before Claressa's match
I hope it becomes a thing to include the Black National Anthem in events where the overwhelming majority of players/athletes are Black
Not saying the usual Anthem mess should be removed
but include and mix in our specific mess like GODly did here. It just makes sense. when done right it sounds beautiful
And it's not like its message is any less relevant than it was decades ago . I still get chills and teary eyed when I hear it

She's actually getting dragged for this and called classless. Another black woman had sang this already and she randomly sang it again........unprompted
I know they were pissed :plzstop:

I saw that post on Insta and the people dragging her are idiots cuz if u listen to the clip you can hear the instrumental/pianist LEADING her into the Black National Anthem
Not her suddenly shifting gears and the pianist tryna keep up
The transition was smooth af . It was clearly rehearsed and scheduled to go that way
Lemme breathe I'm tryna change my ways
But I'm sorry thats wat u call dumb niggers
Finding a way to twist such a beautiful moment into mess
against two black women at that. with the black national anthem involved
When we rarely get to see it performed at major sporting events. Hell if a THOUSAND people sung it back to back at that same event, it still wouldn't make up for the times we didn't hear it
Ok am calm now.
What I meant to say was:
"That's unfortunate because the actual footage doesn't seem to support that story."
The lord is still workin on me yall
Pray for a bitch

yea between her and probably her own hired pianist
But I'm sure the event didn't hired them both to sing the same song
Kelly is a mess

mmmmmm hmmmm.
so we done jumped from her "randomly" singing it , "unprompted" (when the instruments clearly prompted and led her into the mess)
to "the pianist was in on the mess too."
when yall finally arrive at "maybe this was actually part of the scheduled show" lemme know
:unbothered:
Kelly looks great
