      Kilian Ramirez Gonzalez you’re talking about staging events for a false narrative. That’s the kind of propaganda tools the Nazis used.

      Kilian Ramirez Gonzalez Don’t talk to me about discrimination, I’m a Fenian in Northern Ireland. My people were second class citizens for 800 years. Stop blaming the system, it’s a lazy excuse for personal shortcomings.

    For all the parents who never thought their child was good enough....they were...will and always will be. To the children out there who have been told they are not good enough...you are. and will always be. To those adults like me for years who always tried to be good enough yet always felt like they came up short in pleasing their parents only to realize they were good enough all along. YOU. ARE. ENOUGH.

    • @michaelstone7381
      @michaelstone7381 8 лет назад +118

    • @Selflovematters4life
      @Selflovematters4life 8 лет назад +62

      I'm glad that you found comfort in those words. You are very welcome. My painful relationship is almost at the end so when I tell you I understand...believe me I understand! I had to realize I was good enough...and more than enough. That I was settling for less than I deserved...all stemming from those years as a kid who felt the need to "find a way to get someone to love me". We are loved because because we exist not for what we do.

    Man, Taraji is such an amazing actress. The raw emotion that comes across in her acting is just awesome. That scene when she flew out of the house to stop him from putting the kid in the trash, and then when she looks at him and says, "I wish you would." That shit felt so real, like you believed that kid was really hers.

Can feel the pain, hurt, suffering and struggling emotions of disappointment in every word he pushes out. Love his voice. Truly have a blessing in a soulful and heart felt harmony. And still rock out to this song and made to love you!!! My favs!!! Thanks Jussie for the moving and truly inspirational music. Keep’em coming.

      That is such a biased statement to even imply that a woman loves her child more than a father is absurd you women think that because you carry a child and give birth to it that you have a deeper connection to that child than the father this is a perfect example at how biased society has become attributing only good things to women while men are degraded by being labeled the plague that's destroying the world I think that if it takes two to produce a child then it takes two to provide that child with the love that he or she fully deserves

    Good Enough"
    (feat. Jussie Smollett)
    I gave you all of me
    But it still ain't enough to make you happy
    I gave you everything
    It still don't measure up
    It feels like I walked five thousand miles
    And didn't even come close
    Feels like I try to make you smile
    But you don't even care, no
    I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
    But I keep trying
    And you just keep making me jump through hoops
    What do I got to do?
    I just want you to look at me
    And see that I can be worth your love
    I just want you to look at me
    And see that I can be
    Good enough, good enough
    Good enough
    And see that I can be
    Good enough, good enough
    Good enough
    I try to show you that I'm strong
    Why do I even bother?
    Cause it's the same old damn song
    And you call yourself a father
    Feels like I'm reaching for the stars
    But heaven isn't letting me
    I wish that I had longer arms
    But I know that will never be never be
    I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
    But I keep trying
    And you just keep making me jump through hoops
    What do I got to do?
    I just want you to look at me
    And see that I can be worth your love
    I just want you to look at me
    And see that I can be
    Good enough, good enough
    Good enough
    And see that I can be
    Good enough, good enough
    Good enough
    Look at me
    I'm standing right here waiting for you, here I am
    Look at me
    Lookin' for your acceptance, do you give a damn?
    Look at me
    See it doesn't matter what you think, I'm still a man
    Look at me
    Open up your eyes, can't you see that I'm good enough
    I just want you to look at me
    Look at me
    I just want you to look at me
    And see that I can be
    Good enough, good enough
    Good enough
    I just wanna be, yeah

      @@ruman2869 He claimed that he was attacked, beaten up, splashed with bleach and had a noose put around his neck by 2 white Trump supporters who were screaming MAGA country.
      It was later proven that he had hired 2 Nigerian black men to 'lightly' attack him and staged the whole event.
      He has never admitted to lying or making it up despite the fact that the 2 Nigerian men admitted to attacking him and were caught on camera on the way to attack him wearing what he described the attackers wearing except he said they were white and these guys were black.
      He lied a bunch more and at this point if he came out and admitted he lied he would lose any supporters he currently has.
