    This song should make our younger generations see how much our ancestors went through to get them where they are at today. Thank you O'Jays for this beautiful song.

      And still there is racism and hate in the USA,and almost everywhere.
      Kids grow up breathing this hateful wrong air even in Mom‘s belly.
      Look what happend to all that hope Nelson Mandela brought to S-Africa,
      nothing left.
      Sorry,but I lost hope for all mankind.

    I dedicate this song to my dad, Samuel Edward Holmes Sr. He was laid to rest one year ago today. He was a great man with great honor and integrity. One of his many passions in life was music. As a young boy, he introduced me to many groups and artists such as the OJays. I am so grateful for the time we shared and the memories we made that will live within me forever. This is for you, Pop. Rest peacefully, my dear father. Until me meet again. Family forever!

      In 1973 l,a black young man in the 101st airborne division heard this song and being from south Central- Watts Ca did not understand why my fellow white paratroopers did not understand the veracity of the lyrics. sadly 48 years later I can't understand why 40 year old white parents don't understand the generational effects this has had not only to those black people in the ghetto and slums, but also to the so- called successful black people held in high esteem

      ​@@raymondhinton4729 They absolutely understand brother, However, They have to act wilfully ignorant in order to avoid actual change because actually ADMITTING to such things will hold them directly responsible for the conditions that they've purposely imposed in our communities and admitting that Y.T.E. supremacy and Y.T.E privilege exist currently in our society and moe the goal post anytime black americans practice self sufficiency and Economic and financial freedom.
