What's the meaning behind the "k" spelling of America? If there is one that is, but I'm reasonably sure there's something that I'm missing.

It's a shorthand for "Amerikkka" which is a pretty common name that black maoists and panthers use to make it clear that the country as a whole is still mired in structural racism of the past.

It was also spelled with one K in the past since that's how Germans spell it and it's a dig at the American state having racial policy that isn't too far off Nazi German policy.
