Talk:Your Racist Friend

flans said, of the song: " The song is about the general social pressure to “get along” and not argue with someone even though they are spouting off some messed up shit. (like especially if it’s a stranger, like especially if its in a public place) To momentarily suppress my values in order to not get into a fight makes me question the consistency of my ethics—and that seems like the definition of hypocritical. But its also something quite familiar as this is a complicated, shitty world. And thus, the song." (source) i think this basically reiterates the RS quote, so it doesn't need to go on the page, but it's an interesting thought. Apollo (colloquia!) 16:33, 17 October 2014 (EDT)
