From Fox News: Coco Jones performed “Lift Every Voice and Sing” on Sunday ahead of Super Bowl LX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” is also known as the Black national anthem and has been a source of consternation for NFL fans since the league started to use the song during the 2020 season. Each Super Bowl, the performance of the song brings out hot takes on social media.
Super Bowl LX was no different, as the song being a part of the pregame festivities drew backlash on X once again.
Although the left is giving high praise to the performance, conservatives are furious.
Below is a sampling of the outrage that has already erupted on social media:
The United States of America has ONLY ONE National Anthem
Kicking off the #SuperBowl, in the year of our great nation’s 250th birthday, with the “Black National Anthem”, is a disgrace & racially divisive…

The performance of the “Black National Anthem” is pure disgusting. Are you an American or not? They divide us every way they can. Gross!

I’m sorry, no. “Black National Anthem” is so segregationist and perpetuates more racism
We’re all Americans
Leave it at that
