American Lyrics by F.O.D. (BEL)

[CNN Reporter]
Why do we hate?

[Jane Elliott]
We hate because we're taught to hate. We hate because we're ignorant. We're the product of ignorant people who have been taught an ignorant thing which is that there are four or five different races. There are not four or five different races, there is only one race on the face of the еarth, and we are all membеrs of that race, the human race. But we have separated people into races so that some of us can see ourselves as superior to the others. We thought it would work I guess it hasn't worked, it has been bad for everyone. But it's time to get over this business. There is no gene for racism, there is no gene for bigotry. You are not born a bigot, you have to learn to be a bigot. Anything you learn, you can unlearn. It's time to unlearn our bigotry. It's time to get over this thing and we best get over it pretty soon

Proud American
Can you please explain in simple words how you think someone like them will build a safer, more human, state for you to live in?

I am only trying to understand where you come from, where you're dying to go
There must be something wrong with the way I think
Can't comprehend all that you seem to know

True American
Somehow you're convinced that you are worth more based on the color of your skin
Education failed but it's not too late to unlearn
