Criticisms

Anderson California has been well known for harboring ex-Ku Klux Klan members and has been notable recently for hate crimes, such as the recent cross burning in the front lawn of an African American resident's front lawn.[1] The one who originally put up this section, seems to have had a strong bias, as shown here. [2] I've already removed the other parts dealing with drugs and pollution, as it was not sourced at all. This section can not even be reworded. There are no sources for Anderson being a 'well known' place for harboring ex KKK members and while the cross burning is interesting especially in a city this size if the same was done to every single other city in the world who has had a hate crime, what would we end up with?

Actually, the hate crime described was well documented in regional newspapers. It is also discussed on a PBS special called Not In Our Town. Here's the website: http://www.pbs.org/niot/citizens_respond/anderson.html. It seems strange to me that you would not consider PBS a credible source.69.59.203.122 03:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
