No cynicism on this one kid. For one to be moved by music is the idea actually. I kind of catharsis.

This is a song, sung by a most amazing talent, trying desperately to educate. She was a most amazing gift. Ahead of her time. Snuffed out like so many American talents...musical, political, democratic...so amazing that this commentary is so passionate even now, that her music still raises this passion...not all is lost in america after all! Way to go Billie! Your life was cut short, but your words are still raising voices...you didn't die in vain.

um obviously not, it was still seen though, any mixed/mulatto child was ostracized- it goes hand in hand. But thats not even what I was referring to, so someone needs to cool their jets. My comment was placed in the wrong place, it was actually in response to a comment made a while ago- I even mentioned that on a new comment..wow

what the hell is everyone arguing about, this lady is singing a song about men getting hung from trees whatever race you are imagine if one of those men were your brother or dad or son get over your stupid opinions about race we are all in the same space and half of you if not all of you will never say the things you say behind your screen name in person so shut the hell up and listen to the lady sing or watch another video
