WEBVTT - DONKEY: Black national Anthem Sung At Super Bowl LVIII Criticized

0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>This is a miracle, there is no question, and there

0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>are problems in this country between police and community.

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you are a donkey to the latest on that

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 2>police killing. I'm a black man. Now the new development

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:18.759
<v Speaker 2>in the deathly spawshooting rampase man. Yes, that was a

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 2>really bad day for him and.

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>This is what he did, and so we are in

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a state of emergency. Okay, White supremacist violence, it is

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 1>always has been the number one threat to office side.

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>But I'm also very proud that my wife was a

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:34.520
<v Speaker 2>practice club bitch.

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>All right, Sonny, please tell me why was I your donkey.

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Of the day.

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, Donkey today from Monday, February twelfth goes to Representative

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Matt Gates of Florida. Excuse me, I'm discussing this, so sorry,

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Representative Mike Lloyd Chick, Conservative fun date, C J. Pearson

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and everybody else who had their fruitable looms and a bunch.

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Because the NFL let andre day perform lift every voice

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and commonly, uh, lift every voice from sing commonly known

0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>as the black national anthem.

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Now night, just like at many a sporting event.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>More than one national anthem was saying, okay, they do

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>it all the time, especially in boxing, if there's a

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>fighter from another country, someone.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Will do their national anthem.

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I've seen the Canadian national anthem, the Mexican national anthem,

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.839
<v Speaker 1>saying it happens all the time, and in a sport

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>that has a very high percentage of black players, performing

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the black national anthem makes sense to me. And Andrea

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Day performed it last night. Can we hear a little

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 1>bit of the black national anthem?

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Please come through Andrea.

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>With okay now.

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Representative Matt Gaetstan on X they're desecrating America's national anthem

0:01:58.360 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>by playing something called.

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 2>The black national anthem.

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Mike Leoudschig said, there's no such thing as a black

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>national anthem. We are all Americans united by our great

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and beautiful Star Spangled banner.

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>The Super Bowl is supposed to bring us together.

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Into disgrace that the NFL decided to push the politics

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of racial division again.

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>CJ.

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Pearson wrote on X before Tonight's Super Bowl, as a

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.679
<v Speaker 1>young black and proud American, let me make myself clear.

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>There is only one national anthem.

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>There is only one United States of America, and it's

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>for everyone.

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>White, black, yellow, and even maroon.

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>He said, The less Agenda of division isn't just needless,

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>it's exhausting. Listen, man, have any of y'all ever stopped

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to think there would be no division if y'all didn't

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>cause it, If they would simply acknowledge the Black National

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Anthem for what it is, Okay, there wouldn't be an issue.

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>And what it is is a promise of the freedom, liberty,

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and justice America promised all people under the constitution.

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:48.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>It was written at a crucial time in American history,

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>all right, when Jim Crow was replacing slavery and African

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Americans was searching for an identity of their own. Author

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and activist James Weldon Johnson wrote the words as a poem,

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>which his brother John Rosamond Johnson then set the music.

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>So if you believe in the freedom of all Americans,

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>if you believe in equality for all Americans, if you

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>truly do believe in liberty.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 2>And justice for all, to lift every voice.

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>And sing wouldn't bother you, not even a little bit?

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 1>It was first performed in Jacksonville, FLOYDA, to celebrate President

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Abraham Lincoln, you know him, right. He

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>issued the Emancipation proclamation that freed the slaves. The song

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>was written as a hopeful appeal for the liberty of

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>black Americans.

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>It was the promise of freedom.

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>If you don't like the song, then you simply don't

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.519
<v Speaker 1>like seeing black people free.

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>How don't expect Mac Gates and Mike Lloyd Chick to notice.

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 2>But TJ. Pison, you're a black person.

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>You have to know this, Okay, lift every voice and

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>sing is so American and it's not something you should

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>look at as anti American if you do, indeed believe

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>that they should be freedom, liberty, and justice for all people.

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>If you believe that, then you should look at this

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>song the same way you look at the National anthem

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and the Star Spangled banner. Not to mention, Reeba McIntire

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>sang the national anthem, and.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Post Malone did American beautiful.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>So all aspects of America were represented last night. So

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how come when people from other countries

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>come here and participate in sporting events and their national

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>anthem is saying it don't bother nobody. But anytime black

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>people give some acknowledgement as proud citizens of this country,

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a problem. Imagine Matt Jates, Imagine Mike Lloyd Chick,

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Imagine Sheese Pearson.

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:17.719
<v Speaker 2>Imagine y'all simply.

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Said, it's great to see the Black National Anthem acknowledge

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>that the Super Bowl. Think about how that acknowledgement would

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 1>bring people together. You know, we live in a world

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>full of sheep and folks just be sitting around waiting

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 1>to know how to feel about things. They literally go

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>on social media and wait to know how to feel

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>about certain things and events. If you all that simply said,

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 1>good for the NFL to acknowledging our Black Americans with

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the Black National Anthem, that would collectively bring people together.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>But like most things black in this country, you simply

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 1>tried to write it out of history and tell people

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>that it doesn't really exist. You all could have created

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>energy and rhetoric that caused unity, but instead you decided

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>to cause division. Please give Matt Gates, Mike Lloyd Chick,

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and c J. Pearson the biggest ee hull.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's just as exhausting as y'all think

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the less agenda of.

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 2>The vision is in my opinion. All right, well, thank
