This School year, students from Macolm X Shabazz HS assulted their own basketball coach after a game vs Livingston HS. Both are in New Jersey and these Schools are only 12 miles apart. They could not be more different:\

yeah I went to high school out in Morris County, we played Shabazz once year before I went there in a playoff, we won but they were dirty AF and like East Orange would automatically forfeit if the game could not be moved from friday night to saturday afternoon because if they got back to their place late at night the players had no one to escort them home and would get attacked by gangfags.
East Orange, Shabazz, Weequahic (part of Newark) are all shit holes. we played Weequahic once and during halftime we just kept to ourselves in the one corner of the field and their marching band came down. Their "drill team/color guard" if you could call it that were a bunch of skanky black girls, black as the ace of spades, wearing semi-sheer white leotards. gross.
