The words "Ku Klux Klan" scrolled across the bottom of a jumbo video screen during a graduation ceremony for a high school once plagued by violence that might have been racially motivated.
"I was sort of in shock," said Dino Rhoades, who saw the words during the June 13 Centennial High School ceremony at the Thomas & Mack Center. "I was wondering why anyone would write that in the middle of graduation."
Police and officials of Captions Unlimited, the company that supplied a stenographer to transcribe spoken commencement remarks, were investigating.
Lauren Kohut-Rost of the Clark County School District called the incident "appalling."
Captions Unlimited of Reno has a contract with the school district to provide captioning services at 27 commencement ceremonies. Shawn McCusker, the company's office manager, would not identify the employee who worked at the Centennial commencement but said a stenographer's machine connected to a computer software program might have triggered a word from a dictionary file.
Centennial was the school attended by several teenagers who used the moniker "311 Boyz" and were prosecuted for several violent attacks in 2003, including a rock attack that left a teenager permanently disfigured.
Police said "311" referred to three repetitions of the 11th letter of the alphabet, or KKK. But they said it was not clear the gang's crimes were racially motivated.
but at the same time, this doesn't surprise me. some people will never get it. and why don't they just go to Europe where many areas are ALL white since they're determined to have a pure white country.
because this country, given all the immigrants will never be what their dream is. they have to get past their own government first. and I'm pretty sure law enforcement is ready for these knuckleheads!

The truth shall make you free. Well F that! Pay me!
Whats really funny to me is the part where they say that the name of the group stands for KKK but its unclear if their crimes where racially motivated. Exactly what else would motivate a group called KKK?
NEVER EVER make someone or anything a priority when you are only an option.
Life will only be what you make it. Make it hard you get hard. Make it soft and you gets nowhere.

Vote Michelle Obama for First Lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's crazy. ain't no other way to explain hate based groups. oh I'm sorry, they're probably a kinder, gentler klan. they make appointments before burning a cross on your lawn, that way the fire department can already be there. that's crazy!

When it comes to certain races, it amazes me how some things are quickly confused. But for others, like Mel Gibson case, the person is publicly hung out to dry until they are reduced to nothing. Even if it's a misunderstanding.
Notice the Romney tar baby comment didn't receive 1/10th of the media attention as the Mel Gibson anti-semitic comments while drunk.
