MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): So we tune in. One of the first things one sees – the Black national anthem.
...
KNOWLES: But now, the libs are saying there are two national anthems - one for Black people, one for white people. Which one do the Hispanics and the Asians and the other people – I don't know which one they get to sing. Maybe they'll get their own. But if there are two national anthems, that means that there are two nations. Two competing nations. Are they going to be geographically distinct nations? Is what the libs saying here is that Black people need one part of the country and white people need another part of the country? Or is it going to be two nations fighting over the same geographical land? Is it the libs calling for a race war? Those are the only options.
If you have two national anthems for two distinct groups of people within the same geographic territory, then you're either calling for partition like you saw with India and Pakistan, or you're calling for a race war for one group to conquer the other in the geographical territory. That's the only thing that that can mean. And so you see the singer, whoever she is, singing this made-up song and you see all these other people of all different races behind her looking very uncomfortable and slightly bored and just largely confused. That's the right expression. You should be uncomfortable with this. This idea does not end well.
