I'm an old white man . I was born before this song came out. We loved the song and did not care who was singing this song, black or white. God created all of us.

Racism was still very much alive and well in the 70's also. decreased some in the 80's -2016 but came back again full force when Trump became president the 1st time. And now I feel like we are living in the 60's again all the Hate for brown / black people has got to stop . we are all members of 1 race the HUMAN ONE!!!

I was around in the 50s and I don't remember us white woman disliking a singer that was black. If we liked the song we liked the singer.

What’s funny is that almost every time someone brings attention to racism, there are always people quick to call it “race baiting” or claim that Black people are the most racist. We know you're tired of hearing about it — and good. That’s exactly the point. We’ve got Trump and others trying to erase history so people remain unaware of the damage caused by those like him. Just look at what ICE is doing right now — it's the same kind of treatment Black people have faced for generations. And to make it even worse, we’re from here. This is our home. America continues to benefit from systems built on the backs of our ancestors while still trying to silence the truth.

It’s so funny reading of white boomers saying they never witnessed foul and unfair treatment of colored people.

Don't let the black and white footage fool you. That was only 40 or 50 years ago. We are dealing with that mentality still because they passed it on to their children and grandchildren. Considering the current moment ..I'm not shocked. It confirms what most of us darker than the shade of khaki have known for a while. This nasty behavior is learned and passed on.

It is very concerning that people would claim racism based on the expressions of these women. It is very prejudicial to say the least but it speaks to the many false claims of racism.
