    Because it highlights a very obvious reason they have no reason to complain other than racism. This is like the fucking “I like waffles” tweet manifesting itself.

      LOL yes, let’s make up fake arguments to tear down, then assert that the only possible answer is the argument we pulled out of our ass!

        Are you suggesting there is a non-racist reason to be upset about the black national anthem?

          There are racist reasons and there are what I would consider to be illegitimate, but also perfectly non-racist, reasons someone might be upset.

          Replace the national anthem with fucking Alanis Morissette or literally anything else and people are going to be outraged.

          E: no you guys are right, I don’t know what I was thinking, everything bad is the fault of racism. I repent of my sins.
