth of brain cells. Glad to see they haven’t changed.

You must be a racist.

Honestly I could do without the star spangled banner too.  Seems kind of weird that we play that at sporting events other than the olympics anyway.  This is what I said when Kaepernick took the knee the first time and everyone lost their shit in ridiculous polarizing fashion.  Just get rid of the anthem all together and you don't have these problems.  I feel slightly different about the eyes of Texas because it's a school song that makes since to sing at our sporting events but Iv'e also come to the conclusion that if that's what it takes to stop all this nonsense that it's a small price to pay relatively speaking.  I just don't think that will ben the end of it.
