=== The Black National Anthem Debate (05:19) ===

[00:00:00]  Yeah, got a new show for y'all.
[00:00:02]  Philadelphia, you suck.
[00:00:05]  Kansas City, baby Brady.
[00:00:07]  Took it over.
[00:00:08]  Light-skinned Brady.
[00:00:10]  MVP.
[00:00:12]  Hey, so we're going to talk about...
[00:00:17]  What the hell are we talking about?
[00:00:18]  The black national anthem.
[00:00:21]  Well, spit it out.
[00:00:22]  You take too long, man.
[00:00:23]  Is it really the black national?
[00:00:24]  I thought it's the Negro national anthem.
[00:00:28]  We don't go by Negroes anymore.
[00:00:30]  Well, at the time they wrote this song, they were called his Negroes.
[00:00:33]  So you need to get your facts straight.
[00:00:34]  It's not the black national anthem.
[00:00:36]  It's the Negro National Anthem.
[00:00:37]  No, see, Negro, that's what.
[00:00:39]  That's what they called us back in the day when he wrote this.
[00:00:41]  This song's over 100 years old.
[00:00:42]  All right?
[00:00:43]  It's the Negro national anthem.
[00:00:44]  Well, it's more progressive now.
[00:00:46]  What, black?
[00:00:47]  It's black.
[00:00:48]  I prefer Negro.
[00:00:50]  Personally, I prefer colored.
[00:00:52]  Yeah, that sounds got a nice ring to it.
[00:00:54]  Hey, I heard you dating that colored boy down the street.
[00:00:59]  Sounds so appealing to me.
[00:01:01]  It's intriguing.
[00:01:03]  Hey, look at it.
[00:01:04]  What?
[00:01:04]  You dating a colored boy?
[00:01:06]  Man, you're lucky.
[00:01:07]  He's colored.
[00:01:09]  Let me ask white people this.
[00:01:11]  Why would a white person stand for the black national anthem?
[00:01:14]  Yeah.
[00:01:15]  I mean, they had their reasons.
[00:01:17]  I'm sure.
[00:01:18]  It's probably stupid.
[00:01:20]  That's like me going to the Sup Bowl.
[00:01:22]  They sing the black national anthem.
[00:01:24]  Now we have Dolly Parton singing a white national anthem.
[00:01:28]  Why would I stand for that?
[00:01:29]  It's divisive.
[00:01:31]  Even though she has a nice breast, I'm not standing for that.
[00:01:38]  She has big old fake lips on her face.
[00:01:42]  You know those lips are fake too, right?
[00:01:44]  Hey, man, what you listen to me?
[00:01:44]  I'm trying to have a conversation with you.
[00:01:46]  You're just shouting over me.
[00:01:47]  I say, you remember that movie she was in?
[00:01:50]  Best Whole House in Texas?
[00:01:53]  Remember that movie?
[00:01:54]  That's a long time ago.
[00:01:55]  It was a damn good movie.
[00:01:59]  What you saying?
[00:02:00]  You just shouting a bunch of epithets.
[00:02:01]  You're being an idiot.
[00:02:02]  You're being a moron.
[00:02:04]  Be more conservative.
[00:02:07]  Use your brain.
[00:02:13]  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.
[00:02:20]  It makes common sense not to stand up.
[00:02:23]  I mean, it's not even actually a national anthem.
[00:02:26]  Yeah, you, you, what song is...
[00:02:28]  Let me say this.
[00:02:28]  Why do you even call it a black national anthem?
[00:02:31]  It's not even a national anthem.
[00:02:33]  Yeah.
[00:02:33]  The national anthem that the white boy sang.
[00:02:37]  Chris Stable?
[00:02:37]  Yeah.
[00:02:38]  He did a damn good job, by the way.
[00:02:39]  Right.
[00:02:40]  Right.
[00:02:41]  Amazing job.
[00:02:43]  He's singing.
[00:02:44]  That's a national anthem.
[00:02:46]  The lyrics.
[00:02:47]  It's the national anthem.
[00:02:49]  Y'all feel singing about what?
[00:02:51]  Well, let me lay down the facts.
[00:02:55]  Why this song was written.
[00:02:56]  It's written over what?
[00:02:57]  100 years ago?
[00:02:58]  And it was written for first and second generation free black Americans.
[00:03:03]  That's what the song was written.
[00:03:05]  So why is that a national anthem?
[00:03:09]  I want to hear the damn Japanese American anthem.
[00:03:12]  Man, come on, man.
[00:03:13]  Get serious, man.
[00:03:14]  I'm serious.
[00:03:15]  You're a creative person.
[00:03:18]  You crazy.
[00:03:18]  Japanese, it's not English.
[00:03:21]  It's Japanese.
[00:03:22]  Japanese don't sound crazy as hell for that one.
[00:03:24]  What do you mean I'm crazy for it?
[00:03:25]  You ain't going to understand it?
[00:03:29]  Japanese Americans speak English.
[00:03:35]  But that's not their native language.
[00:03:38]  Well, black, I never languished.
[00:03:41]  No, it's not.
[00:03:42]  Black people.
[00:03:42]  I'm American.
[00:03:43]  I was born here.
[00:03:45]  Well, that's the same thing with Japanese Americans.
[00:03:46]  No, it ain't.
[00:03:48]  What do you mean?
[00:03:49]  We was born here.
[00:03:50]  Japanese Americans, they wasn't born here.
[00:03:52]  They migrated here.
[00:03:54]  In my humble opinion.
[00:03:56]  What is she talking about?
[00:03:57]  Well, shut up and pay attention.
[00:03:58]  My humble opinion.
[00:03:59]  Let's start this damn video.
[00:04:00]  We ain't starting shit over.
[00:04:02]  We ain't starting the damn thing over.
[00:04:04]  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.
[00:04:11]  If you're born here, I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're not an African American.
[00:04:15]  You're just a plain old stupid American like the rest of us.
[00:04:18]  Now you understand?
[00:04:19]  See where I'm coming from?
[00:04:20]  That's a great point.
[00:04:21]  Yeah, man.
[00:04:22]  I see what you're saying.
[00:04:23]  You know what you mean?
[00:04:24]  I totally see where you're coming from.
[00:04:26]  Yeah.
[00:04:28]  Japanese, they don't speak.
[00:04:30]  I wish y'all would call me a race for not standing for the white national anthem.
[00:04:34]  Oh, oh, you know what you're saying?
[00:04:36]  Well, the main national anthem, that is the white one.
[00:04:38]  No, it's not.
[00:04:39]  You're misrepresenting what the national anthem is.
[00:04:42]  It's for everybody.
[00:04:43]  You liberals misrepresent everything.
[00:04:46]  It's the damn strongman, essentially.
[00:04:49]  That's what you turned everything into a strongman argument.
[00:04:52]  Yeah.
[00:04:53]  Yeah, man.
[00:04:54]  I'm kind of fed up with you.
[00:04:56]  Who?
[00:04:57]  With you.
[00:04:58]  The color people?
[00:05:00]  No, I was going to use the N-word.
[00:05:01]  I'm getting pissed.
[00:05:04]  You're getting tired of you.
[00:05:10]  You stupid.
[00:05:13]  I got to come with some hatred on this.
[00:05:16]  You stupid, man.
[00:05:17]  It's like Current Lake, she didn't stand for the...

=== Kneeling, Voting, and Freedom (02:37) ===

[00:05:19]  Because it's not a national anthem.
[00:05:21]  I mean, if you can kneel for the national anthem, why can't you sit down for the black national anthem?
[00:05:27]  I mean, it's freedom of speech, right?
[00:05:29]  You either believe in freedom or you don't.
[00:05:31]  That's a good point.
[00:05:33]  I'm telling you, man.
[00:05:34]  You is all the time.
[00:05:35]  I am.
[00:05:35]  I am.
[00:05:38]  Damn, brush drop.
[00:05:39]  That's that mic drop.
[00:05:41]  Yeah, brush drop.
[00:05:45]  Yeah, if you can kneel for the national anthem, why the hell I got to stand for a black national anthem?
[00:05:50]  It goes both ways, right?
[00:05:51]  Y'all say y'all.
[00:05:52]  See, the problem with you black people, y'all a bunch of comments.
[00:05:55]  You're a bunch of dictators.
[00:05:56]  You're a bunch of hypocrites.
[00:05:57]  It's freedom of speech.
[00:05:58]  If I can kneel during the national anthem, you best believe I can sit on my ass during the black national anthem.
[00:06:05]  But at the end of the day, it's not a national anthem.
[00:06:07]  Y'all just labeled it that.
[00:06:08]  Yeah.
[00:06:09]  Yeah, it's not the black national anthem.
[00:06:11]  That's another misrepresentation.
[00:06:14]  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.
[00:06:20]  They feel that it's for white people only because they're stupid and ignorant.
[00:06:24]  They're not stupid.
[00:06:24]  They've been misled.
[00:06:26]  No, if you believe that, you ain't got no brain.
[00:06:29]  No, no, no, no.
[00:06:31]  Hey, man, we're trying to get some black vote.
[00:06:33]  Yeah, I want the right kind of black vote.
[00:06:35]  I don't want a bunch of idiots, you know?
[00:06:37]  Because as soon as you offend them, all they're going to do is go run for the left again.
[00:06:42]  As soon as you say something crazy, you know?
[00:06:45]  As soon as you make a joke and it hurts their feelings, you know what?
[00:06:48]  I'm not digging the conservative movement.
[00:06:50]  I'm going back to the Democrats.
[00:06:51]  Yeah, see, y'all racist.
[00:06:52]  Y'all don't really like my kind anyway.
[00:06:56]  Yeah.
[00:06:57]  Man, great Super Bowl.
[00:06:59]  It's a great Super Bowl, man.
[00:07:01]  I mean, don't get me wrong that what's it called?
[00:07:03]  The Negro National Anthem?
[00:07:04]  Black National Anthem?
[00:07:05]  It's a beautiful song.
[00:07:07]  Yeah.
[00:07:07]  I'm not faulting the song.
[00:07:08]  The lyrics are beautiful.
[00:07:09]  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.
[00:07:15]  You shouldn't call this a national anthem.
[00:07:17]  You should just call it what?
[00:07:20]  Negro spiritual or something.
[00:07:22]  It's what it is.
[00:07:25]  But why are you singing it before the Super Bowl?
[00:07:28]  Well, it's a song they sang on America of the Beautiful.
[00:07:30]  Yeah, that was shit.
[00:07:31]  That's about Ray Charles, man.
[00:07:33]  Ray Charles did that?
[00:07:34]  Yeah, the American Beautiful.
[00:07:35]  You never heard him sing that?
[00:07:36]  I don't know if he wrote it.
[00:07:37]  I think he wrote it.
[00:07:38]  Hey, did Ray Charles write that?
[00:07:39]  Oh, he did write it.
[00:07:40]  Another white man wrote that.
[00:07:41]  White man probably wrote that.
[00:07:43]  But it was a beautiful song.
[00:07:44]  Ray Charles made it popular, man.
[00:07:46]  That's the only time I heard it.
[00:07:47]  Yeah, how long is this shit going to go?
[00:07:49]  What?
[00:07:49]  The Black National Anthem.
[00:07:50]  It's the Negro National Anthem.
[00:07:52]  Give it some respect.
[00:07:53]  You know, I'm tired of talking about this shit.
[00:07:56]  Damn, good show.
