Part 2/15:
The Super Bowl as a Reflection of Traditional Americana
To dispel the stereotype, the speaker chooses to highlight the Super Bowl—a quintessentially American cultural event long enjoyed by conservatives. Reflecting on the game, they note the inclusion of the Black national anthem sung by Andre Day, which initially caused some concern but ultimately was framed as a recognition of a distinct cultural identity. The commentary humorously suggests that Black Americans might have their own country with its own anthem—an exaggerated way to underline differences in experience and perhaps critique cultural separation.
