This year’s Super Bowl will feature the singing of Lift Every Voice and Sing, otherwise known as the black national anthem, before the start of this year’s game.
The song will be sung before the U.S. national anthem.
According to Mashable, “If the Super Bowl is your introduction to national treasure Sheryl Lee Ralph, welcome. The veteran singer-actress is set to take the Super Bowl stage Sunday to perform what is known as the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” She’s joined by country singer Chris Stapleton singing the national anthem and R&B star Babyface performing “America the Beautiful.'”

One country, one National Anthem , The Star Spangled Banner. If you feel you need your own anthem , you're in the wrong country.

Celebrating 'blackness; is how The Left ensures that racial division will endure. The Left insists that race is irrelevant-so why is it they push racial quotas in everything? We know why-the just want to keep spreading cognitive differences so we can't tell what's right or wrong anymore.

If I hadn't read it here I would never have known. I'll be doing more important things, like getting the mower ready for summer and reading Lucianne. And maybe cleaning the basement. Ok, maybe not that.

I'm Black, and I like what the "Black Anthem" says. Having said that, however, this is NOT representative of ALL us us in the U.S. The ONLY anthem which needs to be played at such a massive and diverse gathering is the Star Spangled Banner, period. That particular song represents ALL of us (as it should), not just those of us with pigmentation. This is just another way to divide us. NOT COOL.

And please note, the black national anthem is being sung first. So this means we’re officially a divided nation, I guess.

Why? Exacerbating long declared illegal racial tensions? Is that the object? I'm white, and objected to a black friend's (Butch) being subjected to racist bantering during the Nashville Metropolitan Open fifty years ago when he was over a winning putt from four feet. He made the putt. Aha ha ha. My friend won the tournament!
The fellows, probably KKK, who objected to his winning putt, were worth fighting. The crowd separated us. I would have fought them to the death. Butch was worth that then, and much more. Friends are friends.

Over under, in millions, of the number of people taking their first leak during the game during this?

Preceded by the President's interview on Fox Soul (which I'd never heard of until two days ago). Note, too, that "America the Beautiful" will also be sung - the song that many want to take the place of the current National Anthem (which is just too darned hard to sing, ya know). Thanks for posting - I was considering watching. Not any more.

Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes. Its so obvious the nation wants to get rid of all the white people.
Now, what do back men want? A white woman, resulting in biracial children. Eventually all of those relationships will backfire & the children will be white. I know mixed race marriages whose grandchildren are as white as I am. Everyone should be proud of their heritage & just quit breeding it out of existence.

Makes me long for the old days...when you got up off the couch, walked to the tv, mashed a button and heard a satisfying click when it shut off or a channel changed. Super Bowl sponsors, listen to this : CLICK

Whose idea is this? Roger Goodell’s? I think 95% of the NFL can’t stand him and his woke ideas. He was introduced at their awards show the other night and I didn’t hear any applause for the idiot.

Well, I guess they have finally "Arrived". They have been clawing their way into everyone's life for years and years. When they finally were able to make folks believe BLM was Legit, they exploded in Shirts, Hoodies and Banners everywhere (Nobody talks about the FOUNDERS buying Multi-Million Mansions with the Money they collected from Woke Businesses). NOW we find they have their Own National Anthem. I was brought up to believe ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, means something. Apparently I'm too old to understand when that no longer meant regardless of Race or Creed! I guess I should have seen this coming when Teachers demanded no American Flags in their Class rooms and no more reciting the Pledge at the beginning of the Day! That was a Clue! Sad to think Our Grandchildren and Great-Grands will probably grow up not respecting Our Flag, and what it stands for, at all!! I will apply the Mute Button at the appropriate time before the Super Bowl! Shame on the NFL for allowing such a thing to happen in Our Country, but what can we expect from Those who chose to take a Knee with the Black Athletes!

I haven't watched a Super Bowl, or any NFL games for that matter, since this whole kneeling insanity started, and the NFL showed how "woke" and evil they could become in kowtowing to the racist thugs in the BLM movement!!!
Don't have any plans to break that streak today. It was nice to hear that both QB's are proud Christians, though their names don't mean anything to me.

Just one of the reasons I will not be watching. We have ONE national Anthem. Just one. ForALL Americans! If blacks have to have a different anthem, they should take that anthem with them and start their own country. We are allAmericans. One Nation Under God with Liberty and Justice foe all.
Don’t like it. Move.

Will a white person sing the black national anthem?
Black people do not put their hands on their hearts, or stop doing what they're doing when the National Anthem is played. Very rarely, one may do it. It's usually a cop or a vet. Very sad. I see it time and time again.

At one point in my life I used to really feel it when they played the national anthem. Ever since they stole the 2020 and 2022 elections I've been missing that feeling. Maybe if the people who stole them face justice, I'll get that feeling back.

They also did a great Johnny Cash “Ragged Old Flag.” On balance, pre-game was way over on the pro-America side, like the old days.
Just saying.

A question: do Black Muslims (or Jews, Hindus etc) sing the "Black National Anthem"? It is actually a Christian hymn and in many hymnals.

Oh and NFL, me and mine are leaving Nashville Davidson County TN after 22 years and moving back to the country so we don't have to pay for yet another sorry NFL stadium our political overlords have decided to gift to the NFL billionaires. Others can suffer crime, bad schools, bad roads, and over taxation in our place. This GOLDEN GOOSE is on her last leg!!

What Miss Ralph sang was a divisive and in your face political statement and it was meant to be so. It is a shame this is the third year in a row this was done and yet the stands are filled. Then Sistah Rihanna, I see from media, goes out there and embarrassed herself with that vulgarity. El Rushbo told us what the left was going to do to the NFL.
