The question on everybody's lips.

The Huffington Post is reporting that a Florida man [black] who was trying to stop his wife [white] from divorcing him placed a burning cross in their yard and depicted it as a threat to stay put from the Ku Klux Klan.

"When I saw that cross burning, I was scared to death," she told the Panama City News Herald. "I was terrified ... we all were."

Two days later, Donna said she received a note taped to the front door that was signed "KKK." The note said she was being watched and that she "better not leave that [N-word]," a warning that struck Donna as odd.

"When did the KKK start supporting black and white, interracial marriages," she wondered.
If this story doesn't blow a few gaskets down at the SPLC head shed, I don't know what will.
