    are black players more from a poverty background then whites?\
    Do you have the numbers on that - or are you just emoting?

    This is a religious hymn just like the Battle Hymn Of The Republic. Nothing solely "black" regarding its content.
    Same sentiment. Same prayer. Giving God the praise, thanks and glory for our great country.

    Both hymns should be played as far as I'm concerned.....PLUS the National Anthem

    Lift Every Voice and Sing
    James Weldon Johnson, J. Rosamond Johnson
    Lift ev'ry voice and sing
    'Til earth and heaven ring
    Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
    Let our rejoicing rise
    High as the list'ning skies
    Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
    Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
    Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
    Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
    Let us march on 'til victory is won
    Stony the road we trod
    Bitter the chastening rod
    Felt in the days when hope unborn had died
    Yet with a steady beat
    Have not our weary feet
    Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
    We have come over a way that with tears has been watered
    We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered
    Out from the gloomy past
    'Til now we stand at last
    Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast
    God of our weary years
    God of our silent tears
    Thou who has brought us thus far on the way
    Thou who has by Thy might
    Led us into the light
    Keep us forever in the path, we pray
    Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee
    Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee
    Shadowed beneath Thy hand
    May we forever stand
    True to our God
    True to our native land
    Source: LyricFind
    Songwriters: J. Rosamond Johnson / James Johnson
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    I once did an informal survey of professional colleagues on what their parent's background was. Almost every colleague had parents who were college graduates - many of their parents had advanced degrees. I only found one person from a legitimate blue collar family background. One female colleague had a father who was an auto mechanic, and she was the first person in her family to graduate college.

    That showed me right there that the United States has a caste system, and one's opportunity to advance to a higher caste is limited and fraught with difficulties

    I mean, we need a better word than "oversimplification" for that thought.

    It’s amazing how many people aren’t aware of it.

    Notice the words ‘parents’ in your first paragraph.

    One of the biggest impediments to ‘making it’ is being raised in a single parent home.

    On the one hand I don’t know why I should care about it way or the other since they don’t show the National Anthem on TV anyway. And it’s just a song [hardly anyone will know the words to] so it’s like whatever.

    But then I think of the messaging. Black National anthem. Doesn’t that imply black nationalism? There is no white national anthem—it’s just the National Anthem. Everyone sings it because we are One Nation Under God. THAT IS WHY WE SING IT.

    Isn’t that kind of like...oh, what word am I looking for...divisive, that’s it. It’s divisive on its face.


    I don’t want to hear another word about how Trump is dividing the country.
    Whatever happens on Trump's watch, Trump owns.

    And he owns the V recovery?

    He owns it all. Someone isn't keeping up w/ the CBO.

    And good luck w/ the "Fauci economy" argument this fall. Makes Trump seem weak & ineffectual - and isn't intellectually honest, anyway.

    If Trump fired Fauci in April he would have been thrown out of office by May 1st.

    If voters are sophisticated enough to understand that, well lol.

    Fauci has nothing to do with the economy.

    The economy is fucked in large part because of Trump's mishandling of the pandemic.

    But of course his brainwashed cult couldn't care less.

    Could you?

    That is all he does. He is bitching today about black lives matter and those who want to bring down confederate statues. Is that seeking unity? He is throwing an anti-left shit fit under the Rushmore heads. He is a divider in chief. He ran on it and governed with it.
