WAYNE ROOT: I Did NOT Stand for Black National Anthem at the Super Bowl. Here are Some Important Questions for the NFL.
By Wayne Allyn Root
The so-called “Black National Anthem” was sung at the Super Bowl on Sunday. I did NOT stand. Did you?
I find this disgraceful and disgusting. I find it racist. I find it divisive. I find it offensive and insulting.
Not because I’m white, but because I’m an American.
I grew up in a blue-collar neighborhood in a majority-black town. I am Jewish. My neighbors were Italian Catholic and Irish Catholic.
At my high school on the Bronx borderline in Mt. Vernon, New York, almost everyone was black. I was the minority. I was bullied. I was attacked and beaten. But I never asked for an anthem to celebrate my minority status.
