It is a beautiful song with wonderful lyrics by James Weldon Johnson, plus it is easy for everyone to sing. I will happily sing this great song and then join in "The Star Spangled Banner". Please get over your pettiness and think in broader terms.

I agree it truly is a beautiful song. However, if the NFL does this it will probably only add to the division.
That being said, if no one had labeled this a Black National Anthem and the current resident of the Oval Office had suggested (as his idea) that this should be our new anthem, my guess is these people posting their negative responses would be running out to learn the words.
