=== Unifying Behind the Anthem (02:16) ===

[00:00:00]  Can we drop the Black National Anthem yet?
[00:00:03]  Good God Almighty.
[00:00:05]  I don't care what names you call.
[00:00:06]  Listen, man.
[00:00:08]  When I'm watching the Super Bowl...
[00:00:09]  I don't want to do anything but chill.
[00:00:12]  I don't want people talking to me.
[00:00:13]  I like to listen to the lead-up to the game.
[00:00:16]  I like to watch the game.
[00:00:18]  I like to smack on my wings without anybody giving me any types of problems.
[00:00:23]  I like to eat a bunch of junk food, and I just want to be happy-go-lucky.
[00:00:27]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:00:28]  I don't want to feel like I'm oppressed or think that I'm oppressed.
[00:00:31]  Oh, I'm getting ready to have a good time.
[00:00:33]  Wait a minute.
[00:00:33]  I do need to check myself.
[00:00:35]  I'm a black man.
[00:00:36]  Am I still oppressed inside of the United States of America?
[00:00:39]  And no, the answer is no.
[00:00:41]  And I love the Black National Anthem, but it's time to kiss it goodbye when it comes to the NFL, for God's sakes.
[00:00:47]  It's just not the time or place.
[00:00:49]  With sports events, you want to unify people.
[00:00:53]  And I'm sorry, I just don't think the Black National Anthem does, nor do I believe that it's fair to other people that have endured persecution within the United States.
[00:01:02]  I mean, for God's sakes, is there a Jewish, or the Jewish National Anthem?
[00:01:06]  We've seen a rise in anti-Semitism.
[00:01:07]  We saw all of the persecution that took place on college campuses across this nation.
[00:01:13]  And honestly, even after Donald Trump's election initially, and he's putting a smackdown on that, but I just think it's just...
[00:01:22]  Absolutely insane to keep this nonsense going.
[00:01:25]  I mean, should we have a national anthem for Native Americans?
[00:01:29]  I just don't get it.
[00:01:30]  I believe that they're exclusionary.
[00:01:32]  I don't believe that they're inclusionary when you're trying to implement the black national anthem.
[00:01:37]  I just think it's a bad idea.
[00:01:39]  I think it's time to move on.
[00:01:41]  Listen, Trump is cool now.
[00:01:42]  Colin Kaepernick is no longer cool when it comes to the NFL. So can we move on?
[00:01:48]  Can't we all just get along as the great philosopher?
[00:01:51]  Rodney King once said.
[00:01:53]  And I think one of the ways to get along is to unify behind one anthem, and that is our national anthem.
[00:02:01]  That's unifying for everyone.
