GUEST,Sheree	I'm Rubber . You're Glue: Children's Rhymes (262* d)	RE: I'm Rubber. You're Glue: Children's Rhymes	04 Oct 06
I grew up in Indianapolis, In. and I'm looking for the origin of a rhyme or saying from my youth in the 70s: If your Black, get back If your Brown, stick around If your White, you all right If your Yellow, you mellow If your red, you're dead My Professor recited this rhyme in class, causing me to remember it. She is from Gary, In. It has since become a topic within a paper I'm writing. Have you received any other threads from other regions about this one? I'm trying to find out if it was commonly used in African American communities throughout the US. Thank you and I've truly enjoyed the rhyming flashback! Wishing you much success.....Sheree
