I live in the south, in NC, and once again, a white man with a handgun, yelling racial epithets, used his car to chase a black couple in their car. When arrested, the white man had Klan materials in his car. Now a neo-Nazi group is sending flyers to the "whites" in the area, supporting the white man and blaming nonwhites for "whites becoming poorer". You'll never guess the white man's occupation: he's a retired police officer of 23 years. When did this happen? June 8, 2007. I feel so safe, don't you? This is what I live with, I can't pretend racism doesn't exist, like some people.
How active are the Klan and neo-Nazi's near where you live? Why?
In case you don't know what's going on in your backyard, check out the Southern Poverty Law Center, they monitor hate groups throughout the US: http://www.splcenter.org/index.jsp
