| Episode: | Michael |
Black or White by Michael Jackson is featured in Michael, the eleventh episode of Season Three. It is sung by the New Directions (except Blaine, Sugar and Tina).
This is the last song performed in the episode. New Directions sing it together in the auditorium and all of the Dalton Academy Warblers join in, except for Sebastian, who sits in the audience enviously.
Blaine is absent during this performance because he was slushied earlier in the episode by the Warblers. Sugar and Tina were absent for unknown reasons, but references in the following episodes hint at them being ill.
After the song, Sebastian explains it will take a lot more than a Michael Jackson number to beat the Warblers at Regionals. Santana and Kurt reveal the tape with Sebastian's voice admitting to putting rock salt in the slushie that injured Blaine. The New Directions leave, with Artie hollering "School's out!"

Lyrics
Artie:
Ouh! Ouh!
I took my baby on a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we're one and the same
Rachel:
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle has happened tonight
Hee! Ah!
Rachel and Artie with New Directions:
But, if
You're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
Kurt:
They print my message in the Saturday sun
I had to tell them
I ain't second to none
Mercedes:
And I told about equality
And it's true either
Mercedes and Santana:
You're wrong or you're right
Santana:
Whoo! Ah!
Santana and Artie with New Directions:
But, if
You're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
Artie:
Hee!
Don't bet!
Rachel:
Heehee!
Santana with New Directions:
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
So, when the going gets rough
I ain't scared of your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain't scared of nobody
Girl, when the goin' gets mean
Artie:
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It's a turf war on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides
Of the tale, see, it's not about races
Just places, faces where your blood
Comes from is where your space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not going to spend
My life being a color
Kurt:
Don't tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking
(With Artie: Dirt in my eye)
Rachel and Artie with New Directions:
But, if
You're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
Santana and Artie with New Directions:
I said if
You're thinking of being my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
Mercedes and Artie with New Directions:
I said,
If you're thinking of being my brother
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
Santana:
Yeah yeah yeah!
Rachel:
Whoo!
Black or white!
Artie with New Directions:
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
It's black, it's white, whoo
It's tough for you to get by
(Santana: Yeah yeah yeah!)
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
(Rachel: Black or white!)
It's black, it's white, whoo
It's tough for you to get by
(Santana: C'mon!)
It's black, it's white, whoo
It's black, it's white, whoo
(Santana: Aah)
It's tough for you to get by
It's black, it's white, whoo
It's tough for you to get by
(Artie: Oouh!)
