Miami-Dade County’s Black Affairs Advisory Board apologized Friday (Feb. 3) to Gov. Ron DeSantis days after a member called him a racist, explaining that the member’s comment didn’t reflect the views of the entire group.
“Words matter,” Pierre Rutledge, leader of the community advocacy group, said at the press conference, according to the Miami Herald. “As chair, I must start by saying we want to pull that back. There’s nothing wrong with saying ‘We’re sorry.’ That’s not what we intended to say or be depicted by anyone. And that’s not the feeling of this board.”

Haven't seen this apology reported in any of the local Miami media.
Instead, the Miami media goes full throttle on hate for DeSantis.

In watching and listening to portions of the Super Bowl last night, I wondered how much and how long this pervasive black pandering will be required so that anything and everything is not called racist.

"Is there a White Affairs Advisory Board?" Hell no! And you're a racist for even asking such a question.

There is no amount that would ever be enough.
If there was, blacks would have to look in the mirror and take accountability.
They never will, victimhood is too easy.

I wonder how long Hispanics and Asians will put up with black pandering on TV?
