Curious if this is going on elsewhere...

A friend's daughter was accosted and grabbed by an African American boy, apparently feeling emboldened by Obama's victory.

Anyone else hearing of this sort of behavior?

My own daughter heard some dumb comments, but nothing aggressive. Just stupid stereotyped assumptions.

The hell o.O

No, I haven't heard anything else like that going on. I've heard lots of vitriol, particularly directed at myself from my family, but nothing racially motivated one way or the other.

It was the black guys at school, when I was growing up, that protected me, the sheltered country kid in a city school. Maybe times have changed :(

Hearing or reading of this sort of thing? Unfortunately, yes.

Just go read Stupid Free Drama. They link to all the overreacting there. And ye gods, there's been A LOT.

I recall the Black Panthers at a polling place in Pa.A friend sent me that yesterday.
No....I haven't heard much about accosting- but then.... My girls go to a mostly Caucasian school.
