I think that racism is horrible and do everything in my power to stop it in the small ways that people can. I am going to be a teacher, I am going to be a parent, I can help influence the future generations and teach them that racism is bad. With that said, we can not deny that we have gut reactions to certain things, things that annoy us, I think that the main point of that song is to point out that no one is perfect, no one has the right to get on their high horse and preach at everyone else for being racist when they themselves are a little bit racist too. Just because those feelings exist does not mean that they are to be acted on. Its like when you are running late for a meeting, stuck in traffic and the guy infront of you is talking on his cell phone, playing with the radio and doesn't notice that the light changed and sits through it. You may want to get out of your car and smack him, but do you? NO...we at least I hope not. You sit there and you control yourself. Or if you meet someone new and they seem to be a little weird (think comic book nerd weird or something...or Broadway obsessed theatre geek for those who may meet us) and you are kind of turn off from talking to them...you still give them a chance and then you find out what a great person they are. No one is perfect and you can't deny that everyone IS a little bit racist, but we don't have to and should not act on it.
And yes, bitch away at and about ignorant people and situations that cause racism.
