What really gets me.
What really gets me is the fact that you could have used this to incorporate all kinds of discrimination: Be it against Sexual Orientation, Religeous Preferance, Political Affiliation, or gender. I understand that the song was mean't to specifically cover racism (especially towards blacks) but you never know when you could see a gay man or muslim lynched as well. Regardless I enjoyed the bold shading and fantastic song (really, really good). But what makes this stand out is the fact that you decided to get a message across. I know Newgrounds isn't a key place to find insightful, serious videos, but you put one on. I hope you make follow-ups discerning the other frequently attacked minorities. Especially the gays, we need all the help we can get.

True, I could have made it more broad, Then again, this was meant to be more broad than a lot of poeple take it. I decided to take a quite literal interpretation of the song, so naturally it was about a black guy (actually two).
I might do a follow up, but probably not anytime soon. I have to admit it is quite intens to work on such a movie for two weeks. At the moment I feel more like some comedy movies. If I ever make another I'll make it about gays or muslims
Simply amazing
One of the most serious things i've seen on Newgrounds in a long time. This almost made me cry since I'm just a wimp >_>, but still. Bravo to you sir, and I hope you make more.
Disappointing.
When I saw this on the front page I was very happy, as it's rare to find touching things on NG these days, but overall the video was a real disappointment. I really liked the flow, and the pacing of the visuals, but the animations themselves weren't too great. The kicker for me was terrible version of the song that you used... why not use Billie's, she had a very strong but mellow voice, this version is just WAY too stark/oddly paced for my taste. Sorry, just being honest, and you had a good intent so 5/10.

I personally like this version way better, but I can understand why poeple dont like it.
Crazy Beutiful!
That was sad and real and really great! The color scheme was a nice touch. Beautifully done!
