Significant social media reaction has been sparked by Andra Day’s performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” often known as the “Black National Anthem,” during the Super Bowl.
Day sung the song at Super Bowl LVIII before to Reba McEntire singing the National Anthem.

Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida decided not to watch the event at all because he was so offended by the song’s inclusion.
Rep. Mike Loychik of Ohio stated on X, the website that was originally known as Twitter, “there’s no such thing as a ‘black national anthem.’”
“We are all AMERICANS, united by our great and beautiful Star Spangled Banner,” Loychik continued. “The Super Bowl is supposed to bring us together. It’s a disgrace that the NFL decided to push the politics of racial division again.”
Both political analysts and fans had a lot to say about the show.

“WTF is the ‘Black National Anthem’?! We already have an anthem that includes everyone and doesn’t discriminate based on the color of your skin. Disgraceful!” TikTok users’ libs uploaded on X.

We are supposed to be America – not white – not black, etc. We have one National Anthem and it should stay that way. How ridiculous – this is the way news media keeps racist alive.
It is truly a sad day that we have come to this! We have the United States National Anthem! Not a White, Black, Asian or Brown Anthem. We are the United Stat3s of America where we welcome all, Black, White, Bronn and Asian and all other races!
To bad the NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS are not recognized as a race which they are and have been excluded by the media and certain racial groups who are pushing an agenda to divide the country rather than unite us. One nation under God is the motto of America – not several divisions focused on by thumb sucking babies ,whining to get their way. Since my ancestry contains some American Indian blood I can tell you the National Anthem has set me free under God.
ain’t no such thing as a Black National Anthem, unless it is the anthem of the ANC of South Africa.
