My first best friend as I recall was black kid named Vaughn.
Our school was predominately white and Jewish. Bronx NY
At that time it never occurred to us there was anything odd about our friendship.
65 years ago.
Didn't last long until we found out differently.

You've Got to Be Carefully Taught
..Richard Rodgers
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 diff'rent 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
