Our new friend is a racist -- should we dump him?
My husband and he have so much in common -- but his beliefs are pernicious and wrong!
By Cary Tennis [2008-01-03]

  • If you have a racist friend...

    ...Racist Friend

    Jerry Dammers / Dick Cuthell / John Bradbury (THE SPECIALS)

    If you have a racist friend

    Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end

    Be it your sister

    Be it your brother

    Be it your cousin or your, uncle or your lover

    If you have a racist friend

    now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end

    Be it your best friend

    Or any other

    Is it your husband or your father or your mother?

    Tell them to change their views

    Or change their friends

    Now is the time, now is the time, for your friendship to end

    So if you know a racist who thinks he is your friend

    Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end

    Call yourself my friend?

    Now is the time to make up your mind, don't try to pretend

    Be it your sister

    Be it your brother

    Be it your cousin or your uncle or your lover

    So if you are a racist

    Our friendship has got to end

    And if your friends are racists don't pretend to be my friend

    So if you have a racist friend

    Now is the time, now is the time for our friendship to end
