It is not enough for the Super Bowl
pregame show to begin with the singing
of the Black National Anthem ("Lift
Every Heart and Sing") as performed
by Grammy Award-winning artist Andra
Day, and the other National Anthem
("Oh Say Can You See") as performed
by Reba McIntire.
Leave it to Reba to normalize segregation and division.
It would greatly on where Reba leans and in which direction.

Why is there such a thing as the Black National Anthem?
Again reaching out to GPT4...
"The song "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is often referred to as the Black national anthem. It was written in 1899 by James Weldon Johnson and John Rosamond Johnson, two brothers from Jacksonville, Florida. The song was initially written as a poem commemorating the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, but it became a rallying cry for the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s 123. The song has long been a pillar of Black culture and life, sung at church ceremonies, political protests, school graduations, and family gatherings 1. The song is often performed at events that celebrate Black history and culture, such as Black History Month and Juneteenth 4. Recently, the song has gained renewed attention and popularity, with many people calling for it to be recognized as the official national anthem of the United States"
Interesting.. and typical, that the song became something different then intended.
Why the need to be separate still.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 88 352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) is a landmark civil rights and labor law in the United States that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex,[a] and national origin.[4] It prohibits unequal application of voter registration requirements, racial segregation in schools and public accommodations, and employment discrimination. The act "remains one of the most significant legislative achievements in American history".
Still this was not enough? and this song has become and for a few years now the Black National Anthem. Ridiculous.
