I’m a 60 something white lady. Grew up in a big city. My best friend from age 5-10 was a different color than me and we both knew that but it was nothing. I didn’t know there was a name to our difference until I was 9. Someone came to my home and we were playing together and this someone said” oh you have a colored girl as a friend”. Nothing mean just a statement. I just looked at this person and said” what’s a colored girl?”.... so baffled was I. My family had to move to a different part of city and my friend and I only got to see each other if my parents could drive me over to her house. Her entire family and mine had a great friendship for years. I wish the world would stop making people feel a certain way about about shades of skin!!

I am your same age.. got a year on you, so I know exactly where you are coming from. Growing up, I had a friend across the street that I played with on a regular basis. I am an only child but my mother had brothers and sisters and my cousins came over quite often. I remember asking them if they wanted to go across the street and play with my friend, Donna. They told me that they could not because she was "mexican". This was news to me and it upset me.. In that group of cousins, three of us were very close in age and I was much closer to my cousin Greg, who was about a little more than a year older than me, much more so than his sister, who is only 6 months older than I am and, to this day, Greg and I are much closer than I am to his sister. Out of that family, Greg is the only one who has had relationships with people of all races and that to me is just sad.. I have relatives who have never had lunch with a person of a different race.. I truly hope this changes.. I know I raised my girls to look past color and to judge people by the way they acted, not by the way they looked. Have a great day and here's to rocking out and keeping great music alive with Jamel!

I'm with you. I didn't know there was such a thing as racism until I was in like 4th grade. I've always had friends with Mexican decent, African decent, and Asian decent. From before way before I ever started school of any sort. When I was informed. My friends a I were skateboarding around town (small town) and my friend Jamal (not the same dude. This was in New Mexico) ran into some guy walking out of a store. And the guy was calling Jamal all these words, names, I had never heard before. I shit you not. And of course I could tell these were very mean word worse than just explicit language. After we got away from there with tons of apologies I had to ask the meanings. And I was appalled that there was even a notion of such hateful and frankly moronic thinking. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. We all bleed the same we are all of this planet. I am ashamed of what the European, Caucasian has done to this world in respect to others.

tbh, all through the 70s and 80s bands and friends were racially mixed and honesty nobody cared bc we cared about the music and about people we loved. the saddest part about what's happening now is that it's actually breaking lifelong friendships and taking us back the 1930s. it's sad, but all we have to do is ignore it.

I get really frustrated with the algorithms because Screwtube only allows me to see the same videos every day with few exceptions. I try to get around it, but its not easy. I'm so tired of Big Tech telling me what I want to see. How I wish the killionaires would get a life and quit making us their experiments and hobbies! Dad blame control freaks! 😤

This was a great "FEELIN' GOOD" song that got a ton of radio play back then. Was very good to hear it again!

Maybe you could do a series of songs your parents, aunties, and uncle’s brought you up on.

@@problyzuited9828 NO. It's because Jamel's a west coast 40-year-old guy & I'm an east coast 62-year-old gal. His Mom is probably about my age because he is the oldest in his family. I grew up in the Woodstock era because I had older sisters. Most of my contemporaries were the oldest in their families. Our music choices were way different. Most of my friends never even heard of the entertainers that I grew up listening to.

@@dee_dee_place thanks many of our musical journeys begin in the home. Mine was around 3 dancing around the living room with my mom and aunt to Chicago, Moody Blues, etc. They’d have wine and funny smelling cigarettes, we’d laugh and dance for hours. Thought it would be cool if he shared his experiences.

@@josepharmsberger7633 My musical upbringing was Big Bands & religious music from my folks, heavy metal from my middle sister, & everything else from my big sister. I was thinking about the comment from @probly zuited, & I realized that before the advent of TV (our 1st Black & White was bought just before the Beatles played on Ed Sullivan) most musicians had regional following fan bases. Once TV started airing their music, they went national & international.

Hey gang, I grew up in Canoga Park in the 1970's, lived on a cul-de-sac with 12 homes. We were practically a mini-United Nations. Jews, Chinese, Japanese, Iranians, etc. I was friends with them all. My highlight at Cleveland High-School was playing keys in a one-off rock concert on the school quad with a couple of local white guys as well as two other guys, Lloyd on drums and Mike on guitar, who lived in downtown LA. I don't remember if we actually practiced all together before the show, but it was something to behold! Among the tunes from the set I recall were from Rush (YYZ), and something from the Michael Schenker Group. And yes, I'm still friends with Lloyd on social media 40 years down the road. This tune by WAR has always been one of my favorites and in light of the horrific crimes committed against US citizens of African and Far Eastern origin over the past year or so, the lyrics are even more valid today than when the tune was released back in 1975. The entire police force needs to be retrained and this song needs to be the mantra in that effort.

Always loved that the group was named WAR but sang a song about "let's just be friends". Jamel we, you and me, need to get together to do a few of these. I lived that era, what an extra insight.
