i love the voice guys. you sound great but can you record it again. i would love to hear your voices without the static. May God continue to bless you and those voices.
Shows how racist and stereotypical you are you white bastard, Like Africa does not have modern cities and stable countries, what a dumbass cracka you are. FUCK AMERICA AND WHITE PEOPLE YOU NO GOOD BASTARD
please just stfu. really. this song wasnt originally named the black national anthem but lift every vioce and sing. its not like other ppl who arent black cant sing this. lastly, having a white national anthem might be considered racist because caucasion isnt considered a minority.
The Black National Anthem is not, or has it ever been an act of racism. James Weldon Johnson did not write Lift Every Voice as a mean of discrimination towards other races, he wrote because at the time AFRICAN AMERICANS were oppressed and this song was a rejuvement to our people it was something that could brighten our day, and who said that a white person can't sing Lift Every Voice and Sing, neither did anyone say that a hispanic or an asian cant sing this song.
Not being funny but why is it that when black people choose to have something which shows pride for who we are and are heritage its considered racist? Its almost like we should feel bad about celebrating who we are as a minority!
Since it's an illegitimate national anthem (unless someone can prove to me that a country named Black does, in fact, exist), it's a racial anthem, designed to foster division, and alienation, among blacks in America, by making them believe that they're not Americans, but members of another nationality, one based on race. If you still don't see anything wrong with a Black National Anthem, then imagine if it was called the White National Anthem.
FUCK AMERICA YOU WHITE CRACKER BASTARD !!! now I now you will do the typical 'GO BACK TO AFRICA NIGGER' rhetoric you crackers love to sport on the internet but never in the perscence. I would love for you gutless crackers to say it in my face.. I will have a two-by four waiting to bash every bone in your racist white ass until they turn to powder and you bleed LIKE A FUCKIN RABBIT BEING SKINNED YOU WHITE MUTHAFUCKA !!!
@TheNewsoul2 Fuck America? Are you on medication? Nowhere else on the planet Earth are Black people treated as well & have as much opportunity to succeed as here in the U.S. I know that just like EVERYONE else, they have suffered & struggled to fit in; but do some research into what the Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Irish, Mexican, Natives, & virtually every other group has come to This GREAT Nation have experienced & do some soul searching. I love America & I'm not White. Good luck
@TheNewsoul2 "Fuck America" ? Hahahaha feel free to run back to Africa, from "African-American"...... wont hurt my feelings. See how you like them lions, gators, and other deadly animals that would just love to feast on your ass. Better yet, see how you would deal with those men with automatic machine guns forcing YOUR people into slavery to this very day......."Fuck America"? no no no America says Fuck you. Have a good day
This is weak. It projects weakness to would be enemies. Very wishy washy. Not to say the current NA is that great now "Battle Hymmn of the Republic" that would be a "uplifting anthem".
Yes, and the racial tension you were feeling, coming from your gut, came from you. That is what racism is, making yourself different by trying to be something you are not, which is, comfortable with yourself. Feeling that discomfort, you took a situation and damned yourself. Your hatred comes from within, and every time you make a racist remark or sing a racist song, you hurt yourself, not those at whom the diatribe is aimed.
My oppinion is the black national anthem is an EMPOWERING song. not to hurt but to create peace.. and thats what it specifically was used for... NOT to create racism..
For defence. instead of offence. which is the reason theese 3 people sang the song, and the reason it was made.
If anything is specified directly towards one single race it is indeed racist and will always be viewed as racist.
By creating 'black' songs and whatnot and by singing them especially you are only segregating yourself more from people of other races. Blacks truly are the most racist race in the world yet they don't even realize it from their own ignorance. Georgehalo123 had it right to begin with. You create your own racism.
Every nationality, ever culture, every hertiage has their own anthem. The Irish, Canadians, Newfoundlanders, Spanish! It is only people being proud of their roots and passing down songs from history and their familes! Sing loud and sing proud!! :)
I'm not tryin to start an arguement i just wanted to know...what would your anthem be about? What did u go through to have one? If you feel like you deserve one than go ahead and make one..i wouldn't label you racist. I feel like if your anthem would be meaningful and represent somethin' positive than you should have one. Honestly..not lookin for an arguement.
We said Black National Anthem, not "Country Anthem." Yes, you are right we are all the same. But this song just encourage the Black community how far we come to not give up now. This song is an Anthem to the Black community because it gave our people a sense of "hope" for tomorrow. A time for change. A time of new beginnings. A chance so great that someday will be a change where we are all as one. This song is a remembrance of how our people came to great success, and a song that enlighten us.
If I came up with a song and dubbed it the "White Anthem" I would be called a racist. There is a black college fund, but if I was to start a "white" college fund for underprivileged white youth,I would be called a racist.Why does there need to be a "black" community,why can't it just be the community? Why do people want to be called African Americans instead of just Americans? We all came from different backgrounds-THE MORE WE DIVIDE,THE MORE WE KEEP RACISM ALIVE!So therefore this song is racist
hawksSkater06, I have one question for you....... Where were the black people when the Star Spangled Banner was written? My point exactly! We should be celebrating both Anthems!
No we are not. This is a country with many different nationlities. Really it is a country divided.People need to stop acting as if thier is all american have the same experinces. People need to face the fact that we "all" including me have some work to do to make america what it should be. That is Real.
And as long as there are people like you that see it that way, we will always have racial problems. There is no such thing as an "African-American", "Irish-American", etc. We are all "Americans" with one nation and one anthem.
And why stop there. Why not have a Nazi-American anthem, a Klan-American anthem, a Gay-American anthem, a "name it"-American anthem, etc etc etc..the list could go on and on. And thats why this is stupid. The USA has only one anthem, and as soon as the race card finally is played out and dead, we will all be better for it.
maybe if the US considered all men equal int he first place, the need for an empowering song for a people that have been oppressed wouldnt have been needed. I await what Obama being in power will do for your country.
@bigbrowneyez1202 Where were the blacks when the flag was made? Where were the blacks when the government was made? Where were the blacks when the constitution was made? Why only stop at the national anthem?
A black national anthem....whatever....we are ONE country....Black, white, red, brown, green, any other color....We have ONE national anthem....The Star Spangled Banner....These is a disgrace
you are a Hebrew Israelite and Black is the condition or state of Mind that our people have been reduce to, it is idea and not a true people, it is a byword and proverb. Our history, true culture, language, lands, and true God, Creator knowledge stripped.. and rename Negros in the 67 Black people in 1984 African Americans, Peace keep Having fun I like it.... but know the truth, U will here from me know more
That was nice you guys but once you get the harmonizing together, put some heart behind it. It sounds like you are just singing it and not feeling it. Keep up the good work!!
so, im not black (african american), but i am brown (mexican/philippino... american).. so my question is, is this an african national anthem, or a song written by a black man for black people?.. and if this is a stupid question, sorry..
you say "where is my video" as to say that having a video on youtube is an accopmlishment. but if you'd like i can send you the recording of my arrangement.
i love the voice guys. you sound great but can you record it again. i would love to hear your voices without the static. May God continue to bless you and those voices.
