For next year. . .

Remember May 1st is Beat Up A White Kid Day

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_Up_A_White_Kid_Day

I’m marking my calendar for next year.

From the Wikipedia:

Beat Up a White Kid Day or May Day refers to a custom among some minority children in the US of beating up white children on May 1. The only incident of this resulting in a court case or media attention occurred in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2003. The judge in that case concluded, “based on the evidence I’ve heard, May Day is reality and the evidence was overwhelming that this was an attack based on May Day and that the victim was chosen because she was white,” the attackers explained the attack as being motivated by “May Day” or “beat up a white kid day,” and many readers wrote in to the Cleveland Plain Dealer to report similar experiences.
