1949 SOUTH PACIFIC
You've got to be taught to hate and fear You've got to be taught from year to year
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be taught to be afraid of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a different shade You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be taught before it's too late Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate You've got to be carefully taught
1951 The King and I
Whenever I feel afraid I hold my head erect and whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I'm afraid
SIGH
