http://www.theroot.com/articles/culture/2014/12/_3_black_churches_in_florida_vandalized_with_kkk_graffiti.htmlThe FBI is investigating hate crimes in a rural Florida county where three predominately black churches were recently defaced with racist graffiti scrawl, according to International Business Times, which cites a report at the Tallahassee Democrat.
The latest case was discovered Wednesday when members of Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church in Crawfordville in Wakulla County when members arrived for choir practice to find "KKK" spray-painted on the side of their church, the Democrat reports.
"The whole community is in shock right now that we still have these things occurring," Wakulla County NAACP Organizing Committee President Anginita Rosier told the paper.
The first case was discovered last Sunday when members discovered signs for the New Bridge Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Crawfordville was spray-painted with KKK, the report says. A second church, Pilgrim Rest P.B. Church, was also vandalized.

(827 posts)I can attest to the rampant racism. My family is from Wakulla and I quit attending family events because I got sick of hearing them use the N word. (I confronted them to no avail.)
Sadly, my kinfolk are not unusual.
