As if my old high school didn't have enough problems
I went to my cousin's house for Xmas eve, and we were talking about school (the public school near where I am, I went there before exiting in the 10th grade), and I just discovered that there were 16 RACE-RELATED FIGHTS THIS MONTH ALONE.

2. Bayville, NJ
The really red part of a blue state

This is not just a bunch of snotty brats, these are skinheads with jackboots we are talking about (literally).

3. How do you know that the fights were "race-related"?
Could you give some more details?

I ask because I have a suspicion that this new, aggressive homophobia that we are seeing from conservatives will soon give way to other forms of bigotry.

4. They tend to be between blacks and whites
I wouldn't be too surprised if there was some homophobia involved, considering the type of area I live in.
