"Where's the Love"

Back in the 1800s and 1900s, there were many racial issues and separation among the blacks and the whites. It was a myth or a theory that the whites are better than others and that they    deserve more privileges and shouldn’t be treated the same way. The were many blacks and whites activists that would stand up for their rights as well as other’s. People like Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr., are great examples of people that changed our lives today, not only did they win equality but also, humanity.

Before the song “Where’s the Love” was published, there were many civil wars due to the lack of equality among the different races. All blacks had to fight for their rights when they shouldn’t have had to at all, because automatically, we are all equal in all ways and just because we born in a certain way, doesn’t mean we are worse or better at all. Also, at the end we are all just “one world!”

After the activists fought for years and decades, they finally achieved their dreams and are almost equal with the whites. The portion that allows me to say “almost” is that there are terrible people still arguing about different races like the KKK (Klu Klux Klan) the disgusting group that goes around causing trouble for the colored people. As this song was announced in 2003, after the civil war and equality, it was made to remind everyone how crazy and inhuman they were until they realized that there is no difference. Guess what, in a period of time, the richest women alive was a black women, Oprah Winfrey.

This song got so much attention due to its great purpose and how the singer expresses his thoughts and feelings, with the strong meanings to his words. In this song, the singer uses great examples of groups and people that encourage segregation between whites and blacks. He is calling to his father from above telling him how much chaos is happening nowadays and begging for his guidance to ameliorate everyone’s living experience because life is something that cannot be returned, refunded or exchanged. 

This song is very heart-warming and was noticed by many prominent people such as the Grammy Awards and this song received 7 Grammy Awards due to its great cause. I wish everyone was like the writer of this song, if everyone does their part, life will be a piece of cake and no one will have to worry about any crimes committed as we will all be living in peace.
