Maybe every NFL team should be required to put this in every locker room so their multimillionaire mistreated slaves can see it.

And at Wisconsin they play this:



That would be fun.

I vision in 50 years, at this rate of destruction, Democrats will pretend that every black was a slave, that all monuments designating the events and people of the Civil war, were all fictions.
They want America to be black. Watch how commercials now get made. Very heavy using blacks. It won't be long that whites won't show up on TV.

Remember, it's the Jews that run hollywood.

Robert W,

During slavery most blacks WERE slaves. Thats a fact you just have to accept.

You would think they'd refuse the play the song, for that very reason.

But music has a life of it's own, independent of who wrote it.

I had to listen to that bit of Rock and Roll and am not able to locate proof it is played at sports games in the USA.

Fair enough. But a lot of blacks owned slaves. Question. How did the blacks living in the North avoid being slaves since it was legal at the time as reported out by the Supreme Court?

 

[Robert W]

I think they still play it in some places.

Here is the conservtive mindset:

No outrage. Because whites get to do whatever they want. They are entitled to that because this is a white country. Whites came here and found an entire land mass that had nobody living on it and they built this country all by themselves. So they get to determine what is American and everybody else must assimilate. You cannot have your own culture, your culture is determined by whites.

Why then can you post daily at times where you blast Whites all the time?

Hockey games are where you will most frequently hear it played. At least that used to be the case, I haven't been to a hockey game in years.

Popular use

Sports

In North America, "Rock and Roll Part 2" became popularly associated with sports, as a number of professional teams adopted the song for use during games, primarily to signify scores and victories, or to otherwise invigorate the crowd. It is often referred to as "The Hey Song", as the only intelligible word in Part 2 is the exclamation of "Hey", punctuating the end of several instrumental phrases and repeated three times at the song's chorus. It was played first in a sport setting in 1974 at games for the Kalamazoo Wings of the high-minor International Hockey League by Kevin O'Brien, the team's public relations and marketing director. When he went to work for the NHL's Colorado Rockies in 1976, he brought the song with him. After the Rockies moved to New Jersey as the New Jersey Devils in 1982, the Denver Nuggets and Denver Broncos picked up the tradition and were the first NBA and NFL teams to play the song during games. At sporting events, fans often insert their own "Hey," or sometimes other chanted syllables (such as "you suck!"—which controversially led to a decision by the Devils to switch to a song by New Jersey-native Bon Jovi instead).

In 1999, Glitter was convicted of downloading child pornography in England, and in 2006 of child sexual abuse charges in Vietnam. After the second conviction was upheld in court, the NFL asked teams to stop playing the song. The NFL allowed a cover version of the song by the Tube Tops 2000 to be played, but in 2012, the NFL instructed teams to "avoid" the song following negative reaction from British media to the New England Patriots' use of the song. In 2014, Billboard reported that the song was slowly falling out of favour due to both the controversies, and teams electing to replace it with newer songs.

I went to the San Jose Sharks games a few times and don't recall that song at all.

Somebody posted a video of WI students jumping up and down but the blacks there were happy.

I edited that post, added a Wikipedia link (yeah, I'm not fond of them either) that provides information.

Does that hurt your feelings?

It makes me angry because it perpetuates racism and divisivness.

They only played "Lift Every Voice and Sing" before the games of week one of the season. They will probably play it again before the Super Bowl. Given the number of Black players in the league, that seems reasonable.

If you take issue with them playing it, even in such a limited fashion, boycott the NFL. I'm sure they'll miss your contributions to the sport/league...

It emphasizes that they see black as separate from white. It should not be that way. The only way to achieve color blindness is true equality, i.e. stop separating out people by color and start treating everybody the same as Americans.

Then you would have to make everything from music to food colorblind. No more Chinese, Italian or French restaurants.

If you want to make America color blind, start with taking all foreign words out of the language. But it would make it pretty hard to write anything.

Did you get angry when they played Dixie?
