Another great song occurred to me: Society's Child
It's about a white girl who is dating a black boy. She is rebuked by various people in her community for doing what she does. At the start of the song, she is proud of her ability to be open-minded and her acceptance of people of other races. By the end of the song, she has succumbed to the pressure of society.
It raises the question, how can diversity flourish when those who embrace it are crushed by society? (Keep in mind this song was written in the sixties)
