Love her or hate her, but Rihanna just showed her fellow women how to do a classy Super Bowl performance without dressing or acting like they are in a strip club.

y’all saying “chiefs” is just 🤢 i’m sorry but indigenous people are already cultural appropriated enough and we’ve been trying to protest these names and mascots for decades and everyone ignoring it isn’t helping

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Well with the Super Bowl dust up over the Black National Anthem it felt appropriate to ask chatGPT. I will note that at my nine-year old daughter's school in Brooklyn they always sing the Black National Anthem so she knows it.

Me: Write a scene with an African American father explaining the history an importance of the Black National Anthem to his daughter

ChatGPT:

African American Father: Hey there, baby girl. You know, I was thinking we could talk about something important today. Do you know what the Black National Anthem is?

Daughter: No, Daddy. What is it?

African American Father: Well, it's a song called "Lift Every Voice and Sing." It was written by James Weldon Johnson and his brother John Rosamond Johnson, two African American brothers, back in 1900. It was first performed as a poem to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday and became a song in the 1920s.

Daughter: Why is it important?

African American Father: Well, for starters, it's a celebration of our culture and heritage. It's a way for us to honor our ancestors and the sacrifices they made for us. It's also a way for us to show our pride in being African American and to remember the struggles and challenges we've faced as a community.

Daughter: That sounds cool, Daddy.

African American Father: It is, baby girl. But it's also important for us to understand the history behind the song and the message it conveys. It was written at a time when African Americans were fighting for their rights and facing a lot of discrimination and oppression. The lyrics talk about overcoming obstacles and rising up, even in the face of adversity.

Daughter: Wow, I never knew that.

African American Father: Yeah, and that's why it's so important for us to learn about and remember our history. We need to understand where we've come from and what our ancestors went through so that we can appreciate all that we have today and continue to fight for our rights and equality.

Daughter: I understand, Daddy. Can we sing it together?

African American Father: Of course, baby girl. Let's sing it loud and proud. [Father and daughter sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing."]

Me: What are the lyrics to Lift Every Voice and Sing?

ChatGPT:

Here are the lyrics to "Lift Every Voice and Sing" also known as the Black National Anthem:

Lift every voice and sing, Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?

We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray.

Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land.

cue the team’s reputation era

I didn't want Mahomes or the TSwift show. Its so stupid, I'm over it. I like that Taylor has gotten her fans into the game but they are only in it because of her and will drop it. The NFL is using it for the money. Here I am an official fan dying for the NFL to not become like politics but since 2017 it has been. The seats are not supposed to be the price of a damn car. It's supposed to be fun.

My opinion

My opinion, which is probably similar to yours, the NFL Superbowl has always been a marketing ploy. Joe burrow said it back in 2022. The players are simply props for a bigger show and hardly any fans take up the seats because of the egregious cost of them. They showed Taylor so much because of the huge amount of exposure they get from articles and swifties. I genuinely feel that they should really stop showing her, because real fans of the sport are getting tired of the Taylor show. Everyone is there to watch the game not see her reactions to Travis. Hopefully all the foolishness will die out eventually, but considering how big of a star she is I'm not planning on it.

Henry Cavill,

I love you but I fucking HATE your football team.

[diamonddolljeanette]

I don't get the hate Rihanna is getting for her halftime show performance.

I absolutely loved every second of it.

But then I have max respect for her. To pull herself up from horrible domestic abuse and rise above like she did is so beautiful!

A real queen in my book.
