Bill Maher took aim at the NFL for playing Lift Every Voice and Sing - otherwise known as the black national anthem - at Thursday's game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.The Real Time with Bill Maher host warned that having two different national anthems, based on race, was a slippery slope to 'segregation' but 'under a different name,' he said.'I think when you go down a road where you're having two different national anthems, colleges... have different graduation ceremonies for black and white, separate dorms... this is what I mean: segregation,' Maher said

Shockingly, I find myself and Maher, who I normally despise intensely, on the same side of an issue.
This requires a careful examination of my position to ensure that I have not made an error. In this case....Maher has come over to the correct side. An exteme rarity for him. He is about 95% of the time a flaming leftist jerk and hater of all things that I hold dear.

Having one section for vaccinated, and another is also segregation. Having communism in some states, and capitalism elsewhere is also segregation. We are not getting along, and it is going to get worse.

I could never go sit at any NFL game where there are “two national anthems” played. The new song, yes, it is technically not an official anthem but it has been hijacked for that purpose. Until we see huge backlash by black Americans against it, we will keep seeing it be called the black national anthem.
It is an insult to our real anthem and the deeply held meanings behind it. I cannot believe so many people wanted to see a football game so bad that they put up with that. How sad for our country.

The America-hating lowlifes who run ( and work for ) the NFL keep reaching new lows after I feel they can't get any worse. GLAD I no longer have my season tickets to the Redskins.

Prefer "APARTHEID" to "segregation". Apartheid is very much a growing phenomenon with the USA and not just in social interaction. It is becoming all pervesive under the heading of "Equality, Equity, Diversity and avoidance of Racism". At this rate Balkanization is a real threat and the days of the UNION are numbered

We would be happy with blacks having their own country to go with their national anthem. Maybe move the teams to Zimbabwe and Uganda.

Since I don't watch NFL football anymore, is it going to be played at every game this year?

Maher is partially right, when he points to a dangerous division in our country, but it's not black vs white, rather it is the new segregationists against the United States of America. The National Anthem has a unifying theme and purpose. It's not for white people or any other ethnic or racial group. That is an absurd and stupid assertion by evil people who want division, contention and ultimately hostility among the American people.
The "new segregationists" are the old segregationists, namely Democrats. Maybe a fringe, or maybe those doggone racist roots are so deep in their hearts that they just can't help themselves. The goal is the same: marginalize blacks by putting them in opposition to the American People as a whole. Fortunately the vast majority of us reject that.
It's Dem/Leftists (and, sad to say, some RINOs who are ignoramuses, too eager to be part of the cool set) who must be identified as the source of such poisonous divisiveness, and then marginalized and rejected.

#3, You have hit on something. “ I cannot believe so many people wanted to see a football game so bad that they put up with that.” Here is the crux of our problem when it comes to the left. Not enough of us will stand up and say, NO. We just sit there and take it because we want to see a ballgame or go to some kind of entertainment event. The sooner we realize that we are in the middle of a conflict that is not going to go away and will get worse, the better we will be. We have to quit going along to get along. There comes a time to stand up and this is that time. We cannot put our own desires above doing what we know is right. We must resist and outwardly defy these anti-American separatists.

I used to have a box for the Cowboys. Theoretically sill do, although it’s subleased.
The only reason I’d volunteer to go is to participate in a mass kneeling and back turn for the black “national anthem”.

Where does it stop? Do we come up with a National Anthem for Latinos? How about Asians or Native Americans? Then we'll need one for gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, and each of the 150 different genders.

This is my 4th year without NFL on TV and always travelled to at least one game a year. I associated the 5 Dallas police officers assassinated after the multimillionaire adopted and raised by a wealthy white family Kaepernick with inciting the rage of the psycho that tore those families apart.

I have no problem with a return to segregation. There was less crime when we made sure blacks were kept separate from civilized people.

This all began in the 70’s when Black student unions etc was allowed. It has only gained momentum. I thought it was wrong then and wrong now. Many women too, wanting their own special clubs and quotas but destroying any men’s institution, like Boy’s Scouts, segregation, I.e. special treatment for me, not for thee.

Maher is following the drudgereport type of thinking. Before Trump there was the zero. Drudge fanned fires on the right with a lean towards right of center. When Trump was President drudgereport went hard left, verging on pointlessly silly left. Maher in the pursuit of a dwindling audience is trying to win over right leaning people to his point of view. Scratch him and ring worm and hard left hopes and dreams fall out of him.

If the left wanted to be fair, then they would insist on a Latino national anthem to also be played, since Latinos are a larger minority than Blacks.

Yes #17 exactly what I’ve said also! I’ll feel safer for my family if the “folks” who commit the majority of crimes are kept amongst their own people. Segregating them from the white privileged should make them extremely happy.

So ...are you saying lefties...I'm not allowed to watch black football players...well...so be it...I've been off football since the black creep knelt as a sign of disrespect for America... so I will not miss Sunday afternoon watching black pampered athletes strut their stuff...I tune in on Newsman and Frankspeech.com... and I have a very extensive home film library...so I plug in a movie and pop some popcorn with lots of butter and I'm happy with my country that has given me that freedom...

One of the weapons of the left is to divide us. They know that in unity there is strength . They want us going at each other instead of any anger being directed toward them for their personal enrichment /destroy America ""governing ". Stay strong , be informed.

We've been watching an old t.v. series from the 1950s, based on a true story, I Led 3 Lives, where an Advertising Exec, was an undercover Communist for the F.B.I. (the F.B.I. that had integrity). Anyway, the same plots, undermining of our country, stealing of our national secrets, stirring up hatred and DIVISION were planned and concocted. Instigating hatred of one group against another. (behind the scene, they mocked and hated all ethnic groups.) It was like watching today's news and what the Commie Left's is doing. They haven't changed. They hate this country and want to destroy it and make it a Communist country. Nothing will stop them, lying, cheating, stealing, and murder. There was a real Philip A. Philbrick who lived in Mass. Amazing!

Excuse the 2nd post. If there's one football player you need to pray for, it is Colin Kaepernick. At one time he was a believing Christian, so much so that he has powerful scripture tattooed all over his body. I used to know someone that was in Christian fellowship with him in Modesto, CA. Sad story. Colin got sidetrack by a woman (sorta like an Adam and Eve story). A radical Muslim activist. Colin is half white (for those who claim him to be a black savior) and was adopted by a godly Christian family. He needs prayer to come back to Jesus.

Bill Maher's lefty 'allies' will now turn on him and call him a racist. Get the impression Maher won't back down though. There are probably many on the left that agree with him, and are disturbed by the direction the left has taken over the last decade. Many on the left are realizing this is not what they signed up for.

Can't believe it. Maher agrees with me on something. But, Bill, haven't you wondered yet why America's hispanics and illegals aren't livid because Spain's and Mexico's national anthems aren't played as well?

Years ago I used to watch Maher, who was not political and wickedly funny. He is no dummy. It appears that he still has a workng brain and is seeing what is happening to his/our country and he doesn’t like it.

The Blind Squirrel finds another nut. Bill Maher's been making sense more frequently of late, which makes me remember fondly the conversion of Dennis Miller 20 years ago and wonder whether Maher might be about to go a similar route.
Maher seems more obstinate, though, so I'm not inclined to expect any lasting change in his view.

If they really want to divide the nation even more, the racist African Americans that support this BS should insist that their Black Nation Song should be sung in "ebonics". As a person of Mexican heritage I insist that prior to each NFL game they play the Mexican Hat Dance. Thank you Democrats for dividing our country along racial lines! I haven't watched an NFL games since Krapernick took a knee during the playing of our nations authentic National Anthem.

#17 and 22, I am disappointed and disgusted by the bigotry shown in your statements. It is not ALL people of any color or ethnicity that is the problem. As conservatives (most of whom are actually classic liberals in the original definition of the word), we judge people as INDIVIDUALS based on the content of their character--not on any physical differences. What you should understand is many of those people who are problematic are the product of generations of manipulation and abuse by the Democrats and radical left. LBJ did the most damage right after the Civil Rights Act with his misnamed policies "War on Poverty" and "Great Society", both of which were designed to keep most of the blacks down, in poverty and dependent on government, especially the Democratic Party. It was PLANNED that way. The policies destroyed the once strong nuclear black families. They kicked the man out of the house by offering money at a time when black unemployment was very high. Before that time, black marriage rates were higher and black divorce rates were lower than those for whites. Children were constantly being raised without fathers and has no boundaries nor role models in the home.
Then, you had the radical leftist groups using people's insecurities and perceptions to bring on the victimization ideology. That's when the leftists from the Marcus Garveys to the Black Panthers started pushing black power and return to African roots ideas. The Democrats have always manipulated the black community by recruiting individuals (many already individuals of influence within their communities--businessmen, reverends, outspoken popular people, etc.) that they could control who were willing to sell out their own people. They bribed and placed them in positions of power or ran them into political office to get blacks onto the Democrat Plantation and keep them there with propaganda, lies, and peer pressure.
The story goes on...but the point is that we are ALL Americans and should be getting along as one united group. "Race" is just a man-made construct created by sociologists and anthropologists to study humans based on culture, language, and family traits. We are all genetically the same. Physical characteristics developed for survival reasons in the various climate and geographical environments. They do not make us different. Bigotry is the result of ignorance and fear. There is no reason for anyone to fall into it. We are all human and individuals. Some of the most wonderful people I have known looked very different from me. Let's get past the prejudices and not allow the race hustlers divide us. They are only doing it so they can profit and gain power from it.
