The bigger question is why anyone needs to ask why their is a negro anthem (don't @ me that is how it was known) outside of some twisted desire to disparage a large group of people out of spite.

If you recall, 600,000+ Union Soldiers died or were maimed for life in order to secure the rights for all people in this Country.
That’s a pretty big price paid in order to unite us all under one anthem.
