    There *was* a lot more love back then. The world has been divided by continuous psychological operations pulled off by the psycopaths that run this place. Most of what you have been taught to believe is a lie.

      The problem is you could be lying too about most things being a lie. You just have to be yourself and go with the flow of what you believe in. Its up to you to believe. I get what you mean though, yet I also probably disagree with you on what some things are lies and agree on others. But I won't get into politics right now. The meaning I am getting from you I tend to think you are right because I get the gist of what you are referring to. And the gist I am getting at is I do believe the Holocaust isn't a lie or Covid. If you get my drift, your talking about lies that have divided people which yes, that has happened plenty. But some stuff thats talked about having happened between races,religions and countries have not been lies, but we should not let that divide us but rather learn from it and bring us closer. I just feel that statement is over simplified in my opinion. The lies exist but people have decided to let things divide us more than they should be it truth or lie. Even the truth shouldn't lead to as much division as it seems to have happened.

If the flashlight in my house is not used for a good reason, I don't care to see it. My crazy uncle came to my mothers house acting like he was George Clinton with the flashlight (pulling the curtain close, and mommy was at work) well she came home early and it was over. 🤣🤣Everyone got in trouble acting like they were at a Parliament concert (house full of his friends, my brothers and cousins as everyone had a flashligh). Everybody got in trouble except me. We may have had fun but nothing is like my mother being piss off. However, it was funny to me to see them running out the back door when she was coming through the front.😂😂

    It breaks my heart to see what has happened to the unity in our country because of politics. I'm 51. I grew up in the 70s and 80s in a suburb of San Diego, and YES, we all got along so well! Hanging out with people of all races and backgrounds was normal, and we liked each other. The music was awesome and we all had a great time. The media and politicians have done a heck of a job trying to divide us, which is why I love to watch music reactions, because the reactors and viewers are overwhelmingly positive. I appreciate your uplifting energy. Cheers!

    You're not alone. Lots of people thought he was too. Even though he found the black funk, he still had cosigners all around him.
    Believe me, it gave him a good foot in the black community door...hence him being on Soul Train. He was definitely a real one though. You can tell he truly felt the funk.
    The 70's was definitely influenced by the Funk. People were getting high, having crazy sex cuz of the birth control revolution and learning to love their afros...be it a black, white, Asian, Jewish and Latino afro...people were learning how to get down together in the name of funk. Disco and Rock n Roll of that era had some influences from funk too. Lots of creative times back then. Of course I know things in retrospect. I was a kid back then, but the music has been a staple in our evolution into a mindset of "One nation under the Groove" as they used to say.

The band wasn't formed on racial lines but guys coming together to perform. I've notice KC looks annoyed when interviewers have even suggested the band was formed to bring races together. No it was formed because of a shared love of music.

      I’m still confused how anyone would get confused over all them. I hear most these musicians on radio growing up, and I never thought anyone of them weren’t white. Bee gees sounded like high pitched British dudes, KC just a 70’s pop rock sound. Righteous brothers I found 2 years ago and I’m still wondering why ppl get confused.

    Great music transcends any race. I still remember when I first saw The Phoenix Horns (of Earth Wind and Fire) play live with Phil Collins on one of Phil's solo tours I was absolutely blown away by the amazing sound they created live in concert. That lead me to enjoying some Earth Wind and Fire. Great music transcends all boundaries.

    In the 70's we were pretty much over the race thing. I saw Temptations and the audience was more white than black. I saw Blue Oyster Cult in Oakland, and half the crowd was black. Which led to tremendous music over several different styles. And you ain't lived until you spotted some Bell Bottoms. 😃
