Did you hear the NFL is planning to play the Black national anthem before each football game? This is the most bizarre, insulting, idiotic, ignorant, offensive and most importantly racist decision in the history of sports.
First of all, I didn t even know there was a Black national anthem. Did you? Silly me, I actually thought we were all Americans. I thought the one and only American national anthem was called The Star Spangled Banner. I thought that one national anthem brought together Americans of all colors, races, sexes, religions and cultures.
I was clearly wrong.
A national anthem for only one race of people sure sounds insulting, offensive and racist to me. I m glad it s not my race promoting such a divisive and intolerant idea.

Olympic Latest: Iran refugee falls short in gold medal bid
Iranian refugee Kimia Alizadeh has fallen short in her bid for a historic taekwondo gold medal, losing in the semifinals after three consecutive stirring victories in the women’s 57-kilogram division.
Alizadeh lost 10-3 to Russian Tatiana Minina, endangering Alizadeh’s bid to win the Refugee Olympic Team’s first-ever medal. Alizadeh still could win bronze in the evening session at the Makuhari Messe convention center.
Alizadeh also won bronze as a teenager in Rio de Janeiro, claiming the first Olympic medal for an Iranian woman. She defected from Iran to Germany early last year, citing institutional sexism and disappointment at being used as a propaganda tool.
