Jill Scott revealed wrote this version when she was 19 years old, now making it a 32-year-old song. When you listen, listen with your heart and your inner ear. Let go of unconsciousness.
@@littlestflyable Yes. Jill Scotts rendition was epic just like Jimmy Hendrix. The truth only hurts the ancestors of the founding fathers and the colonist. My ancestors where still in chains at that time.
@@perrykeshahwalker5321 You never were. Just like my family never owned slaves. Only those still butt hurt over the past think this is okay. What about the thousands of blacks, Indians, and others who died for YOUR freedom.
THANK YOU! Madam Jill Scott❤ 😢 I so appreciate YOU! I know our ForeFamily would have appreciated you for using your voice to tell the truth for all to hear. I salute you my dear Sistah!
$12 million dollar Scott sound pure ignorant. She sits in a mansion in a gated White community in the suburbs, and try to act like she lives in the hood. All you hood rats support Scott's fake and foolish non sense. Scott bad mouth USA, but she will never leave this country.
@@ralphjackson8295 the child slavery is still going on today - it’s absolutely massive and so horrendous I would love people to come together to try to stop something that we can if we all work together It breaks my heart that these little ones become forgotten yet they suffer in hell right now
Perhaps those young ones who are reeking havoc on our people will hear her voice as she sings this song out loud will understand her words that strike deeply within the ancient souls of the people and stop the madness. Minds eyes wide open!
I love it! I've always respected jill scott for not conforming to their way. I respect her even more now! The ancestors spoke through her in this song. Never forget❤❤❤
I’m a former serviceman and this just brought tears to my eyes. As much as we, the descendants of slaves, love this country……we know every word she sung is true! 😢🫡
We need to stop loving the land of our captivity. I hate it here. But due to racism, I lost my financial way to get out of this country due to sabotage and stalking campaigns from my former employer.
@euclidfreeman African leaders who were working with Europeans sold and traded slaves along with the Jewish elite who financed the slave trade. It was a joint collaboration against the "black" Jews or bloodline descendants of Israel. From Babylon To Timbuktu by Rudolph R Windsor ‘In the year 65 B.C. the Roman armies under General Pompey captured Jerusalem. In 70 A.D. General Vespasian and his son, Titus put an end to the Jewish state, with great slaughter. During the period of the military governors of Palestine, many outrages and atrocities were committed against the residue of the people. During the period of Pompey to Julius, *it has been estimated that over 1,000,000 Jews fled into Africa,* fleeing from Roman persecution and slavery. *The slave markets were full of black Jew slaves.’*
Thank you for Singing our truth. To my the ancestors iam so sorry that you had to go through that and to any black african people that's still going through this crazy shit now. God bless our soul, for we are the the true original people. It's time we take our place. Stand up black people.
I love the last part, the home of the slaves, our ancestors build this country and we're not even welcome. They tell us to go back to Africa, how can you go back somewhere you never been.
@@mikehawkk6120 you need to too colonizer, remember blacks and whites don’t belong here, we’ll go back to Africa, only if you with your wicked spirit colonizers, go back to Europe and leave these poor natives alone. Now I know why they live among themselves on reservations , because whites speck with fork tongue and breaks treaties to this very day
And there we have it! No Shade, No Hate Just The Truth and we're here for it. Thanks for your courage, " We" Think it and feel it and experience it everyday!
What they don't understand she's talkin about people's of color as a whole everybody want to talk about what she got in what she don't got every person of color understands every word she is saying and we don't give a damn what they think anymore.. I support her 100% and she's going to be all right... Mad respect Queen greatly appreciated you SISTER... 🖤 🖤 🖤...
Last hundred murders I've heard of weren't by whites though. Hopefully some of you get exactly what you're looking for. Never experienced slavery. Lol. You've experienced a free ride. You can leave instead of murdering each other for weed , money and cars.
This song is so true please just check out your Parents, Birth Certificate, or anyone that's over the age of 55. It does matter and they are Chang in history. And that song is so true. Look how God ya used her at 19. Just look To speak the truth to us. Those who are dry bones and loshe's a woke child. She understands the words that's written, and that's missing out of the Bible. On my birth certificate. Born in 1965 , it says color.My mother say Negro They just want us to believe that we are us free. Indee, we must come back together. As people like our ancestors did, we do not have to like each other, but we as people must come together, you Miss Jill Scott.
Jill Scott's rendition of the Star "Spangled Banner" is similar to Billie Holiday's recording of "Strange Fruit" in 1939. Nina Simone also recorded her own rendition of "Strange Fruit" in 1965. The lyrics are also eerily chilling pertaining to what happened to "People of Color" here in America still today. Not much has changed. 😢
@@djdrizzy9139 this was her view of what the black anthem of our American lives, just as the song called STRANGE FRUIT " The American anthem is for the foreigners who came here ,stole, killed & destroyed&came up on the backs of the copper-colored people who were already here the original land owners of USA . Just as MLK last speech depicted about us, the original people of America the copper-coloreds . So Jill Scott sang the truth. Their anthem is not our Anthem, period! BTW I only said the ancestors came through because how spiritually powerful her voice was and how true the words are.
I love Jill Scott.....version of the national anthem. Heck with the blood from gun violence....the book bans in numerous states....and the young aa being shot....or a George Floyd arrest....truth is the truth..
Those who praise this song seemed to have forgotten how Brittney Griner changed her views on American after being locked up in a Russian prison. And she now stands for the Real National Anthem. This is the of the free.
@JohnnyK68 Your lack of attraction and understanding of this song makes perfect sense. We, who are moved by the song, are not simply listening and intellectualizing. We, who are moved, have within our DNA a strong connection with intuition and our innate nature. Being “moved” and recognizing the voices of our ancestors requires the experience of feeling. Feeling from a place deep within the bones. That depth of feeling is naturally experienced through melanated people.
Wow! Amazing how she escaped slavery and was able to go on to have a net worth of $14 million. I never heard of her before; did she escape to another country where she was able to make that much money? Incredible!
Because you feel nothing, doesn't matter if she's a millionaire, she feels for her people's, you Whites always think money can save the day, money is your GOD.
Embarrassing…black and minority’s folks have thrived in the US.Please go to another country and attempt to thrive and let me know… So sick of this victimization
