Let
me
                                    tell you how it really
                                      is;
                                    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a racist,
                                    and he is playing to his racist base. That’s
                                    my educated guess, my street sense, and my
                                    gut feeling. Both my spider and bat senses
                                    scream it.
                              Perhaps,
for
                                    purely political reasons, the Miami-Dade
                                      Black Advisory Board
                                    felt compelled to apologize for one of their
                                    members branding the Florida Governor a
                                    “racist.”
                              Well
yeah,
                                    sure, I guess, but, and this is a big Bertha
                                    Butt, my little Nana always said, listen here
                                      sugar foot, “If it walks like a Klansman,
                                      talks like a Klansman, smells, feels and
                                      its words taste like that of a Klansman,
                                      then hell child, it’s a damn Klansman.”
                              But hang on, as I understand it,
                                    DeSantis is merely playing to his political
                                    “base.” Accordingly, the only logical
                                    conclusion is - his “base,” his “people” are
                                    too a Klansman-minded group of individuals
                                    who all share extremely similar racist,
                                    sexist, elitist, and xenophobic opinions and
                                    values.
                              So yes, a significant percentage, a
                                    weighty portion of the American population
                                    that supports him, is too racist, sexist,
                                    elitist, and xenophobic.
                              Those
                                    “isms”
                                      are
as
                                    All-American as Hot Dogs, Coke, and
                                    Corvettes. Apple Pie, Guns, and race riots.
                                    Cocaine, Jazz, and convertible Mustangs.
                              There’s
no
                                    denying it: millions upon millions of
                                    European Americans arrogantly or ignorantly
                                    regard themselves as the only true,
                                    legitimate, authentic
                                      real Americans
                                    and are supporting Ron DeSantis because he,
                                    and they, share the same prejudiced,
                                    intolerant, bigoted, insular, isolationist,
                                    ethnocentric and nationalist viewpoints.
                              These
like-minded
                                    folks are rallying around legislation that
                                    would prohibit
individuals
                                      from making people “feel discomfort,
                                      guilt, anguish, or any other form of
                                      psychological distress on account of his
                                      or her race, color, sex, or national
                                      origin.”
                              Ain’t that a’ bitch?!
                              Recall when DeSantis warned
                                    Floridians not to “monkey this up” by
                                    electing Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum,
                                    the Democratic nominee, who is
                                    African-American.
                              “The
last
                                      thing we need to do is monkey this up by
                                      trying to embrace a socialist agenda with
                                      huge tax increases and bankrupting the
                                      state,” said DeSantis. The quote
                                    followed earlier statements that Gillum was
                                    “an
articulate
                                      spokesman”
                                    for leftist views.
                              When
originally
                                    seeking the Governor’s office, DeSantis
                                    showed up and spoke at rallies organized by
                                    a Neo-Confederate who has said that African
                                    Americans owe their freedom to white people
                                    and that the country’s ‘only serious race
                                    war’ is against whites. And who donated more
                                    than $20,000 to Ron DeSantis and lined up a
                                    speech for him at lord Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
                                    club, calling former President Barack Obama
                                    a “F---- MUSLIM N----” on Twitter.
                              DeSantis
announced
                                    the
                                      Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees
                                      (W.O.K.E.) Act
                                    which gives businesses, employees, children,
                                    and families tools to fight back against
                                    woke indoctrination. It is designed to be
                                    the strongest legislation in the nation and
                                    will take on both corporate
wokeness
                                      and Critical Race
                                      Theory.
                                    The act piles on the crude and illicit
                                    actions Governor DeSantis has already taken
                                    to ban Critical Race Theory and the New
                                      York Times’

                                      in Florida’s

                                    is defined as “an academic area of study
                                    that looks at how racism is embedded in
                                    seemingly color-blind laws and
                                    institutions.”
                              DeSantis,
via
                                    his legislation, prohibits individuals from
                                    making people “feel discomfort, guilt,
                                    anguish, or any other form of psychological
                                    distress on account of his or her race,
                                    color, sex, or national origin.”
                              Ain’t
that
                                    an insulting, belittling, arrogant pompous

we
                                      tell the truth, we shame the devil.
                              If
kids
                                    are not taught about institutional
                                      racism
                                    and the white supremacy it upholds, they
                                    won’t question it later when they are
                                    voters.
                              Can’t

                                    can be best described as BS vs. The
                                      butt-naked stone-cold truth which the whole
                                    wide world agrees upon?
                              Among
the
                                    many pieces of this empire’s decadent story,
                                    White folks don’t want to be told about are
                                    the ghost dances of the
                                    late-nineteenth-century American Indian
                                    spiritual movement. The ghost dance began in
                                    Nevada in 1889 when a Paiute named Wovoka
                                    prophesied the extinction of white people
                                    and the return of the old-time life and
                                    superiority of the Indians.
                              As
their
                                    numbers were being whittled down into a form
                                    of slow genocide,
                                    America’s indigenous folks hoped for the Big
                                    Payback and return to the happy days of
                                    pre-colonialism, and this righteous yearning
                                    scared the White folks of the day to death,
                                    they banned the dances and ….
                              It’s no different from what they’re
                                    doing today.
                              Slaves
were
                                    never to be taught to read; it was a crime
                                    to educate Blacks. Understand, as men like
                                    DeSantis and his millions-strong base
                                    understand, it’s far easier to pimp, exploit
                                    and oppress people who are uneducated,
                                    particularly about who they are, how they
                                    got where they are, and yes, who did this to
                                    them, and how this type of lop-sided society
                                    was crafted and maintained. They, like the
                                    “help,” to remain uneducated and thus
                                    enlightened.
                              Is Florida the heartless heart n’
                                    soulless soul of the new, ever-spreading
                                    21st Confederacy? Yes, it appears so.
                              DeSantis, like Trump, is simply
                                    saying what the GOP Base believes. The
                                    collective goal of this new Confederacy is
                                    to take back “their” America and return it
                                    to yesteryear when Blacks, Brown folks,
                                    immigrants, and women, in general, all knew
                                    and accepted their assigned inferior,
                                    secondary place in the White man’s country.
                              Where do you think DeSantis stands
                                    on a woman’s right to control her own body?
                              Something
wicked
                                      this way comes…
                                    it’s Ron DeSantis and his millions upon
                                    millions of followers!
