A t this point, it’s just kind of amusing to watch white conservatives get their Klan-derwear all in a bunch over literally any mundane thing that has the word “Black” behind it.
For the second year in a row, “ Lift Every Voice and Sing ,” aka the Black National Anthem, has been performed during the Super Bowl, and for the second year in a row, prominent white conservatives, along with their white-and-teary followers, have complained about it ad nauseam.
Here’s Megyn Kelly — the former Fox News host who famously took umbrage with Santa Clause and Jesus being depicted as Black — suddenly taking a pro-colorblind stance on the official national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
“The so-called Black National Anthem does not belong at the Super Bowl. We already have a National Anthem and it includes EVERYONE,” said the woman who thinks blackface is fine but considers the Black National Anthem an insult.
