Did she do something to hurt you? Be honest and see if everyone agrees with her. See if you can get all Cynthia fans to agree with you. Oh right we're all idiots for being a fan of hers.

A meaningful song with so much power, intensity, and deep emotion. it’s a wonderful tribute to Harriet Tubman as well. She was a true African-American hero and this song gives her so much justice. Cynthia did a phenomenal job performing it at the Academy Awards, and I really wish the Academy had made a better decision. Regardless, “Stand Up” will always be the winner for me! 🏆

Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on I can feel it in my bones … Early in the mornin' Before the sun begins to shine We're gonna start movin' Towards that separating line I'm wadin' through muddy waters You know I got a made up mind And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die … So I'm gonna stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river Can you hear freedom calling? Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on … And I know what's around the bend Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone And I just might fail But Lord knows I tried Sure as stars fill up the sky … Stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river Can you hear freedom calling? Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on … I'm gonna stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river Do you hear freedom calling? Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on … I'm gonna stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river I hear freedom calling Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on I can feel it in my bones … I go to prepare a place for you I go to prepare a place for you I go to prepare a place for you I go to prepare a place for you

The song shouldnt be used for other bad situations, though. It takes away the actual meaning of the song which is about black people being used as slaves before, so if a female on tiktok uses this sound behind her talking about s*xual assault it isn't right cause viewers won't focus on the meaning of the sound she's using. But I'm not saying the s*xual assault thing isn't important. :)

I was mostly the first one to just sit and wait in the parking lot (for the campus to open) studying! and I made it y’all! I passed my first semester!!! “You know I got a made up mind And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die.” My home was literally hit with an E3-E4 tornado while I was in it.

I am so so sorry if you are a POC and have ever had to deal with racsism, your skin color does not define you as a human being or makes you any less of a person. Youre beautiful, youre brave, and youre sure as hell stronger than anyone i have ever met. To all my fellow white people or anyone who needs to hear this, we can help be part of the change, we can help them gain teh justice they oh so deeply deserve. We can help. Nothing will ever be able to fix all the damage thats already been done, but we can help with future damage.
