Dean. Yes there is a black national anthem. It’s called “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Been that way since the early 1900’s. And while we have had a black national anthem black people have been loyal to America, fighting in her wars, working in her factories, loving her promise, and contributing to her global dominance. Black people have loved a country that has not always loved them back. Two things can be true. Lift Every Voice encourages a people to faithfully rely on God for provision and a future while still growing and flourishing where they are planted. And yes, the Star Spangled Banner is the official National Anthem (1931). For the innocently uneducated it may seem that the two songs are at odds. They can be taught and will embrace a broadened understanding. However, the intentionally ignorant, who desire to sow discord and controversy, are the true impediment to the unity they espouse. Which one are you?

@BenjaminSWatson A National Anthem is for a nation, not a skin color or race! Imagine if a White National Anthem existed. That would be called White supremacist!
@TheTrumpParty @BenjaminSWatson The white national anthem is literally the national anthem. Which is why when ppl protest it, it's always yall that are turning red from your back at the audacity.
@AryAry1998 @BenjaminSWatson It's "y'all" that continually attack a country that you choose to live in! We are not changing the name of America to Black America just to make y'all happy!
@AryAry1998 @TheTrumpParty @BenjaminSWatson Uh it's okay that you're mistaken Ary. Americans of all color, creed, race, and religious affiliation, cringe when entitled hacks knell for our national anthem. I bet you're pretty content with all this nation has provided you with. But continue your pouting. Trump hugs coming.
@AryAry1998 @TheTrumpParty @BenjaminSWatson You can always leave the country.
@AryAry1998 @TheTrumpParty @BenjaminSWatson I was always told they weren't actually protesting the national anthem. It was police brutality or another cause. Not the anthem itself. Are we now saying it was indeed about the anthem?
@AryAry1998 @TheTrumpParty @BenjaminSWatson Where is your national territory located?
@AryAry1998 @TheTrumpParty @BenjaminSWatson Bingo!!! Reminds me of the time a guy I went to school with went on a rant about how racist BET was until I had a conversation with him. White Americans rarely consider what it means to be white. They don’t have to consider what It’s like to be black, we have to consider both!
