I mean how much longer until the Republican party just comes out and states that racism is one of their offical platforms?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Haven’t they already?
No. They just claim they can’t be racist because they have a lot of (insert affected minority) friends or that they allowed black people on their football team.
It seems like a popular dodge among racists nowadays is to say that racism as a concept is not a thing.
People are saying...
If they did, it'd be the only thing on their platform.
Seriously. In 2020 they literally ran without a platform other than, "Whatever Trump wants, that's what we want."
Just, full on authoritarianism.
It’s been that way since the 1800’s.
Yeah because who wants black kids to feel welcome at Disney World? /s
Serious answer?
Certainly not the frozen head of Walt Disney.
he's a corpsicle? seem he'd have a higher chance of survival as an animated cartoon
DeSantis found the one Black person willing to put up with his endless string of crap.
Glenton Gilzean, the district's new administrator who is African American and a former head of the Central Florida Urban League, called such initiatives “illegal and simply un-American." Gilzean has been a fellow or member at two conservative institutions, the James Madison Institute and the American Enterprise Institute Leadership Network, as well as a DeSantis appointee to the Florida Commission on Ethics.
Yes because surely antagonizing the company that employs the most of your constituents by quite a large margin can only end well.
They're the single largest employer. They don't employ most of his constituents.
That said, Florida relies on tourism to keep the state budget afloat. Disney is a big part of that.
More pandering from a fool. As if this will impact how Disney operates. This guy has no clue what he is doing, ten xing down on a losing strategy. So much for Harvard and Yale, he should get a refund.
He paid good money for his name to be on that piece of paper! No way they’re returning that bribe
Desantis looks like a chimp
A chimp styled Muppet
Florida is a weird place. But DEI is nothing but a huge scam. We have a DEI department where I work and a PHD that they keep on payroll to run these ridiculous trainings. The DEI trainings make a large number Having sat the African american and Latino folks uncomfortable at work and have had to deal with many of them coming to me about it privately in supervisions. Equity is a philosophy that in my personal opinion is not the way the world should work. And this opinion is shared by many. If you want equity go to north Korea.
