A New York Yankee living in the South's biggest fear was realized on the 11pm news last night. The Ku Klux Klan is putting business cards(flyers) on peoples' cars in Titusville,Florida to recruit members. I'm not surprised after reading the Anti-New Yorker rants in the HomeTown News,the birthday celebration for Colonel Titus,the Confederate traitor that the town was named after,Dixie on the Florida flag until recently,Confederates shooting off cannons on a float in the Titusville Christmas Parade(not to mention drug dealers shooting someone in "Crack"(not Cracker) Central a few blocks away), and a young man parading a large Confederate flag from the back of his red truck on Martin Luther King Day at the Publix on Knox McCrae Rd. in Titusville. Now they want a Confederacy license plate.
I cringed when I saw the Confederate flag in my town the day before the inauguration of our first black president(literally an African-American). So I say again what I've said since I moved here: Stop giving voice to prejudice in the HOMETOWN NEWS and on the Web pages of Florida Today(Edit those papers and web sites), stop celebrating Confederate insurrectionists,and call them what they were- Terrorists. Yes it's my town too. I pay $5000 a year in taxes to prove it.
