But just let me just disect the meaning of 311 for you: 311, 3 stands for three letters, those three letters are all the same. These three letters are all the "11th" letter in the alphabet.
These letters are "K" so when you put this all together you get KKK or 311.
It's common knowledge.
....good band; Bad name.

6. How did the name "311" come about for the band?
311 is an Omaha police code for indecent exposure. One rainy day, P-Nut and some friends went skinny dipping in a public pool. They were apprehended by police. One of P-Nut's friends (Jim Watson) was arrested, cuffed (naked) and taken home to his parents. He was issued a citation for a code 311 (indecent exposure). We thought this was funny, so we took it as our band name. After the humor of the name wore off - we still kept it because we liked that it was just abstract and that it did not define us in anyway. The name did not describe our sound or our politics, it just let the music speak for itself. Since most interviewers always ask us "What does 311 mean?", we have come up with lots of different answers over the years. Some include.... Nick - "five friends making music", Tim - "a number dictated to me by a higher intelligence", P-Nut - "knowing a little numerology and studying a little magic, which I do; in some factions, three is man and 11 is magic. So 311 is like male magic."
-------------------------------------------------------------
7. Even though you have made it clear that 311 does NOT stand for KKK, can you explain the 311/KKK rumor?
In 1997 there was a rumor going around that the name 311 stood for KKK because K is the 11th letter of the alphabet (3K). As a result, some high schools, including Westside High School, banned students from wearing 311 t-shirts. We issued the following 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 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 and 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."
A quote from the song "Silver" that speaks out against racism -
"Of the racist institutions, simple minds belong, not happy being human, no wish to get along - little people need exclusions, sucker groups to throng - it makes them feel special, it makes them feel strong. Now I got a click but it's more like a family, not an ethnic trip, more like an ethic see - I write the rhyme today, tell it to you later - whether were comin' in wack or what - it's a waste to be a hater."
