      Eric the racism, segregation and discrimination is in the air. Is in everywhere, any country. As species we are too territorial. Someone in your family or in my family is telling us every day every minute to hate every person that has strange colors in the whole world. Isn’t just white and black. I’m a black male but my family was middle class long ago so we were well educated. My family lived among white neighborhoods and I remember my father telling me “ don’t meet people from the low lying life area and also the whites. So the problem cross from father to son. Luckily for me I broke the chain but causing a lot damage in the family prides. I married with a white woman and I have 2 children but my father never likes her and my daughter. My father died and never asked for his niece. She’s 23 right now .

    Fun Fact:
    The song is about the ebony (black) and ivory (white) keys on a piano, but also deals with integration and racial harmony. The title was inspired by McCartney hearing Spike Milligan say, "Black notes, white notes, and you need to play the two to make harmony, folks!"

    Conheci essa música recentemente através de um amigo chamado Humberto. Ele é branco, eu sou negro. Achei a melodia muito boa e a letra, sem comentários. Bastante profunda. Se nos atentarmos a mensagem que a letra carrega, veremos que não se resume basicamente às teclas pretas e brancas de um teclado, que por sinal, está sendo tocado por Stevie e Paul. As teclas juntas produzem essa melodia harmônica. No entanto, ébano e marfim, é uma letra que faz apologia à igualdade e integração racial. Uma clamação a vivermos de forma harmônica. Sobretudo um convite a problematizar questões/ aspectos intrínsecos em nossa sociedade, a exemplo o racismo. O ébano é tão precioso quanto o marfim.

      Yes we do. I don't want to not see color. I want a world where we all recognize different cultures and colors, and embrace them. We don't need to all be the same, that would be boring. I want Indian food, I want Ethiopian food, I want greasy spoon white guy diner food, I want Mexican food, I want authentic Chinese food, I want sushi. The same goes for music. Variety is the spice of life. I don't want all of us to be the same, I just want all of us to be equal. If you want everyone to assimilate to one culture, you are missing out on so much awesomeness that other people can offer you. We are all different, but we are all the same. One love.
