My flaw/short coming/whatever you want to call it.
I am admitting this in hopes I can fix this in myself to be a better person. I believe I am racists to a group of people. I have friends who are straight and who are gay/lesbian I even have a Transgender friend. I have friends of all racists and nationalities but I have to admit when I see one pairing I do a mental gasp and get surprise.
If a I see a couple where one is person is white and one is African/African-American. I skip a beat before I accept it or am my normal self. The black friend of that couple think I am not racist That it is a subconscious condition that comes from living in America that most people have and I have not acted any differently to them (they are a Gay couple) than the other gay couple I know.
So what can I do to fix this in myself.

The only thing I took away from that was that catmusic has a gay friend.
....and a black friend
....and is homophobic
....and is racist

National Brotherhood Week
Tom Lehrer
Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.
But during national brotherhood week, national brotherhood week,
Lena horne and sheriff clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.
Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's american as apple pie.
But during national brotherhood week, national brotherhood week,
New yorkers love the puerto ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.
Oh, the protestants hate the catholics,
And the catholics hate the protestants,
And the hindus hate the moslems,
And everybody hates the jews.
But during national brotherhood week, national brotherhood week,
It's national everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!
