How is that bringing something together? How do we eliminate the race box if we\u2019re doing that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, great question,\u201d Thomas replied. \u201cFor a long time, we fought not to have the race box in the Census Report, right? We fought a long time, they just really kinda got it on where we got classified black, white, yellow, blue, people of color. Now, when you sing the national anthem and then you sing the black national anthem, the only thing that it does is it\u2019s emphasizing our separateness. And what our Founding Fathers, when they wrote the Constitution and everything else, they were talking about bringing us together under one umbrella, under one Constitution, where all men and women, are created equal. Not these black, white, red, yellow color boxes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, we were aspiring to be that,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo when you sing those different national anthems, you\u2019re just emphasizing that, okay, there are two different statuses, not races. I\u2019m gonna call it what it is: it\u2019s status. There are two different statuses in this country: black and white. So there\u2019s a black nation anthem; there\u2019s a white national anthem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, if you want to just have one national anthem, then let\u2019s come together collectively and decide what the national anthem is going to be for this country,\u201d he posited. \u201cNot just the \u2018white national anthem\u2019 because the white national anthem has classified as status. We can have an anthem that speaks for Italians, that speaks for Greeks, that speaks for Irish, that speaks for Polish, and that speaks for the aboriginals who were native to this land already. And that\u2019s us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitlock countered, \u201cIsaiah, the only thing \u2014 what you just said \u2014 takes us down the path that they want us to go down. \u2018Well, let\u2019s come up with a new national anthem that we all agree on.\u2019 And once you do that, then their next step will be, \u2018Well, let\u2019s come up with a new Constitution that we all agree on.\u2019 Ahh \u2026 \u2018Now, let\u2019s come up with a new Declaration of Independence.\u2019 And the only thing I\u2019m trying to tell black people every day: \u2018Hey, man, I know s*** started out bad, but that Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and national anthem work for us. It worked for us. Maybe it wasn\u2019t intended for us, but it did work for us.\u2019 And these people who want you just to throw these things out, and \u2018Let\u2019s come up with all new,\u2019 it\u2019s a game. It\u2019s a booby-trap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Fox &amp; Friends, Whitlock fired, \u201cYou can\u2019t have two national anthems if you want to be one country. \u2026 The NFL has bent over backwards for Black Lives Matter and the Marxist agenda and has adopted practices that totally contradict everything you\u2019re taught in team sports and everything that the NFL was about. Football Sundays used to be one of the most unifying experiences we had in this country. People of all different races, economic backgrounds, sexes, would just come together and root for their team. Now they\u2019ve turned things very political and they\u2019re kissing the ring of the Black Lives Matter Marxist movement. \u201c<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
