... Background

The song's title deals with the subject of racism in the radio industry, at a time when more cutting-edged songs and the radio stations in general were starting to open up to newer formats like rhythmic contemporary, which genre this song predates. It also took on how station policies dictates what can or can not be played on air. This was evidenced by Johnson, who recalled how a radio station refused to play a song about an interracial relationship. That experience prompted Johnson and Gane to write about their feelings over this practice by recalling the events, in which they use lyrics like "I dream in Black and White" and call for stations in general to "Stand Up and Face the Music/This Is 1984!"[citation needed]

The single was also controversial in its own right, as radio stations avoided playing the single because of the song's title and lyrics[citation needed] despite being a modest hit in Canada, where it reached No. 26.

In the United States, the single peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 2 on the Dance/Disco chart, where it reached number 2 in 1984.[2] ...

Yeah, if it weren't for the area college station, I would have never known about this song.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Come to my door, baby, face is clean and shining black as night
My mother went to answer, you know that you looked so fine
Now I could understand your tears and your shame

She called you "boy" instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said, "but honey, he's not our kind"

[Chorus]
She says I can't see you anymore, baby
Can't see you anymore

[Verse 2]
Walk me down to school, baby, everybody's acting deaf and blind
Until they turn and say, "Why don't you stick to your own kind?"
My teachers all laugh, their smirking stares

Cutting deep down in our affairs
Preachers of equality
Think they believe it, then why won't they just let us be?
