The lyrics do not come into this at all. They can be singing Ice Ice Baby and if it was being sung as a Black National Anthem it is racist. The one and only National Anthem doesn't not exclude by race. It doesn't exclude at all. To sing anything as a race based anthem is racist... regardless of the contents of what is being sung. However, when one couples this being sung as specifically a black national anthem it does change the meaning and imply some racial overtones to the song... having just read the lyrics now; since, again, the lyrics were not part of it. However I see maybe I could have been a bit more clear in my "this is race-dividing garbage" statement - that wasn't in regards to the song, that was in regards to there being a separate race-based anthem at all.
