The violence of segregation has threaded through too many stories this year.
The arrant racial divides that exploded in Ferguson following Michael Brown's death.

Or #GamerGate, with its hideous online threats to women who dared criticize the male-dominated world of video games. Or the racial and gender politics trickling out of the very white, very male New Republic's media meltdown.
