@berwick777 3 года назад

A man’s home is his castle, so return to your castle and be a husband to your wife! Be a father to the children you created! Be a man!! Then you would have reason to be proud and “you won’t have to look the other way”. A very powerful and compelling message in these lyrics.

Hi, I’m a white woman. I LOVE LOVE all all people. I can listen to this song over and over and over again. Just Love it.❤️ I care for all people in our world. It doesn’t matter what color any human is. We are all the same. Why can’t our world see that? I lost my wonderful husband the day my son was born years ago. I raised my son on my own. He is now thriving and has a great life. I wish and pray 🙏and hope and want for every human being no matter what color or country they are from to live and have a Beautiful life. Please Please Please Please let us never again look at color. Think about it. How Ridiculous it is to look at a Human Being and just because they have a different color on their skin some people immediately hate them. This Nonsense has to STOP RIGHT NOW. The Insanity of racism has to STOP NOW. I LOVE every good human in this world. The bad humans that I myself have particularly have experienced are as White as could be. The people that have hurt me and stole from my son and I and have devastated my life are as White as can be. So I will Never Ever be Prejudice against a certain color of humanity. There are good and bad people of every race. God sees everything. Karma sees everything. I Love every single good human in this world. I don’t care about silly color. But will end my message to say. No matter what color you are. If you are a Bad, criminal scamming disgusting human you will receive your Karma and God sees all. Plain and Simple. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

~ Take heart: I get a better reaction on the dance floor from classics & underground dance jams of the 1960s and 1970s than most of my current records. My nieces and nephews know Motown very well thanks to RU-vid & Discogs & new old vinyl records. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

The year 1972. I was attending Banneker Junior High, right across the street from Howard University. Located on Georgia Ave in Washington D.C. Turn back the hands of time. Those were the days. The music was right on time. The words to songs back then had a lot of meaning behind them. Old School > Can you dig it ?
