NAACP warns African Americans, minority groups to avoid Florida

This is absolutely disgusting! He's doing whatever he can to get media attention. Scum!

For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

This thread almost seems intentionally teed up for tweaking TC Talks' comments about Traverse City to apply to Florida:

My point is that you seem to want Florida to be convenient for you and unless you like how the governor is running the state, you might be happier elsewhere. You can't argue that it's not successful with a balanced budget, growing tax base, and popularity. Complaining won't help much.
OP wants Florida run a certain way? CHECK

The racial and discriminatorily tones in Florida are unacceptable. Period. I couldn't imagine what would happen if he became president.

Please explain?


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

And so you dramatically altered my post. For someone who is convinced covid was a global conspiracy and hoax, you leaving Michigan for Florida is a good idea. It will further your crazy idea that people leave a place when it becomes Democrat. Michigan isn't likely going Red soon.

I didn't "dramatically" alter anything. I simply replaced a city with a state and its applicable forms of government. The only reason you feel it was dramatically altered is because you actually agree with the OP, and as such, your refusal to apply your Traverse City logic to the state of Florida makes you a hypocrite.

While completely off-topic, I've never said Covid was a "global conspiracy" or a "hoax." What I HAVE said, starting almost right from the beginning, was that our society's and government's reaction to Covid was going to cause more long-term damage than was the virus itself - and I stand by that concern and now assessment. I have also said that the Covid "vaccine" ended up not being anywhere near what we were promised or what it was advertised to be, and that it was probably only appropriate for about 20% of the population. You can disagree with my assessments all you want (fair enough), but those assessments don't make me a conspiracy or hoax theorist.

You're wasting your breath.

I was going to ask Taco why Hispanics and blacks both voted for DeSantis in 2022 in higher numbers (percentages) than they vote for Republicans nationally, but that would be wasting my breath.

You've found a group of 5 extremists with signs and a megaphone. Bravo. What's your point?

Hispanics in Florida are mostly Cuban and they are a reliable Republican group. The headline would be them NOT voting for Republicans in higher numbers. I’m not sure if there is a similar element at play among blacks down there or not.

I'm glad organizations are making people aware of the threats Florida presents BiPOC.

So you're admitting you're a hypocrite. Outsiders should butt out of Traverse City politics but complain about Florida's. Got it.

Have you ever asked yourself why specifically people from Cuba tend to vote Republican?

Just as I told Ben Zonia that he shouldn't visit TC if he doesn't like it anymore, BiPOC should shouldn't visit Florida. How is that hypocritical?

Florida is horrible to me, so I travel elsewhere. What is different between us? I have no illusion that complaining is productive.

Because if you read the NAACP's full statement, it comes across as complaining.

What makes you a hypocrite is the list of things that you said about Traverse City that make it a great place to live in your view. A balanced budget, a growing tax base, and a popular destination spot for people unhappy with other places. Florida has a balanced budget. Florida's population is growing (and at 10x the national average), so its tax base is growing. And it is obviously popular, as is DeSantis himself down there who won in 2022 by a significant margin. But you won't acknowledge that all of these things are true about Florida.
