Hodgetwins engage in a heated debate over the "Black National Anthem," a song written over a century ago for free Black Americans, with one host insisting on the title "Negro National Anthem." The argument escalates into personal insults, including claims that only those born in Africa are African Americans and accusations of hypocrisy regarding kneeling versus standing. They critique the Super Bowl performance, compare it to Dolly Parton singing "America the Beautiful," and exchange racial slurs while discussing conservative voting strategies. Ultimately, the chaotic exchange highlights deep fractures in how identity, history, and patriotism are interpreted within the Black community today. [Automatically generated summary]

The Black National Anthem Debate00:05:19
Yeah, got a new show for y'all.
Philadelphia, you suck.
Kansas City, baby Brady.
Took it over.
Light-skinned Brady.
MVP.
Hey, so we're going to talk about...
What the hell are we talking about?
The black national anthem.
Well, spit it out.
You take too long, man.
Is it really the black national?
I thought it's the Negro national anthem.
We don't go by Negroes anymore.
Well, at the time they wrote this song, they were called his Negroes.
So you need to get your facts straight.
It's not the black national anthem.
It's the Negro National Anthem.
No, see, Negro, that's what.
That's what they called us back in the day when he wrote this.
This song's over 100 years old.
All right?
It's the Negro national anthem.
Well, it's more progressive now.
What, black?
It's black.
I prefer Negro.
Personally, I prefer colored.
Yeah, that sounds got a nice ring to it.
Hey, I heard you dating that colored boy down the street.
Sounds so appealing to me.
It's intriguing.
Hey, look at it.
What?
You dating a colored boy?
Man, you're lucky.
He's colored.
Let me ask white people this.
Why would a white person stand for the black national anthem?
Yeah.
I mean, they had their reasons.
I'm sure.
It's probably stupid.
That's like me going to the Sup Bowl.
They sing the black national anthem.
Now we have Dolly Parton singing a white national anthem.
Why would I stand for that?
It's divisive.
Even though she has a nice breast, I'm not standing for that.
She has big old fake lips on her face.
You know those lips are fake too, right?
Hey, man, what you listen to me?
I'm trying to have a conversation with you.
You're just shouting over me.
I say, you remember that movie she was in?
Best Whole House in Texas?
Remember that movie?
That's a long time ago.
It was a damn good movie.
What you saying?
You just shouting a bunch of epithets.
You're being an idiot.
You're being a moron.
Be more conservative.
Use your brain.
I seen like on TikTok and Instagram, all these people say, look, this white person, this conservative, this Republican, wouldn't stand for the black national anthem.
It makes common sense not to stand up.
I mean, it's not even actually a national anthem.
Yeah, you, you, what song is...
Let me say this.
Why do you even call it a black national anthem?
It's not even a national anthem.
Yeah.
The national anthem that the white boy sang.
Chris Stable?
Yeah.
He did a damn good job, by the way.
Right.
Right.
Amazing job.
He's singing.
That's a national anthem.
The lyrics.
It's the national anthem.
Y'all feel singing about what?
Well, let me lay down the facts.
Why this song was written.
It's written over what?
100 years ago?
And it was written for first and second generation free black Americans.
That's what the song was written.
So why is that a national anthem?
I want to hear the damn Japanese American anthem.
Man, come on, man.
Get serious, man.
I'm serious.
You're a creative person.
You crazy.
Japanese, it's not English.
It's Japanese.
Japanese don't sound crazy as hell for that one.
What do you mean I'm crazy for it?
You ain't going to understand it?
Japanese Americans speak English.
But that's not their native language.
Well, black, I never languished.
No, it's not.
Black people.
I'm American.
I was born here.
Well, that's the same thing with Japanese Americans.
No, it ain't.
What do you mean?
We was born here.
Japanese Americans, they wasn't born here.
They migrated here.
In my humble opinion.
What is she talking about?
Well, shut up and pay attention.
My humble opinion.
Let's start this damn video.
We ain't starting shit over.
We ain't starting the damn thing over.
In my humble opinion, the only African Americans in this country is people who was born in Africa and they migrated to the United States.
If you're born here, I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're not an African American.
You're just a plain old stupid American like the rest of us.
Now you understand?
See where I'm coming from?
That's a great point.
Yeah, man.
I see what you're saying.
You know what you mean?
I totally see where you're coming from.
Yeah.
Japanese, they don't speak.
I wish y'all would call me a race for not standing for the white national anthem.
Oh, oh, you know what you're saying?
Well, the main national anthem, that is the white one.
No, it's not.
You're misrepresenting what the national anthem is.
It's for everybody.
You liberals misrepresent everything.
It's the damn strongman, essentially.
That's what you turned everything into a strongman argument.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
I'm kind of fed up with you.
Who?
With you.
The color people?
No, I was going to use the N-word.
I'm getting pissed.
You're getting tired of you.
You stupid.
I got to come with some hatred on this.
You stupid, man.
It's like Current Lake, she didn't stand for the...
Kneeling, Voting, and Freedom00:02:37
Because it's not a national anthem.
I mean, if you can kneel for the national anthem, why can't you sit down for the black national anthem?
I mean, it's freedom of speech, right?
You either believe in freedom or you don't.
That's a good point.
I'm telling you, man.
You is all the time.
I am.
I am.
Damn, brush drop.
That's that mic drop.
Yeah, brush drop.
Yeah, if you can kneel for the national anthem, why the hell I got to stand for a black national anthem?
It goes both ways, right?
Y'all say y'all.
See, the problem with you black people, y'all a bunch of comments.
You're a bunch of dictators.
You're a bunch of hypocrites.
It's freedom of speech.
If I can kneel during the national anthem, you best believe I can sit on my ass during the black national anthem.
But at the end of the day, it's not a national anthem.
Y'all just labeled it that.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not the black national anthem.
That's another misrepresentation.
I guess it's just a song for blacks to make them feel more inclusive because a lot of black people, they don't like the national anthem.
They feel that it's for white people only because they're stupid and ignorant.
They're not stupid.
They've been misled.
No, if you believe that, you ain't got no brain.
No, no, no, no.
Hey, man, we're trying to get some black vote.
Yeah, I want the right kind of black vote.
I don't want a bunch of idiots, you know?
Because as soon as you offend them, all they're going to do is go run for the left again.
As soon as you say something crazy, you know?
As soon as you make a joke and it hurts their feelings, you know what?
I'm not digging the conservative movement.
I'm going back to the Democrats.
Yeah, see, y'all racist.
Y'all don't really like my kind anyway.
Yeah.
Man, great Super Bowl.
It's a great Super Bowl, man.
I mean, don't get me wrong that what's it called?
The Negro National Anthem?
Black National Anthem?
It's a beautiful song.
Yeah.
I'm not faulting the song.
The lyrics are beautiful.
I mean, the cause at the time when they wrote that song, it's a beautiful song, but it's not really the black national anthem.
You shouldn't call this a national anthem.
You should just call it what?
Negro spiritual or something.
It's what it is.
But why are you singing it before the Super Bowl?
Well, it's a song they sang on America of the Beautiful.
