Anyone know the words to it?
I had to "google" it ....... I guess we learn something new every day ..... Lift Every Voice and Sing – often called “The Black National Anthem” – was written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) and then set to music by his brother John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954) in 1899. Lift ev'ry voice and sing 'Til earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of Liberty Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies Let it resound loud as the rolling sea Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us Facing the rising sun of our new day begun Let us march on 'til victory is won Stony the road we trod Bitter the chastening rod Felt in the days when hope unborn had died Yet with a steady beat Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered Out from the gloomy past 'Til now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast God of our weary years God of our silent tears Thou who has brought us thus far on the way Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light Keep us forever in the path, we pray Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee Shadowed beneath Thy hand May we forever stand True to our God True to our native land |

I don't have an opinion ...... and before today, I never even knew that there was a song attributed as a black anthem! |

Of course it is. That's how I see it. What's next? Hispanic National Anthem? Asian National Anthem? Native American National Anthem? Jewish National Anthem? Polish National Anthem? Hindu National Anthem? Muslim/Arab National Anthem? Atheist National Anthem? LGBTQ National Anthem? NAMBLA National Anthem? Buddhist National Anthem? |

That's what is wanted--some blacks have even said they want segregated hospitals with ONLY black doctors and nurses to treat them. |

| I'm just wondering how long it takes the left to realize this anthem has the word "God" in it and starts throwing a fit. |

| The last line..."Be true to our native land". So isn't that essentially saying they should be true to Africa? Because America isn't anyone's true native land, except for indigenous people. |

Isn't it crazy, there's a black awareness month, black tv channel, black tv shows, black anything basically...... and that's all good.....?? Well, in my book it's as racist as all get out! All they do is fuel the fire! I am no racist, but getting so darn tired of this whole bs going on... common sense went out the door with this entitlement generation.... let's give them another participation trophy....    |

        Location: Kansas | Anyone noticing the change in commercials. For months now they've shown mixed race couples which seems weird because that's largely out of the ordinary. I was watching a St. Jude commercial last night where the white children and mothers have mostly been replaced with black children and mothers. It's looking like the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians may have to change their names to appease our Native American population who mostly say right out they could care less. Black Lives Matter need to change their name to Bullies Lives Matter because that's a fact. |

Aren't these labels and segregation putting us in the situation we got out of? Where blacks and whites were separated? I can't imagine doing things differently for either. We are supposed to be THE SAME. And equal. I don't understand how doing something like this moves us in that direction. I feel like it's a step backwards. |

| Many high schools stopped teaching history. It really shows. I feel like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Martin Lutger King Jr and many others are rolling in their graves over how many people of color are now calling for segregation and their own anthem. Many of us need to watch the historic I Have A Dream speech. |
