It is the prime motivator for Farcical Opinionated Xenophobic noise to keep their audience base of ignoramuses attuned. They think Fox's Alt-Right Taint, [or F.AR.T. for short...as presented daily by tucker and friends]...1 in 8 Americans of voting age choose F.O.X.'s F.A.R.T.s daily and are 12% of the country's source of common scents...albeit flammable. (see El Paso)
While beautifully composed, this remains one of the most TERRIFYINGLY ACCURATE songs ever written. "Carefully Taught" is a great moral warning either on its own or as part of the total South Pacific musical.
YES WATCH THE WHOLE PLAY AND THE SONG COMES INTO CONTEXT BECAUSE HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH AN ASIAN WOMAN. MANY VIET NAM SOLDIERS HAD VIET NAM KIDS! IT ALL COMES WITH THE YEARS AND THE TERRITOY OF GUYS MESSING WITH WOMEN AND IT HAPPENED. REALLY MADE ME CRY. WATCH IT. HIGH SCHOOLS WOULD PUT ON THAT PLAY TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE PROM NIGHT BACK IN THE DAY.
@@johnsmith1474 The ideas expressed in the song, though, are true now. And were true 700 years ago. And were probably true 70,000 years ago. The thought is timeless.
Oh, thank you, Mandy! I am sobbing right now. How did this country, this world, become so divisive? The words to both these songs are so relevant, now more than ever. I never thought, in my lifetime, that hatred would still be tolerated. Bless you!
This song was written in 1953. Therefore things haven't "become divisive" they WERE divided from day one and as a matter of fact are far less divided today. Your instincts are horribly clueless & distorted.
@@johnsmith1474 I agree to disagree. South Pacific opened in 1949, just after WWII, so I know the world was split apart. R & H had to fight to keep this song in the show. Yes, there has always been hate and division, and we could argue whether there is more or less, now. Your last sentence is insulting.
On June 12, 2016, the day of the Orlando, FL massacre, I listened to this beautiful rendition by Mandy Patinkin. Today I post it on my Facebook page and hope it gives a message and heart to all! Thank you for posting!
Susan Wallace YES!! I heard it for THE VERY FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT!! (04/18/2018), the original version, and it chilled me to the bone! The idea of the song sounds as if yes, this is how racism was taught to the very young. The children listen, as well as watvh and pick up on how their parents and other relatives react to and treat people that are different from them, and follow suit
OMG, I'm crying. "You've Got to be Taught" has always been a powerful song for me. My BF was in South Pacific in a summer production, saw it a dozen or so times. The point was memorable. Merged with "Children Will Listen" it just gets me right in the heart. My dad tried so hard to "teach me" to hate (not so much fear), I'm so glad that lesson failed. I was a huge disappointment to him for that LOL. I'm glad of it. But damn, people need to pay attention to this.
I only recognized this man from Criminal Minds but I listened to Sunday in the Park with George for so long. And now he’s on social media lowkey popular again but like... omg i love him 100% more after making the vocal connection. Also love that he sang Children will Listen, a song Bernadette Peters also sang :) amazing.
I have tried to teach my children to question what they hear and to think for themselves. Only time will tell if a few children or maybe grandchildren, can save us from repeating, over and over again the mistakes of our past. I do not think that God can help us. I think that we need to help ourselves.
Whether you are atheist or believer, you are responsible for your actions and change. To expect god (whatever you perceive god to be) to do it for you is abrogating your responsibility as a human being. I am an agnostic - I just don't know. But I do know hate is learned!
I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH SINCE MY EARLY YEARS AND CAN STILL REMEMBER ALL OF IT. I HAD A BLACK BOYFRIEND WHEN I HAD AN OPERATION IN THE NYC HOSPITAL . I FORGOT HIS NAME BUT IF I REALLY THOUGHT BACK I WOULD REMEMBER. I WAS 10 HE WAS TEN. WE WERE BOTH STUCK ON THE SAME FLOOR AND HE HAD THE BED NEXT TO MINE. ANY WAY WE HAD A BLACK MAID ELIZABETH AND EVE MY FRIEND HAD A BLACK MAID NAMED MARY . EVE'S MOTHER WORKED AND SO DID MINE. ALL THE OLDER SIBLINGS WERE AT THEIR JOBS OR IN THE NAVY. THE MAIDS WOULD COOK ,CLEAN AND DO THE WASH. WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR WAS REALLY COOL. AND HE WAS BLACK. WE WOULD HANG OUT ALL THE TIME TOGETHER. I REALLY MISS MARVIN GAYE. I'M GOING TO LISTEBN TO HIM NOW.

South Pacific the motion picture, a musical, taught acceptance in a time where the world had been very stired up by thousands of GI's taking home brides of every nationality.
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!
Both songs are so poignant today. Children Will Listen from Stephen Sondheim's Into The Woods has a special place and truth for me. I was privileged enough to be in the production in community theater and (as part of the ensemble) sang that song. The entire play is all about overcoming fear and doing what's right. It was a sentimental treat to find this beautiful performance.
I was raised in a Chicago immigrant family. The culture was racist. I was racist until I saw South Pacific when I was in high school. That movie changed my life. I wanted the adventure, travel, romance the movie portrayed. I joined the Air Force and chose Asia as my duty station. I had to go to the islands. I had to see that world. And I lived that movie. I visited the islands, had the adventures, met the wacky people in the military, and remembered this song when I met the locals. My friends considered them "slopes" and other racist names and it always pissed me off. After the Air Force, I tried to go back to my old life, but it was impossible. I backpacked around the world until I met my "Liat". A Tonkinese. The same people I fought. The song is right on. The biases I met were as strong against my race as my buddies were against them and they were all "carefully taught" as children. It is getting worse.
It's so true. Unfortunately we're still in a period of transition where our intellect and our inventiveness are being held back by our animal instincts. We humans are social animals and social animals rely on their immediate group for protection and companionship. Anything that approaches that group - including a strange member of the same species - is perceived as a threat and either chased away or killed. So humans are still doing exactly the same thing as every other herd animal on this planet has done for millennia - terrified of "them", whoever "they" might be and therefore trying to ensure that "they" are shunned and segregated. Given enough time, we may achieve a balance and eventually our better impulses will win - but we may not have that much time left.
I NEVER KNEW MANDY POTAMKIN COULD SING SO BEAUTIFULLY. THAT WAS EXCEPTIONAL! SHIT YEAH. DID ANYBODY GET IT? THIS WAS FROM THE YEAR I WAS BORN 1958 FROM THE PLAY SOUTH PACIFIC.
Children WILL listen! Rogers and Hammerstein emphasized this first in 1949 with "You've Got To Be Carefully Taught" from the original Broadway musical "South Pacific." This combination of two very important songs addressed these issues ... the problem is "Parent's Don't Listen." How can they? They listened to their own prejudiced parents....And we wonder what provokes "Bullying'!
Andy, you are so Right. I only looked up this song because Sen.Blumenthal mentioned it on C-Span During House meeting on Hate Crimes juice department Eric Treene.
Years ago, I needed a job..I had newly arrived in Athens, Greece at the end of August, to 'finish a dream' ... the only position I could find at that late date, was in a private school...not far from where I was staying....it was owned and operated by a group of Palestinians...I hesitated for a minute but said to myself - 'the students are kids...they need an education. I'm a teacher, I needed a job.' well, the kids were just wonderful... I was assigned as the 3rd grade 'homeroom' teacher and also the 11th and 12 grade Science teacher. I was only there a few days when I realized that these kids were 'being carefully taught to hate' by their parents. It was a sad lesson to learn. I did my best to help change minds...I may have succeeded in 25% of my students. None knew that I was 'one of the tribe' that they thought they hated....I never told them either...just showed lots of love and caring. what an experience it was..... i could write a book about my two years there....

@@juliebiddle1636 date of this song is the 1940s during the USA Pacific War towards the end of World War 2,,,after Pearl Harbour,,,in the musical “South Pacific” the song describes how our white christian society teaches racism and hate,,,the white singer is in love with a girl from the Pacific islands,,,he is stating that hate and racism are “carefully taught when you are 6 or 7 or 8,,,,,and why is our society like this. He is calling out the teaching of this as evil. Love is love. Live and let live.
As an American Jew, I always thought of this as a cautionary song; now I think other groups hear the same words and use them as inspiration in training their children to hate me & my people 😢
To each his own, of course. But as I noted elsewhere, during the time he starred in multiple Broadway shows, he was considered one of, if not the, greatest male talent of our generation. Yes, he has a very unique style, so I understand why you said what you did, but what you might consider over the top, I (and many others) find extraordinarily emotionally moving.
+tomaf Some churches don't applause after a performance. I think it may have something to do with the fact that the person is honoring God and to clap would indicate that the performance was to please the people. I don't quite get it myself. From personal experience, usually, people just say "amen" quietly if the performance was good, but nobody did, so maybe this was a funeral or something.
In USA 2023, with the sanctioned rise of HATE Made Normal, triggered through the ideological values of certain politicals: this has sadly become even 'more' relevant! 😪❤🩹💙 'Carefully Taught' from Rogers and Hammerstein's '1949'!! lyrics in musical South Pacific.
Reading that the father of the murderer at the school in the Texas high school in May of 2018 is both Pro-Trump and Pro-NRA and left his guns available from his son to use - this medley tells a lot.
Simply unbearable. The wobbly vibrato. The whining tone. The over-the-top, whimpering sentimentality. What became of "Sunday in the Park with George's" Seurat? Please, Mandy, for your own good and ours, give up singing.
My father taught me this song as a child. It is how he showed me that all humans are God's children. Wish we could make all of America listen today. *sending out love to anyone reading*
Boy, do we need everyone to listen to this more than ever.
Mine too.... I was blessed....
my grandmother taught it to me. I listened.
mine too. the greatest generation.
How lovely. You had a good father. Love back to you❤
Okay mixing South Pacific and Into The Woods together was such a brilliant idea. And he sings so beautifully.
This needs to be aired on prime time regularly; I think people have forgotten the message.
It is the prime motivator for Farcical Opinionated Xenophobic noise to keep their audience base of ignoramuses attuned. They think Fox's Alt-Right Taint, [or F.AR.T. for short...as presented daily by tucker and friends]...1 in 8 Americans of voting age choose F.O.X.'s F.A.R.T.s daily and are 12% of the country's source of common scents...albeit flammable.

Agreed. It's such and accurate observation of bigotry.
I remember it from my childhood. I just introduced my daughter to it. She is a teacher and was saying that her students are so free and loving.
It rings true today, August 2020
South Pacific opened in 1949. WWII was still very fresh in people's minds. More than 65 years and we still have not learned its lesson.

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!

While my favorite “voice” is baritone, Mandy Patinkin is a treasure in every sense of the word.
I never heard this version and I've never heard Mandy sing. It's a song I hear in my head. I'm going to find the full version before I sing it again.
This comes from “South Pacific” by Rodgers and Hammerstein ,,,it will be in the full score with the dialogue cue in.
Adding it to my Facebook after Dallas.

Great words to live by. Wonderful performance.

Rodger’s and Hammerstein had the guts in the 50’ to include songs like this and Old Man River in their musicals. These songs were very controversial.
Please listen
Here in October 2023 thinking we are living in some alternate universe
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Streisand first put these two songs together on a concert tour she did?
Any idea why I there is no sound on this? I've played others on here, but this one doesn't have sound
