💛 Florida Is Openly Hostile to African Americans
As a registered Black voter who has had his Black-held Congressional district gerrymandered out of existence, rest assured when I tell you things aren’t as bad as you’ve heard. They’re WORSE.

I'm somewhat confused: your article briefly mentioned some neo-nazis, gestures towards the broader institutional threats to various groups, then recounts how caring and effective your mother's treatment is. that doesn't sound worse than what I thought about Florida. the former is well known, while the latter just demonstrates that there are good folks in the state too.

There were several things at the top of my mind: the NAACP travel ban, the Nazis out in public, and dropping all that to care for my mother. The piece is a juxtaposition of those who care nothing for others against those whose duty is to care for the well being of others. Both were a bit surprising, the bad and the good. But it sounds like you got the gist of the piece. Thanks for giving the piece your time and commenting.
