  Our Governor is racist
  
  Yeah see, that's what hit him elected.
context: From the story:
  
  On the first day of Black History Month, Gov. Ron DeSantis was the focus when Miami-Dade County’s Black Affairs Advisory Board convened in downtown Miami Wednesday.  
  “Our governor is racist,” said Stephen Hunter Johnson, a Miami lawyer and one of two dozen volunteer board members. “He is using Black America, and Black Floridians, as a political football.”  
  The board has no formal power in Miami-Dade government but serves as the county’s unofficial sounding board for issues and challenges facing Black residents.  
  Items discussed at Wednesday’s meeting included the use of specialized police units in Miami-Dade similar to the one responsible for the death of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, and what position the board should take on bail reform.  
  With more than a dozen members attending, the February meeting offered a cross section of the mood of Black leaders from Miami-Dade to a pair of controversies sparked by DeSantis as he prepares for a possible presidential run in 2024.  
  The meeting began with a discussion on the DeSantis administration’s blocking of an optional African American Studies high-school course over inclusion of readings on the Black Lives Matter political movement and on the topic of “Black Queer Theory.”  
  Also on the Miami-Dade board’s docket: the governor’s proposal to halt state funding of diversity, equity and inclusion programming at state universities.  
  “If you want to start playing with taking our history away from us, then give us back our tax dollars,” said Phyllis Sloan-Simpkins, a retired Miami-Dade firefighter. “Because our tax dollars are supposed to help educate our children.”

  Yes that pos is a racist.... >
  
  Unfortunately, as long as he has the support of the Cubans, it will be very difficult to dislodge him from his leadership position. >
  
  In their minds, they are- Cubans see themselves as White primarily; Hispanic, Caribbean, Latin, whatever is convenient, but a majority of the First wave of Cuban refugees were Rich, White landowners chased out by Castro. The native population of Cuba was killed by disease and slavery, replaced by African slaves and Spanish settlers. >
  
  Even when they say their family were ‘merely farmers’.. They ate marbled ribeyes when Castro banned purchasing meat. You hit it right on the head with landowners. They sold land there and bought up land over here. No one actually suffering could leave Cuba, even now. My friend’s grandparents were buddy buddy enough with the Castros (sold the family steaks) for them to leave but they have tried for decades to get their cousins to the states. Yet, they still vote republican, I’ll never understand. >
  
  You're allowed to add "piece of shit" when you call anyone racist. In fact, it should be a rule.
  "Our governor is a racist piece of shit." There. That's better. True, too. >
  
  It's maddening that College Board catered to his bullshit and agreed to change the AP African American History course curriculum instead of telling him to pound sand. >
  
  I mean they could have let it be banned but that means the kids if 1/50 states can’t take it and it makes it less valuable over all as kids taking an ap class goes down and lowers the percentage of AP students applying to college reducing their influence >
  
  
  He has spoken at racist conferences. He’s accepted a contribution and would not return it from someone who referred to the former president of the United States as a Muslim n-i-g-g-e-r. When asked to return that money, he said no. He’s using that money to now fund negative ads.
  Now, I’m not calling Mr. Desantis a racist. I’m simply saying the racists believe he’s a racist. - Andrew Gillum >
  
  DeSantis is ten times worse than Trump and would be a disaster for this country if elected POTUS. >
  
  He's quite unpopular outside Texas and as late as last October was losing to VP Harris in a hypothetical 2024 match-up. >
  
  Texas? >
  
  He's a nazi too. >
  
  Not only is he a racist, he’s a homophobe and a bigot as well. And Florida elected him.. >
  
  Twice. >
  
  If only, DeSantis is a fascist. Racism is only a tool of fascism. African- Americans, immigrants, LBGQ or Jews. The goal is to paint minorities as enemies of the state! So the state can appear to be solving problems by persecution minorities. >
  
  
  Our Governor is racist
  
  Yeah see, that's what hit him elected. >
  
  Of course Ron Desantis is Racist! The man is racist as Hell and that is why he is such a hero to Republicans >
  
  So racist that Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville even voted for him >
  
  The Florida Democrats need to get their shit together and run effective campaigns and register voters all year long. They're milquetoast and low-effort, taking demographics for granted. >
  
  You mean running a former republican governor as the democratic candidate would fail after we tried it against our last GOP Governor?! Maybe next time Charlie will win. >
  
  Your success as a GOP politician depends on your ability to antagonize non-white people, the LGBTQ community, and any other perceived enemies.
  Policy never even enters their discussion unless it is aimed at achieving the above outcomes. >
  
  observing from across the big water, DeSantis is a racist and also a fascist - often goes together. >
  
  The GOP is a fascist party. What do you expect from its officials??? >
  
  Give ‘em hell! >
  
  No shit, lol >
  
  Saying the quiet part out loud! >
  
  Yes >
  
  Noooo! C'mon! Ja think?... >
  
  It's true! >
  
  Seems like the Democratic battle cry, if we cannot beat them, call them racist. >
  
  "Now, I’m not calling Mr. Desantis a racist. I’m simply saying the racists believe he’s a racist."
  Andrew Gillum >
  
  In case anybody forgot the 2018 Gubernatorial Debate:
  
  “Mr. DeSantis has spoken. First of all, he’s got neo-Nazis helping him out in this state. He has spoken at racist conferences. He accepted a contribution and would not return it from someone who referred to the former president of the United States as a Muslim n—–. When asked to return that money, he said no. He’s using that money to now fund negative ads. Now, I’m not calling Mr. DeSantis a racist. I’m simply saying the racists believe he’s a racist.”
  
  Gillum made news for his “a hit dog will holler” comment, saying that DeSantis sure did complain a lot about being called racist. >
  
  Black and Desantis is my guy.  Met him in person at a fundraiser.  I want him as president one day. >
  
  This just in, someone from Miami gets news coverage saying someone is a racist for self benefit. Leftist media rejoices and gives credibility to dubiously crafted accusation. 
  It's always easy to tell a leftist lie, does it come with self benefit? If so its almost assuredly untrue or heavily exaggerated. This litmus test has yet to fail. >
  
  It’s not the left telling lies here but you do you. >
  
  Oh c’mon already can we just give racism a rest? I’m not sure it really exists anymore. Some like to keep the idea going and I just don’t get it >
  
  /s? >
  
  It damn well better be... >
