Having Syleena Johnson on the song that her father made iconic... GENIUS.

She can sing, but seeing her on Fox Soul makes me lose respect for her.

THIS IS POWERFUL..WOW!!! Wit Sandra speaking out first. Awesome, Deep, Timely!!! TRUTH!!! ... Yes it's because you are Black and believe it or not, it's because we are Isreal...The Children Of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Look at what scriptures say in " Song of Solomon: 5I am dark yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon. 6Do not stare because I am dark, for the sun has gazed upon me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have neglected.…"

Powerfully done. I'd like to tie Trump to a chair and make him listen over and over! How sad can it be that we've a racist president now after all our country has been through to free us from the horrible, immoral blight of slavery and the suffering that has come from it down through 400 years of sorrows. This is powerful singing and a soulful video. Powerful like African American spirituals and gospel and rock music.
