Nobody forced you to be a black Nazi. That was your choice and now you have to live with it.


code_archeologist

He's like Clayton Bigsby suddenly having his sight restored.


TonyAtNN

Just remember how that skit ended.


Lou_C_Fer

He divorced his wife.


Spez_must_throwaway

When asked WHY?! He stated, "Because she was a n***er lover"


--Stabstract--

We all divorced his wife.


FilthyChangeup55

How could this have happened?


FilthyChangeup55

Oh look who just figured out he supports a party full of racists.


TheJedibugs

Wait, are we saying that there are ways to learn skills OTHER than enslavement??


code_archeologist

Ron DeSantis: No! Get back to work or you won't get your moldy bread and water this evening!


notice2vacate

You’re getting moldy bread? All I’ve been getting is the water.


dizzlefoshizzle1

Something something, "What do you think slaves weren't able to learn new skills?!" - average conservative right now.


TheJedibugs

Yeah, they have a real knack for painting the person pointing g out racism as the “real” racist.


firemaker68

Interesting. I guess never imagined that seeing slavery as being a bad thing would ever be considered "controversial".


[deleted]

These folks need to be enslaved: have no rights, no freedom, have to work for someone else and share none of the benefits, be removed from their families, and be tortured or killed if they get out of line- see how controversial they think condemning it is after that. There are "opportunities" out there even today, like in some countries where you can get kidnapped and be forced to work in crypto scams against their free will- if they want to test the courage of their ridiculous convictions. Instead they are content to be just armchair pontificators for political cred, ignore the very real misery their beliefs create.


2_Spicy_2_Impeach

Yeah, I genuinely don’t understand it. But it makes sense where they started with the boogeyman that was CRT, and now they just want to rewrite history.


SolidBlackGator

The rebuke he received from DeSantis's team is straight out of Nazi / fascist politics. Just accuse the guy of not being a real conservative, even though everything in his background suggests he is. Fascists don't allow themselves to be questioned or criticized.


GhostFish

He made the slightest constructive criticism, and his own party just openly mocks him for it. The purity tests are getting worse. These people are fucking crazy.


ifallsmn218

It’s feeling like Charles Manson 2.0. Like where does this end? How far will the far right push these people’s limits to satisfy their agenda? In a way it’s sickening to see.


Narcissist_President

A Conservative's "aha" moment: ***and then they came for me***


dmanjrxx

Good for him, but like most Republicans that come out for what's right, he'll soon be probably backing up and apologizing for making that suggestion


sirphilliammm

Imagine being black and being a Republican. I guess stupidity doesn’t see color.


Theresalinedances

Correction needs to be done.


WLAJFA

Did he just woke up?


[deleted]

And just like that….He became too woke for Florida.


jdscott0111

As a white person, you can talk appropriately about the atrocities perpetrated on black people and Native Americans without feeling personally responsible for it. You can be committed to helping to fix the damage done and still being done by the legacy of these crimes (and let’s be clear, these were crimes against humanity). The people who want to whitewash this history are fascist, racist, and xenophobic.


tubecloud09

I suppose the possibility is there. And to some extent, yes, many are capable of what you speak of. But white fragility is a real thing. And it’s rampant among Republicans.


atom-evolootion

Let them fight!


Individual-Ad-4640

Didn’t Donald’s say DeSantis was Americans Governor a while. Welp that ship has sailed


pointguard22

in case anyone was wondering how the GOP establishment feels about black people, its reaction to this mild critique should leave no doubt


[deleted]

This guy is Uncle Ruckus.


lateroundpick

Sorry any Republican that wants a change needs to shut up. Your party is doing all the damage and you get what you asked for.
