I would have literally died and gone to Heaven, and I'm 64 years old. Big fan. Seen her in concert in Philadelphia but not at Coachella. I play the Homecoming video and PRETEND I WAS THERE🤣
You can feel the hurt, anger, and bravery in scream, you can imagine from the riots, protests, hardships of the black people in the past. Contrast to the soothing way Beyonce sang it. This is so symbolic.
Chill Will reading comprehension is crucial. He said hardships in the past. If you don’t know what hardships blacks had in the past in this country, then you need to log of RU-vid right now and go open a book.
This song must be taught in our schools. It is a vitally important part of our history and meaningful for so many fellow citizens. If you never heard it before, the answer to "why" is a key element of systemic racism. It is up to us to repair that wrong. I would love to see school choirs across the nation learn this song and create a massive Juneteenth celebration of its singing. Beyonce is teaching the children...! So should we.
This song was actually taught to me in school with an explanation of why it's important all the way back in 2003. I'm always baffled whenever nobody knows it.
David Natale it's ok for non blacks to know it, but idk if they should necessarily sing it. Certain things should be sacred for our community. This song is near and dear to us. Hearing a white kid sing this without the trauma as to why it exists just seems cringy.
this really speaks to what is going on in the world right now. the beauty of the lyrics, the pain and anger of the dancers choreography, the violinists, and everything just makes you feel every emotion, but leaves you with hope. justice for gerorge floyd.
Needed to play this all day today, no matter what I am doing this will be on repeat until justice is served and polices change. Love and hope from Seattle. Black lives Matter
eve by the cameras from one of the policeman was proven that Mr. Floyd was resisting the arrest during his cocaine intoxication, then began screaming “I cannot breathe” even before the policeman stood his knee of his neck... I am not justifying the actions of the officer killed that guy, but from that moment we see, that movement for George Floyd (I am not about the fighting for the human rights in our big world) had lost after showing the media some FACTS!!! His family had risen more than €1000000 and now it’s senseless, because of new evidences shown for everyone
1st of all as a kid that was my favorite song. Star spangled banner was always dry😂 Hearing this song as an adult makes me cry cas our ancestors fought so hard, yet we are still not free in so many ways. I promised myself I will never stop fighting regardless of what because black lives are worth fighting for 💕 and thats on Caresha!
@THOMAϟ ϟCAR ꖦ卐ᛋᛋ the God u worship is black, relax. Your ppl have been insecure since forever because God created us 1st. Yall haters and I'm hi key flatterd when I see comments like urs cas it shows ur obsession with us and u hate to see us confident lol. Too bad we'll continue to be the most copied culture and target of jealousy. We bring style and class to this world. Keep praying. Maybe one day ur ppl will have self esteem beyond ecalades.
@THOMAϟ ϟCAR ꖦ卐ᛋᛋ 😂😂😂 u should be a comedian. I could swifty reference u to scripture that says otherwise but its clear I've been talking to brick wall of ignorance and there'd be no use. Some ppl like to remain idiots since the truth hurts they defend lies. Good riddance clear person
The country is already divided and has been since the start 😂 and whites already have a national anthem..the current one. Francis Scott Key’s original poem did have racists elements in it....It’s a quick google search guys.
@@user-kf7no9vb2k it's TRUE the racist parts of the national anthem are not sung but the fact is that they were there. Look it up. Dont be blind. That saying can we just agree on a new anthem? Dont like 2 anthems for one country.
I remember learning and singing this song in school, during music class.. and to this day, I still remember it. School just isn't the same anymore... these kids don't learn ANYTHING
Lift every voice and sing (Ah) 'Til Earth and Heaven ring (Ah) Ring with the harmony of liberty Let our rejoicing rise (Ah) High as the listening skies (Ah) Let us march on 'til victory is won
And Bahamian descent. He was born in the US, so alot of his experience come from that. i.e Attending an HBCU and his membership in Pi Beta Sigma. And of beging a black man in a American less than 60years after slavery.Even though the song was made the "Negro National Anthem", many people of the African diaspora have contributed to our progression to freedom. Great Discussion😘
Watching this today, January 16, 2023 on Dr. MLK, Jr day, thank you Sir for all you did so that we could survive & thrive, the journey continues... ☯️☮💜🕊🕊
