>i really dont know. Could anyone tell me?
The band's statement:
"It has come to our attention that there is a very
unsettling rumor circulating regarding the name
of our band '311.' We have been told that certain
white supremacist groups use the numbers 311 to
represent the KKK. This is a most unfortunate
coincidence and one that is extremely disturbing
to us. We would like to state for the record that
this is completely at odds with our personal
beliefs. We believe the only people worth hating
are organized haters like the KKK. Anyone
familiar with our lyrics knows how we feel. Our
lyrics make a strong stand against racism and a
strong stand for positivity & unity. The name of
our band originally comes from an Omaha police
citation for indecent exposure. We thought it was
funny at the time. Now our name simply means -
five friends from Omaha making music, music that
stands for peace and unity." Sincerely, 311
