Woke Super Bowl once again insisted on performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the Negro National Anthem despite receiving criticism that the song only cause more division among Americans.
On Sunday, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tennessee) blasted the Super Bowl LVIII audience for not acknowledging the Black national anthem.
“Very very few stood at Super Bowl for ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’. The Negro National Anthem. Not a pretty picture of Super Bowl crowd.” Cohen groused on X.
Andra Day sang The Black National Anthem during the pre-game festivities for Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, where she received cheers at the Allegiant Stadium.
Cohen received backlash for his tweet.
One X user, Ash Haul said, “The AMERICAN national anthem doesn’t see color. Dems have been the front line in dividing this country with race wars.”
Cohen snapped, “Well, I honor our national anthem and respect it as representing our country and in our pride in it. However, if you look at the history and some of the verbiage, it does relate to slavery and not in a questioning manner.”
The bickering doesn’t end there.
Haul clapped back, “Y’all have to got to stop race wars.”
The Tennessee lawmaker represents the 9th Congressional District, which has one of the largest black populations in the state.
Another X user, Tommy Vext tweeted, “Notice how the divisive rhetoric always generates from non-black non-white agitators who reap the financial benefits of our disharmony.”
“If we gonna have Negro National Anthem played before games, then, play the Latino National Anthem, Asian National Anthem and yes shall I SAY IT THE White National Anthem should played as well. Ohh my diversity is a b**** or how about stop this crap! Only one 🇺🇸 #NationalAnthem,” blasted another X user.
Rogan O’Handley echoed Kari Lake’s sentiment, “We have one national anthem and it is for everyone. Enough with the racial divisiveness!”
End Wokeness said, “if you have a problem with the American ntional anthem, feel free to leave.”
CJ Pearson, who is running as Georgia’s representative in the Congress said, “There is only ONE national anthem.
“As there is only ONE United States of America.”
Pearson added, “The Left’s agenda of division isn’t just needless; it’s exhausting.”
In 2023, the anthem was also performed, which received different feedback.
Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert said, “Do football, not wokeness.”
She further said, “America only has one national anthem.”
Jack Posobiec confronted the situation humorously and said, “The only thing that can unite America forever is creating separate national anthems for each different ethnic group. I demand each one be played before every game. Especially the Superbowl.”
“They’re desecrating America’s National Anthem by playing something called the ‘Black National Anthem,’” blasted Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida).
Super Bowl gathered 123.4 million viewers this year, surpassing the views received when Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969.
They are simply Anthems, whereas the National Anthem was selected specifically by Americans. We have but one nation!
I as an American with other background; support everything that’s been said; with all individuals who commented regarding a negro national anthem, versus the American national anthem of the United States of America!
As many responders said, this is the United States of America! And NO OTHER country within it! We may be diverse, But This Is The United States of America!
Why do you think immigrants have to become citizens of the United States of America!?
Get a grip get a life!
If you don’t like it here in the United States of America!, then go back home where your ancestors came from!
That is not being racist that is being Pro-American!!!
