...Harrod, executive director of the regional chapter of what was then called the National Conference of Christians and Jews, now the National Conference of Community and Justice. His hope was that it could help improve race relations in Cincinnati--it was only in 2002 that the Ku Klux Klan stopped its annual mounting of a Christmas tree in the city's main square. The desire for reconciliation is built into the center's DNA. Its focus, says Spencer Crew, its executive director, "is not about finger pointing...

...stupid American.” This attitude is duly reflected in Britian’s Jerry Springer: The Opera—a musical parody of the infamous talk show which lampoons America’s most upstanding citizens, satirizing an incompetent redneck, an aspiring stripper and a Ku Klux Klan member among others...
