    As a black artist who sees this video for what it is, thank you. There's no hate strong enough to drown out the love I have for this video you put together! People who never try to understand won't get this because they're ignorant and they're stuck in a world that only they understand. But I will say we understand you. Stay safe! And thank you for this video. It truly made me happy!

    Your song made me cry tonight. It should be a number one hit. I've already posted it on my FB and added it to my Spotify list. You most definitly have my idol vote and I can't wait to hear more of your songs. We need them in these dark days. Maybe they will help people listen.

    Proud to be among the first 1K subscribers. I am not a singer, but I write songs mostly about the things going on in my mind. I am confident this song is going to have a greatly positive impact in many ways. And the way the music guides the listener through the message was equally amazing. Thank you, Taylor!

    I'm an Australian Aboriginal (first nation people, original custodians of "Australia") and hate crimes against my mob are still alive and well to this day. So many of my people die in custody, are falsely imprisoned, harassed, abused, murdered, and treated like sewage scum.
    Your song, hit my soul and shook it to its core. I've showed everyone I know, cried, got angry, drained, and motivated. To share this story that happens to so many people in this world. You are a true story teller. Thank you. You have a ride or die sister in me.

    WOW! To Taylor Fagins. Powerful and I agree with all 3 judges. Keep working on putting your feelings down to influence the rest of society but most importantly spread the word that education is most important. Without it no matter how talented you are you will never reach your full potential unless you have the education to back it up. Many talented people fail to understand that part. If you have the education you will have the knowledge to protect yourself from the dishonesty you will become exposed to in your career. With education you will protect your finances and secure a future for yourself and loved ones. With education you will learn to choose wisely. With education you can go very far not just be a one hit wonder. Good luck to you, may the Lord guide & protect you. 💖🙏✌ 🍀
