Part 3/8:
To counteract the stereotypes, the speaker shifts focus to a significant American cultural event: the Super Bowl. He nostalgically recalls a time when "men were men," adorned in leather helmets—an ironic nod to outdated notions of masculinity. The event begins with Andre Day performing the Black National Anthem, an element the speaker notes as a "tremendous relief" because it proves that Black Americans have their own nation and anthem, implying a divisive view on racial integration and identity politics.
