On the other-hand, bring it out in the sunshine, where these attitudes can be respectfully confronted. Back in the late '80's the KKK obtained a permit and held a well-publized march in Hillsborough. They were vastly outnumbered by the many, many citizens who turned out to bear peacable witness against the Klan. The Klan members ended up feeling embarrassed in front of their neighbors, and the like has never happened again.

Hillsborough and Orange County did itself proud that day.
