~ Equality ~


We are one. That is the message of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. He spurned racism and segregation. The lyrics of this song are a reflection of his thought. He wanted everyone to think and treat every soul equally. 

Equality is what he was fighting for in this song. He claimed himself to not to be second to anyone. He was trying to say that one should not be ranked according to race and creed. We are born human. God gives us only one race that is the human race. Why should we segregate ourselves is the question in this song. To narrow down the scope, he was singing about the plight of the coloured ones in America. Just because they were brought in as slaves, the Whites keep treating them as such even after slavery was banned. This circumstance should change. 

Jackson represented all the coloured ones in America to voice their dissatisfaction. The scene of two babies at the end of the song clip is a picture of unity that he had been yearning for. Segregation is a minority issues in America. However, it is still taking place; not only in America but also in the parts of the world. Together with Michael Jackson, I hope that one day some of humans who are ‘blind’ will open their eyes and realize of equality and may that one day come soon.

  5. I think that this song is about the Apartheid issue during 1990's. However, segregation should be history by the 21st century because there are better opportunities towards education.

  6. Come to think ot it, I really like the song. It transmit a direct and clear message - No to DISCRIMINATION. Everyone has a pair of eyes, legs and hands. The one difference that is the skin colours. Even so it doesn't give anyone green light to discriminate one another just because you are blacker than the fairer one. Vice versa.
    If one noticed, most of his songs brings meaningful messages across to the globe.
