      Lemme reword my comment. I agree with everyone who replied and you, we may not me black, but we support anyone who is. I myself have a lot of black friends, and I accept them, to quote MLK (RIP), not by the color or their skin, but by the content of their character.

    I can’t believe this song didn’t win the Best Original Song award at the Oscars. It tells such a powerful _true story_ of enslaved people on their journey to freedom. 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! 🏆

      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. :)

When I listen to this song I think about us having dealt with the ills of this world and Jesus sacrificing himself and preparing a place for us. A place where there is true freedom from all of life’s pain. Thank you Jesus.
