Welcome to Florida .... we LOVE to HATE you here.
It is pretty well known that Florida, specifically Orlando, is the number one tourist destination in the world...... but lost somewhere in the "Come to Florida" advertising campaign and cheap tacky coupon books promising 5 Tshirts for $10 is the fact that Florida is also a haven for hate. Hate groups, that is.
Florida rated NUMBER TWO in the country in the number of hate groups. And I am not even classifying the Republican National Committee as a hate group. Although it is a party based on hate, they are excluded from this.
Seriously I am shocked by this. And a bit shamed. We are less hateful than Mississippi and Alabama. And Wyoming, the Dakotas and wherever else Timothy McVeigh hung out with his cronies.
Yes, Florida has the wonderful Florida Keys where Ernest Hemingway spent many hours writing his classics. We also have 13 branches of the League of the South, a NEo-Confederate hate group.
And we have South Beach with the clubs for those that just have to be seen. And we have the National Association for the Advancement of White People ---- as if white people weren't advancing enough in today's society.
As Disney proclaims "It's a small world after all" and promotes diversity, the KKK proves to be as equally diverse. We have the Imperial Klans of America Kinghts of the Ku Klux Klan, the Southern White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (isn't that name redundant?), the Aryan Nations Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Klan Store, the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and just the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Who would have thought the KKK was so diverse. I will make a mental note to never invite memebrs of the Southern White Knights and the Mississippi White Knights to the same party. That is such a hate faux pas. Ms Manners would be ashamed.
But our hate is so much bigger than the Klans. We have the Council of Conservative Citizens (still not the Republican party, but I swear this is a PAC), the Women of Aryan Unity, the Jewish Defense League, the White Revolution, and the Hated. Technically shouldn't that be the HATERS?
Jacksonville is the most hate filled metro area with seven recognized hate groups. So as I previously did in my previous blog, let me give you the breakdown of living creatures in Jacksonville, Florida.

1) Cows
2) Members of hate groups
3) Human Beings
So the cows still rule Jacksonville.
But all joking aside, I find it a bit distressing that ther are 43 hate groups residing in my state. What fosters so much hate?
I can't believe in 2006, the Klan is still relevant.

It's just fucking sad.
For the record, South Carolina beat us out and it the most hate filled group.

Yeah, really! Haters, man, I'm tellin ya. Seems like all that's left of America these days are little slices of sanity surrounded by ig'nants. Where'd you find that list?
By the way:
Would the html expert you mentioned be Brandon? (I see no "Oz" 'less I've lost it altogether, which is entirely possible.) Speaking of faux pas, not having an accessible profile when the local cultural/music mag has pimped you on its pages - that is a faux pas.
