A group of white people surrounding a black church should send chills down the spine of every person of faith.
Just two years ago, after a white supremacist killed 9 people in Bible study at Mother Emanuel AME in Charleston, there was a string of black church fires across the South. Remember that?
16th Street Baptist was bombed. 4 little girls died.

Tiki torches may look funny. This is no laughing matter.
