In the south, and nearly everywhere else in the nation, too. The Southern Poverty Law Center (ptui!!) shows 24 "hate groups" active in Louisiana as of 2006. That's the same number as New York state, and less than half of the number listed for oh-so-enlightened California. Yep, there are West Koast Klansmen.
As for narrow-minded cretins, I believe the most glaring examples in the Jena affair are named "Jesse" and "Al".
Whoops... I heard that Ray Nagin turned up there too. Better add his name to the narrow-minded cretin list (though I'm not entirely sure Ray *has* a mind, narrow or otherwise).
