What I don't understand #1:
Black National Anthem at the Superbowl. I don't get it: did the Tuskegee Airmen who flew escort duty against Hitler's Super Race not have a national anthem?
What I don't understand #2:
Who took a knee for the Black National Anthem at the Superbowl? It doesn't look like anyone kneeled down. It's like those Tuskegee Airmen who flew escort duty against Hitler's Super Race did not have a national anthem.
Gosh, it's almost like someone wants to divide America or something.
UPDATE 7 February 2021 20:38: What I don't understand #3:
So when the Black National Anthem gets played, do we need to stand up, take our hats off, and put our hand over our hearts? What about the Native American National Anthem? Asking for a friend.
Black Privilege and White Genocide. They're just getting less discreet about wanting both.
ReplyDeleteShut up, they explained.
ReplyDeleteYou're supposed to turn it off.
ReplyDeleteGlen, I just want to see if Brady gets his 7th ring after the Patriots gave him the double middle finger. Looks like he will.
ReplyDeleteBread and circuses my friend.
ReplyDeleteErrrrrr... without the bread, though... but I am not judging. A lot of people are emotionally invested in sportzball. I am fortunate enough not to be one of them.
O snap! Did I miss the stupidboll again!?
ReplyDeleteFoshizzle, don't I feel liek a milkweid. What a tarn shameful thing it must have been without me out there blessing everyone and hogging to myself all the white surpremacie.
Maybe next year zuzu kittens.
Um, I forgot to check the robot box. Am I now supposed to mansplain or just spread 'em?
ReplyDeleteI thought a national anthem stands for a nation not a race, wtf is this crap? And of course nobody took a knee. That doesn't surprise me at all.
ReplyDeleteThey'll announce the winner tomorrow if you have to know. I gave up on pro sports when they started preaching to me.
ReplyDeleteI have three tv sets, two gig screens, and haven't turned one on in four years.
ReplyDeleteRe: #3: When they play the "black national anthem", from what I’ve seen of inter-city youth, the thing to do is grab your crotch and call women perjorative names. (Just a guess.)
ReplyDelete@Hedge, "Nation" per the OED:
ReplyDeleteI. A people or group of peoples; a political state.
1. a. A large aggregate of communities and individuals united by factors such as common descent, language, culture, history, or occupation of the same territory, so as to form a distinct people. Now also: such a people forming a political state; a political state. (In early use also in plural: a country.)
In early examples notions of race and common descent predominate. In later use notions of territory, political unity, and independence are more prominent, although some writers still make a pointed distinction between nation and state. Cf. nation-state n.
The term is rarely used to refer to a state in its physical or geographical aspect;
The precedent is established: when another race's anthem starts, you take a knee.
ReplyDeleteNation is race is nation is race...
