The debate over the Black national anthem has sparked controversy with some questioning why other ethnic groups don't have their own anthems. Critics argue that having a separate anthem could further divide Americans, while others express pride in the anthem's recognition. The song, often referred to as the Black national anthem, has historical significance and is associated with Black American culture, particularly in the South and at HBCUs.
The song, first performed publicly to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday, is commonly known as the Black national anthem. https://t.co/nZn7wdcaI1

This is embarrassing. If you are not a BLACK AMERICAN donโt speak on us. That goes for the whole diaspora. It is our national anthem and we literally grew up with the song. ESPECIALLY in the south and at HBCUโs. https://t.co/clVAy85V3g
Iโm really proud of the blacks for getting their own national anthem. Next up, water fountains!
When they play the "black national anthem," whatever it's called, patriots should not just take a knee but should also turn their backs.
You left out the part where he called it the โNegro National Anthemโ https://t.co/nT7TfAzpXP
Thereโs only one national anthem. Why do these politicians want to divide Americans even further? https://t.co/8b4SNM8Uek
Why did blacks get their own national anthem but not Mexican, Asians and Native Americans?
