If you asked me a year ago if this song was ever going to be released or even given a chance, I probably would have said no. Yet here we are. What a blessing it is to be here in this moment. I hope you guys enjoy this lyric video for a song that came from the very depths of my heart. Love you guys. Thank you so so much for your continued love and support for this song.
You've revived my interest in County music. I've always liked it, but now I'm actively playing, listening to.and enjoying it. You're beautiful inside and out, and your strength makes you even more so. ❣️👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼👍🏻👍
I may not be black however being a person who has struggled constantly to fit in due to learning and social differences. This song is very relatable. It often seems like so many people are on easy street where life is perfect. Not many people take the time to think about others struggles. Whether it be skin or other differences. We need to do better bec things we say matter the actions we do matter one little thing can change someone's life for the better or for the worse. How I wish we could change things and make it better overnight.
I have never been a fan of country music, not even close, to the point of hating it. But every once in a while, a CM song will land in my youtube feed that I actually like. This is one of those songs.
Have country music fans at my place of work that play our local stations... funny I have never heard this song till I saw it on the Grammys. THANK YOU so much young lady, I can not tell you how proud of you, and this song, I am
Your music means so much to me! Your music just keeps getting this song is so cute! I love it Chris, your doing country proud!! Your number one fan!! Love ya Chris, keep doing what you do your amazing! Fan for life, Marti
Is anyone else here because of the Grammys? Social media shows us everything, bit the music industry is losing audiences because radio stations were the ones that promoted these new songs. Now I only find out when award shows are on. This is a good song
I saw your performance on the parade, amazing, headed over to YT to find out who you were and I am falling in love with this song. Mickey, it is so relatable! You did us all such a favor sharing your heart. Thank you and continued success!
Glad found this song. I first listened it on CBC radio Q in Toronto while I was driving. Touched by the lyrics, very powerful! Thanks for having it released.
I heard it for the 1st time today on the Today Show. I Love it. I will be listening to more of your music. This so is Right on time, I'm Black like you. God Bless you & yours & Stay Prayed up for Protection
Absolutely love your voice, your music, and your message! So happy I learned about you today in the Washington Post! ❤️❤️❤️ Keep telling your truth. People ARE listening! ❤️❤️❤️
As a Afro-American I am proud of America for even considering the thought of her singing this true to heart song to a predominantly white crowd...we all gods children!!!!
This is indeed a song from the heart.Thank you .It's not easy to live in a world that makes us feel as if we don't belong here but we shall overcome.I'm black and proud.
As a white guy, I can’t relate to this song, because I’ve never been treated differently due to my skin color. However I can be/am a supporter of the black community and I hope the day comes soon that we ALL are treated equally. This song itself is amazing! I hope it really does well and gets the message across.
The Man585....... I’m a 60 year old Black man......and you just became my favorite person I’ve never met. I truly appreciate your honesty and thoughtfulness.....I have tears in my eyes.......as a married father with two college age daughters......you just gave me more hope than any word from any leaders mouth........love you man....God Bless
As a white guy...this song brings me to tears. I don't experience prejudice but I believe when I hear about, and see it. Too many people are dismissive...won't even admit racism exists. It breaks my heart.
Man you guys got me tearing up again . I’m with you Alex. Our country and our world should be such a beautiful place. Let’s all work to change it one person one day at a time. Maya you down ?
I just want to let ALL of my BLACK BROTHER and SISTERS know y’all have my love I will always have y’all back it’s despicable to me that my family has fought to keep this country free but my BROTHERS and SISTERS are still looked at as less than y’all are more than enough just how you are to me and many others keep reaching for the stars and trying to make your dreams come true much love to all of you I wish you nothing but love happiness and the success you all deserve From a brother who has nothing but love for all of you y’all always got me I’ll do whatever to fight for the peace love and justice y’all deserve
There is nothing more beautiful and powerful than unity especially unity despite our strong differences. The world is so bad rn it’s hard to see the good in ppl. But there will always be some goodness in the world even when evil seems to be dominating. You are a beautiful human being who chooses to love instead of hate and may God protect u from evil that some have welcomed so easily into their hearts.
@@minamuse3965 I choose to live how I want to be treated with dignity and respect which I know is all my brothers and sisters want some of the greatest people in my life are black I grew up in South Georgia in a very poor family so I know what it’s like to struggle for things but to see someone denied basic things in life just because the color of their skin when I know I come from the same path as my brothers and sister but I am afforded those opportunities because I am white I have a huge problem with that I just want you and everyone else who sees this comment to know not all white people want to see y’all struggle I want y’all to have everything you could ever dream of may God continue to bless your life or may he have blessings coming your way you are beautiful just the way you are you don’t need to change for anyone or anything
Landon Elias God bless you brother you brought tears to my eyes. I’m African, Somali to be exact. I’m blessed to have not experience the same level of hate, discrimination and injustice that black American ppl have experienced throughout history. Honestly it breaks my heart to have to imagine how alone they must feel constantly having to tell themselves that they matter and that the hatred the world has towards their skin is not a fault of their own. Ngl I too am privileged to an extent even though my ppl still face racism for pretty much the same reasons but not to the same extent. I want to see humanity prosper, form unity and respect one another because we are all humans at the end of the day. You brother have been raised right, you found a place in your heart to care, appreciate and respect a fellow human being because u don’t judge based on colour. You use your brain the way we’re suppose to, not to fill our minds with fear and irrational hatred. You get what you give, you have mercy and love for others and I pray you get that and much more in return.
@@minamuse3965 yes one can only hope and dream for unity and prosperity for all of mankind I honestly long for the day we are all looked at as the same I honestly do believe certain groups keep the races fighting because they don’t want us to join together and achieve unity and prosperity because they know they wouldn’t be able to control us and keep us down the world will be a much better place once everyone is treated equally and looked at the same
As a white girl I grew up being the only white family in a 3 block radius and I have always identified more like this them with my own family and own kind this is my home and I love all of you and appreciate everything about you I Love you have a great day
@@wildlifewarrior89 I most definitely understand that I will never fully understand but I am listening learning and educating myself others and my children to respect you and your ancestors as a whole. Much love and a happy new year to you
@@shannonzimmerman1555 why don't you bow down to all the black racist on here. You know it goes both ways and you are playing into what they want you to believe. How pitiful and oppressed, suppressed, compressed, and depressed these people are. It's a shame. You need to listen to Candice Owen's. That is a woman of color that has her shit together that will never blame the white person for her faults.
As a 12 year old girl I am proud to be black. My ancestors ran so we could walk. They fought so we could live. The world is changing and people need to accept that everything on this world is meant to be here. We are going to stand up for what's right. And we're gonna get equality no matter what it takes. #BlackLivesMatter isn't a trend it's something that will matter for ever. Are voices are going to be heard. We are going to live. We are going to make our ancestors proud.
Yes,Babygirl continue to be proud of who you are. YOU are truly BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING AND A QUEEN!! The ones who can't see or understand that are the ones missing out! #MY BLACKISBEAUTIFUL‼‼‼‼💋💋💋💋❤❤❤
My dad as well. It's my whole life. Even though I made it I really haven't because I have to fight even harder to maintain my life and prove what I Kno when I deserve my job. But I'm black so I have to fight every day for my job. Always someone think you don't deserve it even with my degree on the wall.
Thank you for your transparency because it express my thoughts for the past 45 years. Like Esther this song is "for a time such as this." There is purpose and destiny is its release. Sending hugs
When I first heard this song and found a few of her other songs I found that they took me back to growing up here in NC in the 60’s. My mom and dad worked hard to raise 4 boys neither made more than 8.00 hour till they retired / her line about her dad working hard for a house and a used car - ours was a 4 room house and a Rambler Rebel! Everyone here worked hard together and tried to give us a good life (yes we saw the ugly of that time ) But living in our Lexington we are all one family and work to raise each other up! Her words have Life here!
Wow....gut wrenching sobbing. My 56 year old self has always been proud. James Brown told my generation to "Say it loud: I'm Black and I'm Proud!" But as an educator, who has always worked for my poorest brothers and sisters so that they would have a choice to live in any neighborhood they choose....this song hit me hard. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Addind this Beautiful! Powerful! Positive! Song to our MLK and Black History Programs. I Let my 8 and 9 year old grandkids and their friends listen to it to see their reaction and they Loved it. God Bless! Thank You Wonderful Uplifting Song! One Love Much Respect!
First, much respect for having the courage to even speak on something that has been swept under the carpet since the very 'rise' of country music! A form of music that incorporates the music of the early blues (BLACK FOLKS). DO YA'LL REALLY BELIEVE THAT SO CALLED COUNTRY MUSIC STARTED W/ THE EARLY WHITE COWBOYS...LOL?!!! If you believe that I have some desert land I'd like to sell you 10 miles above the earth. For decades now EVEN SO CALLED 'COUNTRY' folks don't even want to do 'country' line dancing w/out adding spice to it through more 'hip hop' & Black inspired dance movement being incorporated into it...lol! FACTS! And yet, these same folks have the audacity to not want to accept the very folks that they (not always...but more often than we realize) imitate! Anyone w/ a functional I.Q. KNOWS that the 'country music' industry is full of White folks who are culturally unaware of the b.s. that Black folks in the industry hafta go through just to get your foot in the door. I'm not in the industry. But I also know that you don't hafta step in a pile of dog poop to know that you don't want it on your shoes!! All white folks *obviously* are not racists (for you "He's a black guy saying racists stuff about White folks." types/ a.k.a. "Gotcha'" culture). As evidenced by the Abolitionist movement, white participants in the BLM, and countless more examples throughout our history as a Nation. Most White folks are decent, compassionate and loving folks. Who are non racist. Thank God! However, there are millions upon millions (country music industry is but a microcosm of our society) of White folks who are culturally insensitive to other ethnic values IN THIS COUNTRY to the point that the blatant disrespect is oblivious to them. This doesn't make them racist...it makes them culturally insensitive. There is a difference. One is fueled by malicious intent (racism). The other is unintended. But guess what...the result is the same...DISRESPECT! Example: How is it that we hafta STILL have slave owners on our currency in this day and age? Blatant disrespect to the descendants of slaves. Yet, Harriet Tubman on a $20 was not accepted...smh. And that's just one of over 50 examples that I can give. But as far as I can tell (1) most of the White folks who aren't racist have a high tolerance for it when they get around racists! Could it be because these racist LOOK like them, share (culturally) values? Could it be because a lot of these 'non racist' Whites often have parents, grandparents, siblings & very close loved one's who ARE racist? Which causes a conflict from w/in them? How do you convince someone to confront/correct the very folks who are a major part of their lives? In some cases, raised and nurtured them since birth? But I digress w/ my diatribe. Mickey, your song Black Like Me is underrated. And in an industry where (I'm almost certain of it) even the well intentioned & decent hearted White country celebs were psychologically uncom4table hearing it, you held true to YOUR message. *Some of us have experiences BEYOND drinking beer, going mudding in a 'souped up' monster truck, tractors & lecturing about patriotism. Nothing wrong w/ any of the aforementioned. Just showing how millions of so called 'Country' folks actually believe that THEY alone are the standard by which the word 'Patriot' & 'American' are to be measured! Which is 100% B.S. Guess what 'Country' folks...MICKEY GUYTON (and literally millions who look like her) ARE AMERICAN!!! Your discomfort w/ it doesn't change it. In the REAL WORLD country and 'southern' doesn't mean 'White'. But you'd be surprised at the millions of folks who've been programmed since childhood to believe just that...lol. I remember meeting Charley Pride at a Dallas Mavericks game about 6 yrs ago. I asked him how he managed to mentally deal w/ the 'haters' in the country music industry. He knew exactly what I was referring to. I won't betray his privacy. But let's just say that back then in country music a Black Artist had to be willing to NOT touch upon (through song) anything that they may have experienced/endured in order to be accepted. In other words, keep your peers com4table & you'll be fine...smh. 'Country' artists like Morgan Wallen are more plentiful than we'd like to acknowledge (White, arrogant & racist). But the good news is that the decent White folks who actually ARE secure in themselves (non racist) outnumber the one's who are not...lol. I just hope that this is the case in country music. Just my views...it is what it is. All hail the decent humans in the country music industry (like Dolly Parton) who don't care about a person's skin color.

I saw MG on TV this morning. I'm so proud of her! Me at 65 I sometimes feel I'm becoming invisible. Proud to be ,"Black Like Me"...and grey!
Its about time she receives awards and recognition for her works. Class act!
I've never been touched by a song like this. Beautifully written, and nailed by the sweetest vocal
My favorite country singer of all times

I love her and her music. This one is my favorite 🥰
That second section of her song talk about her dad... that was my dad as well. Thank you for this song.
I loved that part also! There are so many stereotypes surrounding black dads and I hate it!
That's all of our dads.... don't think it's just black people that struggled.
My dad as well. It's my whole life. Even though I made it I really haven't because I have to fight even harder to maintain my life and prove what I Kno when I deserve my job.

Great song and so true.

The greatest song of this decade so far. I play it for everyone and and I preface the song with the knowledge, she only singing to black people.
She is not only singing to black people. Sorry my thoughts come faster than my right arm can type.
Here from tiktok n I'm in love with this song❤❤💯💯🔥🔥

Addind this Beautiful! Powerful! Positive! Song to our MLK and Black History Programs. I Let my 8 and 9 year old grandkids and their friends listen to it to see their reaction and they Loved it. God Bless! Thank You Wonderful Uplifting Song! One Love Much Respect!
Totally amazing 🤩
I love this song and it’s message! I also love your beautiful voice!
First, much respect for having the courage to even speak on something that has been swept under the carpet since the very 'rise' of country music! A form of music that incorporates the music of the early blues (BLACK FOLKS). DO YA'LL REALLY BELIEVE THAT SO CALLED COUNTRY MUSIC STARTED W/ THE EARLY WHITE COWBOYS...LOL?!!! If you believe that I have some desert land I'd like to sell you 10 miles above the earth. For decades now EVEN SO CALLED 'COUNTRY' folks don't even want to do 'country' line dancing w/out adding spice to it through more 'hip hop' & Black inspired dance movement being incorporated into it...lol! FACTS! And yet, these same folks have the audacity to not want to accept the very folks that they (not always...but more often than we realize) imitate! Anyone w/ a functional I.Q. KNOWS that the 'country music' industry is full of White folks who are culturally unaware of the b.s. that Black folks in the industry hafta go through just to get your foot in the door. I'm not in the industry. But I also know that you don't hafta step in a pile of dog poop to know that you don't want it on your shoes!! All white folks *obviously* are not racists (for you "He's a black guy saying racists stuff about White folks." types/ a.k.a. "Gotcha'" culture). As evidenced by the Abolitionist movement, white participants in the BLM, and countless more examples throughout our history as a Nation. Most White folks are decent, compassionate and loving folks. Who are non racist. Thank God! However, there are millions upon millions (country music industry is but a microcosm of our society) of White folks who are culturally insensitive to other ethnic values IN THIS COUNTRY to the point that the blatant disrespect is oblivious to them. This doesn't make them racist...it makes them culturally insensitive. There is a difference. One is fueled by malicious intent (racism). The other is unintended. But guess what...the result is the same...DISRESPECT! Example: How is it that we hafta STILL have slave owners on our currency in this day and age? Blatant disrespect to the descendants of slaves. Yet, Harriet Tubman on a $20 was not accepted...smh. And that's just one of over 50 examples that I can give. But as far as I can tell (1) most of the White folks who aren't racist have a high tolerance for it when they get around racists! Could it be because these racist LOOK like them, share (culturally) values? Could it be because a lot of these 'non racist' Whites often have parents, grandparents, siblings & very close loved one's who ARE racist? Which causes a conflict from w/in them? How do you convince someone to confront/correct the very folks who are a major part of their lives? In some cases, raised and nurtured them since birth? But I digress w/ my diatribe. Mickey, your song Black Like Me is underrated. And in an industry where (I'm almost certain of it) even the well intentioned & decent hearted White country celebs were psychologically uncom4table hearing it, you held true to YOUR message. *Some of us have experiences BEYOND drinking beer, going mudding in a 'souped up' monster truck, tractors & lecturing about patriotism. Nothing wrong w/ any of the aforementioned. Just showing how millions of so called 'Country' folks actually believe that THEY alone are the standard by which the word 'Patriot' & 'American' are to be measured! Which is 100% B.S. Guess what 'Country' folks...MICKEY GUYTON (and literally millions who look like her) ARE AMERICAN!!! Your discomfort w/ it doesn't change it. In the REAL WORLD country and 'southern' doesn't mean 'White'. But you'd be surprised at the millions of folks who've been programmed since childhood to believe just that...lol. I remember meeting Charley Pride at a Dallas Mavericks game about 6 yrs ago. I asked him how he managed to mentally deal w/ the 'haters' in the country music industry. He knew exactly what I was referring to. I won't betray his privacy. But let's just say that back then in country music a Black Artist had to be willing to NOT touch upon (through song) anything that they may have experienced/endured in order to be accepted. In other words, keep your peers com4table & you'll be fine...smh. 'Country' artists like Morgan Wallen are more plentiful than we'd like to acknowledge (White, arrogant & racist). But the good news is that the decent White folks who actually ARE secure in themselves (non racist) outnumber the one's who are not...lol. I just hope that this is the case in country music. Just my views...it is what it is. All hail the decent humans in the country music industry (like Dolly Parton) who don't care about a person's skin color.
Beautiful love this
What a Great Song, Great Melody, Great Message, Great Vocal, I'm Proud to Be Black!
