    My headlines I’m seeing “stick” are complaints about Usher’s halftime show and Andra Day singing Lift Every Voice and Sing.

    But yeah, I see Taylor Swift stuff if I specifically search for it. But the anti-Black Artist thing seems to be the thing sticking. I dunno, lets see what happens tomorrow morning.

      My memory is fuzzy, but haven’t most of the halftime performers been black over the last several years?

      It seems like an odd thing to complain about now… whatever.

        After the kneeling / Black Lives Matters thing just a few years ago??

        Nah man, racial politics have penetrated into Football. The adults want it to go away because its mildly embarrassing to the league. But there’s a large group of racists who want to stir up anti-Black shit here.

        I think the point was that her voice cracked and it was a comparatively mid halftime show

      It’s interesting watching their narrative form. Often they don’t have an opinion on a subject until Fox News tells them to.

      Ah yes. Racists getting upset about the “Black National Anthem”, painfully unaware that if they go to church, there’s a good chance it’s in their church hymnal.
