“There shouldn't be a Black national anthem because America is a country that is founded upon all of us being created equal, regardless of the melanin amount in your skin or where your ancestors were raised.” “Nobody should stand for the Black national-,” Johnson added before catching himself. She refused to stand for the Black national anthem good for her,” he proclaimed about the election-denying provocateur. “Kari Lake was in the event last night in the stadium. The right-wing culture warrior, meanwhile, brought up Lake performatively sitting down at State Farm Stadium while Ralph sang. Is there a white national anthem? I'm not sure anyone would be very happy with that being sung.” That is antithetical, of course, to America. He continued: “What a repugnant, degenerate thing to do, to split up a national anthem by race. “That being said, I do watch the Super Bowl for cultural moments like the Black national anthem being sung. “Sports is woke culture, and it's really repugnant to me, and so I don't follow sports super closely,” Johnson exclaimed on The Benny Show, as first flagged by liberal media monitoring group Media Matters. (Her performance preceded both “America the Beautiful” and “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which was sung by country star Chris Stapleton.) Johnson, who also serves as chief creative officer for MAGA student group Turning Point USA, devoted a good portion of his Monday podcast to railing against the NFL’s decision to play the song, which was performed by actress Sheryl Lee Ralph. The right-wing edgelord was grateful, however, that other conservatives were just as upset as he was about the “woke culture” on display at the big game, specifically praising GOP gubernatorial loser Kari Lake for refusing to stand when the song was played. Per the NAACP, the song became a “rallying cry” for Black Americans during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s.Newsmax host and serial plagiarist Benny Johnson was so mad that “Lift Every Voice and Sing” was performed at this year’s Super Bowl that he demanded the hymn-often referred to as the Black national anthem-be made “illegal.” “Lift Every Voice and Sing” was written by civil rights activist James Weldon Johnson and composed by his brother, John Rosamond Johnson in 1900. And not to shove politics or divisive cultural issues down the throats of the viewers who are looking for a getaway.” “Celebrate America… and then play a sports game. “It’s a chance to come together,” she added. “I don’t think that the average American – Black or white – wants to hear the Black national anthem before they hear the national anthem…and it’s no offense against people of color, we’re one country,” Kelly said. Over the summer, the NFL announced it will play the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” before each game in the 2021-22 season as part of a $250M investment towards social justice, theGrio reported. “All of these for the most part are race based,” Kelly noted of the six messages.
