Hatred on the North Shore


This isn't exactly comforting; that said, the reaction, believe it or not, represents an improvement, exceedingly modest though it may be, as to the role of hate groups here in the Gret Stet and elsewhere.

Oh, to be sure, there's plenty of racism, as anyone who remembers Jena in 2007 can tell you. However, and again, noting that it's just one small step...but a small step in the right direction...some of the more in-your-face out and out hatred of the kind espoused by the Klan is ever so slightly ebbing.

And that's a good thing.
