The Specials, "Racist Friend" (1983)

Every so often I pull this song out and listen to it, and strengthen my resolve. In the 90s I cut loose some folks because they didn’t approve of me having gay friends or white friends or Jewish friends or whatever their intolerance was. I didn’t regret it; ultimately it meant being able to bring more people together when I did have gatherings without someone having "issues”.

This is my favorite on the subject. Unexpectedly astute lyrics from, of all people, They Might Be Giants:
