What's happening to my friends?
I have quite a few friends whose opinons are creeping me out lately.

One of them, who I've known since we were 9 years old, has turned into a complete racist. He's gone all "White Power", and posted this really reprehensible myspace bulletin, which I will NOT re-post - all I'll tell you is that it ended with something like "If you are proud to be WHITE then pass this on." Interestingly enough... this kid has some distant Native American ancestry.

And I know a lot of people who are involved in lots of creepy anti-choice stuff. One of them is a member of a facebook group called "Abortion doesn't make you un-pregnant, it makes you the mom of a dead baby." Another one of them is a member of 4 or 5 facebook groups like that, and has a shirt that says "Rally for Life - Justice for the Unborn".

I've kind of confronted the racist one, but I think he's ignoring me now because of it. I haven't said anything to the anti-choicers, who are otherwise nice people. Should I?

What should I do, exactly?

1. Send the racist one the song "The Only Good Fascist is a Very Dead Fascist" by Propagandhi

And ask them what the hell their deal is. Maybe consider finding new friends. Shitty option, I know, but something tells me you'll end up distancing yourself from them anyway.

2. That sounds like a real pain.
I have recently found a friend to be anti-choice, which is interesting since I'm very pro. I'm debating on how to handle the anti one myself. Good luck.
