A sign posted outside a south suburban church is generating a powerful debate over race in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict.
The marquee outside the First Baptist Church of University Park earlier this week read: “It Is Safe To Kill Black People In Amerikkka.”
On Saturday, a jury of six women in Florida acquitted Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Several comments on the church’s Facebook page took issue with the reference to the Ku Klux Klan in the word Amerikkka, with many saying the church’s sign is hateful and divisive and implies that all white Americans are racist.
