After reading some of the videos posted on youtube, I remembered that alot of song writers and singers have approached the idea of Race and Racism. They attempt to put it into a positive perspective or give us their own feelings on the idea of Racism. Michael Jackson, despite the controversy of his own race, has created a few videos on the concept of race and racism. For Example: his videos, Black Or White, and Heal the World. Both of these video address his views on race and contain imagery of different races and different anti-____ groups, such as the KKK.
I find that alot of people, if they simply listen to some of the lyrics of Michael's, and so many other's, songs, can benefit from the different perceptives of Racism.
" See, It's Not About Races
Just Places
Faces
Where Your Blood
Comes From
Is Where Your Space Is
I've Seen The Bright
Get Duller
I'm Not Going To SpendMy Life Being A Color"
