You've got to be carefully taught


1 minute 30.

These kids are being raised with stereotypical views that white men are good and black men are bad. They thought that Timothy McVeigh was a nice guy and a teacher.

"You've Got To Be Carefully Taught" - South Pacific
1949 Rodgers & Hammerstein

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
Or 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!
You've got to be carefully taught!
