Yes! I personally can respect that as the world certainly needs One Love, One Heart. The only thing I would have loved to see, was a blend of race to show unity, but that&#8217;s my perspective from where I sit. At my age, i&#8217;ve come to learn that another angle sometimes is also a very powerful statement in sending messages across. Maybe if it was a blend, may be it wouldn&#8217;t have gone\u00a0 viral to gain any attention.\u00a0 Enjoy the other videos below.
