This was written in the 50's after the Brown v Board of Education decision that was intended to abolish segregation in schools. In the 70s this was still relevant since actual de-segregation primarily in the form of busing was being implemented with a lot of resistance.

Because there's ego and pride on either side. No need to know enough to accurately guess that you the man is black and she is white, or hispanic, or asian, or any other female race. There's more to it than just race, but because it's easy to play the victim the former is the easiest way to portray that.

"Black and White" is a song written in 1954 by David I. Arkin and Earl Robinson. It was first recorded by Pete Seeger featuring an African-American child, in 1956 from the album "Love Songs for Friends & Foes". The most successful recording of the song was the pop version by "Three Dog Night" in 1972, when it reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Easy Listening charts.

[@BobbyRagnar]

There was a "feel good" genre that was popular around then. See also Ray Stevens "Everything is Beautiful"

I started school in 1964 in small town La. there was 1 black kid in the whole place. the Supreme Court decision had occurred 10 years before. but much of the country( esp. the south) ignored it. a few years later, the family moved to Texas and saw virtually the same thing ( that town didn't fully integrate until 70. but I agree, there's been an enormous amount of change.

[@garysunshine9643]

How can you not enjoy Three Dog Night's music? Should be in the R&R Hall of Fame but shamefully missing (among others). Their song themes are often simple, but the deliveries are anthemic

And my mom loved most of the music during this time. She bought me albums I couldn't have afforded. And I so love her for that. Miss her so much.

Great song, great pick. My favorite song by them. When I was growing up, my sister's friend's husband was a teacher. This was his favorite song and I remember him saying, things are getting better but we have a way to go. He loved all his students and I was only 8 years old and I remember that. Sadly he passed away from cancer at 30 yrs old. I remember that loss still today.

[@royjohnson465]

The African Canadian, black drummer for Three Dog Night was Floyd Chester Sneed who was born November 22, 1942 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and died January 27, 2023 at 80 years of age, was a Canadian drummer for the band Three Dog Night. He became interested in drums at at a young age. His first drum kit was gifted from his older sister Maxine who was married to the musician/actor Tommy Chong of Cheech & Chong who was also a Canadian. In 1966 he formed his own band and moved to Los Angeles, California. In 1968 Floyd Sneed met three vocalists Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells of Three Dog Night who were looking for backing musicians, he then joined their new band as drummer until it broke up in 1977. But he continued to work with other bands including a longer extended tour with The Ohio Players.

This song reminds me of being in the car with my mom in the early 70s listening to AM radio. It seemed so many songs at the time had nursery rhyme like qualities. Besides this one I think of Clint Holmes "Playground In My Mind" and Carpenters "Sing A Song". Maybe having songs so easy to sing along to helped to turn me into the music fan I became. As far as the subject matter of this, yes targeted more to adults. As young as I was I already took the subject matter for granted I didn't need to learn it from a song. I feel like you are born knowing this and only the culture or your environment can make you think anything different.

[@mojoesixpack]

I was 13 when this song was a hit in 1972. It was only 3 years earlier, when I was 10 and in 5th grade, that schools where I lived (and in much of the country, particularly in the South), were desgregated. So, at the time this song was popular, black and white kids had spent most of their lives in a segregated world, and what seems perfectly normal now, was somewhat of an adjustment then for much of America. While there is still work to be done, we sure have come a long, long way, and that's why this song was popular and so relevant in 1972.

[@leemcclements8889]

Eli's Coming. Live version.... you have to check that out! TDN was a great staple of the late 60's/ 70's. My mom had all their albums. That's what I grew up listening to.

[@jmiddleton7961]

Fun fact- 3 Dog night"was a term used back in the old days by ppl that couldn't afford to heat their dwelling. They would literally snuggle up with dogs to stay warm. Colder the night, the more dogs it took to stay warm. 3 dogs were likely for below freezing temps.

[@danwilliams5867]

I remember my music teacher in 5th grade teaching us this song for spring choir show, she was African-American. As we sang this for our Greatest Generation and Silent Generation parents you could see the amazement and some barely concealed hate by them. They were expecting some song like Mister Sandman or other fluffy music.

[@duncandavenport7007]

My sixth-grade year was 74-75. Every once in a while, we could bring in records to play if we had indoor recess. For some reason that today I can neither remember nor imagine, the school authorities made an announcement to the sixth-grade rooms telling us that playing this song was forbidden. The next thing I knew, we angrily flooded into the hallway in protest. Though I can't remember if they relented or not, for me the enduring image is seeing a hallway of a nearly all-white elementary school PACKED with yelling, angry six-graders gathered around an obviously shocked principal as he tried to calm us all down. Strange that I can't remember how it all ended. Wish I could.
