The person you were responding to is correct.
Plus, the original plan was to play this so-called black national anthem right after our ONE AND ONLY national anthem so that people would already be standing. They were afraid no one would get up and stand for it if played alone, and of course, they would be right. I don't see how that original plan could be viewed as anything other than an attempt to give it equal status. I think they were wise to alter that plan, it might have gotten ugly.
