An anitdote to woke charades like CRT can be found, of all places, in Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” song and video. The lesson is obvious: if we go back far enough, all of us come from somewhere else other than here. Everyone needs to get off their high horse, including the woke brigades who are corrupting the minds of our kids. “Merit, not color” isn’t racism. It’s how we pay homage to our essential humanity.
If you’re interested, here are the lyics:
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
Don’t look at that
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 scared of nobody
Girl, when the goin’ gets mean
[L.T.B.:]
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 going to spend my life being a color
[Michael Jackson:]
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’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
I said if you’re thinkin’ about my brother
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
Alright
Alright
Alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now
Alright
Alright
Schamo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now
Alright
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you to get by
It’s black, it’s white, woo
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you to get by
It’s black, it’s white, woo

It’s amazing that we’ve gone from Jackson’s uplifting message of 1991 to the evil “fight racism with racism” of today. Shocking, in fact!
Enjoy the video.
In postscript, to be honest, I could do without the brat in the beginning.
* Thank you Armond White for the antidote to CRT.
