    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.

    "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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    This song was Three Dog Night's third and last #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 during the summer of 1972. It spent three weeks at the #1 spot. By the way, this song is not a lullaby song. A great song indeed!!!

    You should do their live performance of "Old Fashion Love Song." It really shows their true talent and Lex, with her great sense of humor, will love the ending. She won't be able to stop laughing. Intrigued, give it a shot. I do realize you did the studio version, but the live version is so much better.

    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.

    And a black child and white child play, hug laugh together without a second thought... UNTIL they're ruined by ugly prejudice and hate.. This is the 1st song I've seen Brad smile... Alot!! Yes, Lex... Parents need to BE THE DIFFERENCE and perpetuate the life of love...Brad... it's focused on kids because they GROW UP into ADULTS... who dish out what they were taught as "kids".. they're copies of what caring, loving, wise "color blind" parents raise.. they're what they're taught. God bless the children... PEACE

    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.

    This song was released in 1972. I started my sophomore year in high school in 1970
    That was the year they started bussing in schools. Before then, I'd never gone to school with a black kid or had a black teacher.
    It was kinda tense for the first couple weeks until we figured each other out. (Weird? Yeah I know)
    Then we went back to what we did before. "Man, let's go down to turner park and smoke a joint!" lol

    You have to address the parents, because they are the people, who can put their kids together in the kindergarden. where they then hear the song together.

    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.
