In discussions for some time I've said Desantis is a straight up, no filter, white supremacist. He's a true believer.
That won't change. This is one of those times not enough black folks, especially Florida based ones, wants to fight. As a collective we do the 'see how they doing us thing', hoping white liberals feel enough pity to do something on our behalf.
We let things happen. By that I mean we rarely come back with the same or more energy. When we do, sh*t gets done. We came back with the same energy to save Kyrie. The NBA and others saw the number of Black men online, everywhere supporting him and the black NBA players so that and took that as a sign that they had our full support.
The same for a number of murders: Floyd, Arbury, others. It produced results, when it otherwise wouldn't.
Gen Z white folks are the most black supportive white generation ever. Yeah, we don't feel they are enough but factually they are. White racists blame 50 years of black history month and sympathetic black history in schools from 1st grade on. Their favorite form of music is black music. Their icons are black (Tupac, Oprah, Kobe, Jordan), they grew up with a black president, that optic seeing a black man and black family as the most powerful man in the world can't be overstated enough.
So their plan is to remove even telling young white kids about anything that has happened to blacks so its easier to become racist like them later in life. 99.99 percent of blacks have never heard of Critical Race Theory. it was taught in maybe 5 or 6 unis as an elective course. Never in any High Schools. So, racists saw it as an opportunity and co-opted the term to call any talk of black history, including MLK Jr now as CRT. That's the plan. White liberals know this is the plan but you won't hear it on TYT, CNN or MSNBC. And worse yet, you won't hear it from Joy Reid, the Congressional Black Congress or even black voices with a platform in Florida.
These constant, 24-7 battles against is all kinds of ways will never stop. Being anti Black is a religion and they are zealots and many are willing to be martyrs for it. We won't acknowledge this as a group and we don't fight it as a group.
We don't until its almost too late. That's usually the only time we fight things as a collective. It's tiring and emotionally draining to constantly fight against this stuff. And if you do, you will not might, will end up getting criticism and pettiness from the very same Black people you are fighting for. Ask any true to life activist, politician, online influencer...and yes, black forum creators (000000).
The sad thing is that's the norm.
" We believe this xenophobia....we believe this is white nationalism...this is extremism."

THIS IS ANTI-BLACK RACISM AND ANTI-BLACK AMERICANISM.
