I’m a white man and I’m learning from the black community what it’s like living here. Is it truly that hard as a black person living in the USA? It shouldn’t be hard for anyone. I’m sorry that I haven’t seen it before. But I’m starting to understand. It’s people like you that will wake up the masses and make us all see the truth. Music truly is the eye opener to the world in my opinion. God Bless you man.

I am a Jamaican woman. And I could understand and relate to your message. I love your southerness and the fact that you could capture all that is happening in one song. Truly powerful and inspiring... I love how you have built on what you started xfactor with. I have been looking out for you from then, to see what you produce. Did not disappoint. Keep breaking barriers and making music that speaks a message not hype nor fame, but true to you and your people.

Mr. Jones:
Thank you.
This message is needed now and your artistry gives it poignant voice that speaks about race, perseverance, and justice across racial divides.
And amazing work on the video; kudos to you and the production crew/animators.
I'm a retired secondary educator; this would have been playing on the video screen now and again. I'll be passing this along to my still-working colleagues to share with ALL our youth.

Because country radio is racist against black artists.
They are afraid of because they know black people are superior to them and will out sell white artist if given the chance.

Willie may not realize that being a black man entering the white dominated world of country music, he has himself become a physical sign of peace. Hes opening doors that he never could have imagined in bringing blacks, whites etc together as one. This song shines light on how we still have more work to do to ensure every human is viewed as equal. PoWORDSfull

@Nona Lisa Jones I came across your son’s music for the first time today (when he was on The Tonight Show). I’m happy to see a young black artist who has something to say instead of the usual commercial drivel that’s out there. You should be very proud of your son. ✊🏾👍🏾✌🏾❤️

I just happened to stumble across that audition clip again, today. THEN, this "American Dream" (Official Video) popped up! Mr. Willie Jones...YOUR LYRICS ARE POWERFUL! And, I'm so glad that you put your urgent message to MUSIC! Please, STAY HUMBLE, as you were instructed by one of the judges, and YOUR FUTURE WILL BE ("IS") BRIGHT; not only in "AMERICA"...but, all around the world! GOOD JOB! Signed...A FAN!

Thank you!

This song touched my soul. You are a talented singer and songwriter. You are a gift to country music. My Grandfather and his siblings attended an American Indian Boarding School for many years.

Will Jones is one of the most underrated musicians out there to this date. I love his songs and his story telling but American Dream is to another level. We need this today. It frustrates me when people like Will doesn’t have millions of views and recognition now but I guarantee if he continues to be himself and make music like this, you will be remembered for a long time. Just like your song, your story, you are breaking barriers with new country fusion music. Great stuff and impeccable talent. As a black man myself who love all music and all people, this resonates. Great story and keep positive people around you. Don’t give up, the music industry is tough but regular people like us will carry you to that Grammy podium. Wish you and your family the best man.

This song is an amazing piece of songwriting from an amazing singer/songwriter! I'm from Shreveport Louisiana and I know what Willie Jones is talking about. I know what he means when he says it's different being a black man then it is being a white man especially in Shreveport Louisiana and and a whole lot of places across this country. Willie Jones, you nailed it bro! And the spoken word you put in on the top of that was just icing on the cake that was amazing!
