When Michael Jackson fought racism through music

When Michael Jackson released “Black or White” in 1991, he turned one of pop’s catchiest songs into a cultural breakthrough. Beneath the infectious guitar riffs and global rhythms was a fearless statement on unity, equality, and the absurdity of racial prejudice. It wasn’t just entertainment, it was a message that reached every corner of the planet.

With its groundbreaking music video, Jackson used storytelling, dance, and symbolism to call out discrimination and celebrate diversity. Decades later, the song’s message remains as urgent as ever, reminding us that music can be more than sound, it can be a force for change.
