There were racial fights going on in Newark when my dad was a kid and Jersey City where my mom was a kid. This is NOTHING NEW. They shut down the high school for nearly a week when my aunt was there due to racial violence and that was in 1970.

In Newark and Irvington, there is bad feeling and occasional brawls between American blacks and West Indians.

Isn't the difference that back then, we were in the middle of the heat of the 'civil rights movement?'

I went to a segregated school my entire 12 years...never had any significant fights or racial problems.
