Black Or White

-Turn that noise off!
-I thought I told you to turn that thing off.
It is too late and it’s too loud.
-But dad, this is the best part!
-You are wasting your time with this garbage.
Now, go to bed!
-Ok.
-Eat this.
-I’m afraid your father
is going to be very upset when he gets back.

I took my baby on a saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we're one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle has happened tonight

But if you're thinkin' about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

They print my message in the saturday sun
I had to tell them I ain't second to none
And I told about equality
And it's true either you're wrong or you're right

But if you're thinkin' about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

I’m tired of this devil
I’m tired of this stuff
I’m tired of this business
So when the going gets rough
I ain't scared of your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain't scared of nobody
Girl, when the goin' gets mean

Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It's a turf war on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
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 gonna spend my life being a color

Don't tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

But if you're thinkin' about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinkin' of being my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
I said if you're thinkin' of being my brother
It don't matter if you're black or white

Alright
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's black, it's white

It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's black,

Alright. That was perfect.
How d’you do that?

Lyrics in blue Chorus

Black And White is a song about racism and that it doesn't matter where you're from or what colour you are, because we are all people!

These lyrics describe his opinion on racism and how they have affected him and the world around him.

Its michael jackson talking about how people always accusing him of changing his color but it really doesnt matter because in his eyes everyone is one and the same like martin luther king jr.`s i have a dream speech

The first lyrics that caught my attention were "They printed my message, In the Saturday Sun, I had to tell them, I ain't second to none." Here he states that he is not no one, that he is a person, with equalities. Next, Jackson wrote " I told about Equality , An It's True, Either You're Wrong or you're right ."

In these few lines Jackson is trying to say that everyone has their own opinion on what equality is. If someone has a different opinion on equality, each person is right.

Later in the song, Jackson states "I am tired of this devil, I am tired of this stuff, I am tired of this business, So when the going gets rough, I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't Scared of No sheets, I ain't scare of nobody, Girl when the goin' gets mean." Jackson is stating that he is tired of the racism, which is described as a Devil .

Also, he states that he is not scared of anyone when things get bad and will not let the racism, that another person has for a different ethnicity, affect him.
