NAACP issues travel advisory for Florida...

I mingle with racists, commies, sexists, & religious zealots.

I KNEW we must be going to the same parties!

I must have seen you there. I'm usually the guy wearing a peacock mask and a rubber, full-body skin suit.

I'm the one in a Hawaiian shirt gorging myself on the snacks.

If they are enforced strictly and suddenly, yes.

No

Years ago the work was done by unpaid non-volunteers from Africa.

Not in the USA it wasn’t, we never had non-volunteers from Africa doing such work

You have always had a underclass to exploit, since the beginning to now.

Well if we enforced our immigration laws, farmers would be forced to pay their workers a better wage because legal citizens demand better wages.

As you say, just another way to cheat the system.

Well enforcing our immigration laws will take away at least one way of cheating the system. It may only be a drop; in the bucket, but at least it’s a drop!

Looking at policies that Democrats designed, they're
no friend of black folk. In particular, their welfare system
is designed to keep them down.

You are aware that there are far more white people on welfare than black folk; are you?

Is this funny? Is it sad? Is it both? Perhaps the French word "triste" might be better?

The NAACP has issued a travel advisory for Florida, stating that the state is "openly hostile to African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals."

But this is the naked truth -- Ron DeSantis is invoking a very real war on a multiplicity of the cultures and communities that make up the US (and his state) for the sole purpose of establishing himself as the carrier of the Republican Flag in the 2024 election.

All the gains, all that we've learned about each other, all the ways in which we have tried to come together and appreciate one another -- all of it -- is to be thrown under the bus so that he can be MR. BIG in the US instead of the wispy-haired pumpkin.

Who are you, America? I mean it -- who are you?

IMO the NAACP has lost all credibility and should not be taken seriously any more.

Wow. You must have studied at the DeSantis School of American History.

You never ever had slaves in the good ol USA. And anything to the contrary is just CRT propaganda.

Sure.
It's also designed to keep them down.
But the issue is Democrats having been not
so friendly to black folk for a couple centuries.

And yet, to discuss or debate that would be considered Critical Race Theory.
And since the Republicans are banning the teaching of that in schools, soon nobody will know what you're talking about.

What the hell do you think African slaves were?

Much discussion happens outside of public schools.

You mean how black people just keep popping out kids for tax money and wont get off their lazy asses and get a job? Are those the discussions you have in mind? That's a good chunk of those discussions happening in Indiana.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Some irony there, fella.

I mingle with racists, commies, sexists, & religious zealots.
Why should I deny them my positive influence?

Reminds me of Cracker. His real name is/was (I've nothing of him in many years now) Mike, but the kind if person he is people call him Cracker. He's the one who even gave my brother his nickname of the Gimp, a result of their first time meeting each other which happened when they met as cellmates.

But the confirmation comes from the history books... and who's going to believe a bunch of unAmerican claptrap that the schools don't teach?

I wasn't thinking of that one.

I'm called neither Cracker nor Gimp.

Many of us discover a vast number
of surprising things after school is
long over.

It's just that you brought up welfare as if it's something that mostly applies to black people, so I had to say something.

When I spoke of years ago, I was talking about what was going on in the 1940's and 50's; not slavery.

With so many successfully owned black business in the state of Florida, I find it comical an organization that is supposed to be looking out for the benefit of black people, are claiming it is dangerous for us there.

Florida Leads Nation In Number Of Minority-Owned Businesses

A report by the national law firm Evans Kirby found that Florida ranks third in Black and other minority-owned small businesses.

The "as if" is your mistaken inference.
