@DisneyClassicsFan how dare you say that... that's such a stereo type... I'm only a quarter black but for some reason i find that offensive... even though it's not a bad stereotype... but anyway.. not that i needed to say anything... haha i have plenty of black friends who can't sing for shiz!
Queen Latifah always touches my heart with her movies and when I watched hairspray and heard her sing this song, I had no words to explain the power her voice and lyrics had on me. TO me it seems like she is a perfect and wiser mother figure than anyone I know of. She warms my heart <3
I really like this song, and she sings it beautifully, but my high school is performing Hairspray as our musical this year, and the girl we have playing Motormouth Maybelle does a better job.
can you believe that queen latifah was able to do that i heard this month was black history. that was amazing unbelieveable fantastick and so was her acting
Rockinbabyg In all honesty it does matter where you have been, it is your history that shapes you in to the person you are today, lets not forget this isnt about one person, its about a whole race!!! You have to know your history to prepare you for your future!!!
hey guys! I just sung this song Friday night at my school's talent show. I won 3rd place...some said I should have been first but I'm happy. The vid of the performance is on my page. check it out please!
i luuuuv this song, my chorus class were singing hairspray and this song was by far the nicest...deepest...and overall bet i luv it...i got the cd with queen latifa and dis song! :P
omgosh! ii love this song! racist people should just get a life tbh because theres absoltuly nothing wrong with black people,, ii have soooooo many friends that are and there no different so why should people think they are?
ummm....hello? the movie was set in the early 60's its supposed to show how racist ppl were and how some ppl (like tracy) ignored color and stood for what was right...erg...watch the movie w/o the blind fold plz.
I'm halfblack half indian and I've heard kids at my school call me a 'nigger', I cried for days, like I've heard of racisim, and I've had friends who have been subjected to rasicim, but to have that spat in your face, it isn't right, and it just makes you feel like your not worthy to be infront of themcuz their white, I never told anybody but my friends that happened
you are worthy!theres some ppl who are like me,white and accepts other ppl!but theres some whites who are just bitches and cant handle it!have you heard of The Jena Six?its wrong how whites do that,and i swear to god i have never,and will never be racist!bcause it hurts ppl and idky ppl hate other culuters!i love meeting ppl who come from different places because then i would want to learn more about their history and their religon!its cool because its somthing different then what im used to!
heey u shouldn't listen to those ppl, they're just full of crap... at least u got culture! i mean being half indian woow!! no offense but sadly americans have no culture, u should be proud of what u are, i'd love to have indian blood in my veins, they're fascinanting!
lol, thank you, my mother is indian and my mother's family was really religious, so she was supposed to be arraged to be married to this dude, but then my grandfather called off the wedding, because they came to canada and then my mom met my dad, its sorta like a movie if you think about it, but its really cool. But the dude is a family friend now, its a little creepy that he may of been my father, yea, a little akward at family and friend get togethers, lol
lol, yea, I acually got my other two friends Jackson and Dave and beat the shit out of the kids after soon, one kid got a MAJOR shining the next day, but they didn;t tell anyone aoubt what we did, it was pretty bad to do, but they deserved it! The little rasist pricks
one of the bitches, Candy,I know right, hoe name,she acually said and I quote, "why do we even have these niggers in this school!" I KNOW RIGHT! Cuz I swear, their is only like maybe 7 blacks in the intire school, I mean theirs mexicans and like everything else, but when that bitch said that, OH! Everyone flipped on her, it was crazy! She trued to play it off like she didn't say anything wrong, but NO ONE talked to her for the rest of the day, and I SO beat the shit out of her.
that little basterd needs to watch what she says!thats like my school!i mean theres more blacks but some i have classes with are like my best friends!and if anyone called them a nigger they would beat the shit out of them too!
i cant stand it that people can dis the colour of peoples skins, their background, sexuality. im not religious but every1 woz made dat way (well dats wot i think!)
i watched a film the other day and there is a quote im gonna "borrow" from it!!
"If God Didnt Love Me Then Why Did He Make Me This Way?"
people always make fun of me becuase i'm 'different' and i'd never think of becoming racist, we're all equals and shouldn't let someone tell us we're not!!
This song is so powerful it makes me cry.People should be treating other races with rescpect like you would with a white person. Example tv back then use to be BLACK AND WHITE! And now today it is COLORED! Just like our world is and because of people who judge people for what there color looks like then well I want them to burn in hell. Cause it isn't right. UNITY People We can Fight Against Racism And Bring Justice To the WORLD! If your with me Plz Comment or rate. Thank you
i totally agree with you. I am Bahamian and i cant stand this whole racism flick.I cant stand to hear a black preson talk about a white person because of their skin neither can I with a white person talking about a black person because of their skin. Its just not right and its stupid.
this is my favorite part in the movie it's so sad and makes me cry the whole time i can't beleive that people would actually think it's cool to enslave people just because they're skin is different
well i saw it a couple times because it was so good. then i found out my modeling manager was one of the back up dancers. then all my friends dragged me into it :]
<3 this song! so amazing... so touching... so true...
