America's oldest intercollegiate black fraternity will not be returning to Florida for its biennial convention.
Orlando, Florida, was picked to host Alpha Phi Alpha's national convention in 2025 for its 97th gathering. Instead, it will be hosted in Dallas because of the, as the fraternity alleges, "harmful, racist, and insensitive policies against the Black community” from the office of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
“Our intent is to ensure that, where we spend our dollars, we are going to be respected,” Alpha Phi Alpha General President Willis L. Lonzer III said, according to a report. “And people that look like us, who are Black people, Brown people, people of different cultures and ethnicities, need to be respected.”

Who cares?
Hate to say it but that won’t hurt much!
(3) The Legislature acknowledges the fundamental truth that all persons are equal before the law and have inalienable rights. Accordingly, instruction and supporting materials on the topics enumerated in this section must be consistent with the following principles of individual freedom:
(a) No person is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously, solely by virtue of his or her race or sex.
(b) No race is inherently superior to another race.
(c) No person should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, or sex.
(d) Meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are not racist but fundamental to the right to pursue happiness and be rewarded for industry.
(e) A person, by virtue of his or her race or sex, does not bear responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex.
(f) A person should not be instructed that he or she must feel guilt, anguish, or other forms of psychological distress for actions, in which he or she played no part, committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex.
Instructional personnel may facilitate discussions and use curricula to address, in an age-appropriate manner, how the freedoms of persons have been infringed by sexism, slavery, racial oppression, racial segregation, and racial discrimination, including topics relating to the enactment and enforcement of laws resulting in sexism, racial oppression, racial segregation, and racial discrimination, including how recognition of these freedoms have overturned these unjust laws. However, classroom instruction and curriculum may not be used to indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view inconsistent with the principles of this subsection or state academic standards.
Probably the local police and businesses . They don't have to waste money on overtime.
Money saved on police and firefighters plus enhanced tourism without the threat of 'teen' violence.
That’s a relief. Nobody wants the giant mob street parties with big black hippos twerking on car hoods and cars parked in the center of the streets.
Sorry, Dallas! Lol

what you talkin bout willis?
Will this be like moving Black Bike Week out of a given state?
Sounds to me like Florida may have dodged a bullet.
Horrid. Simply Horrid.
Every single place on Earth where blacks are a majority is a violent, backwards shithole.
We’ll talk when Wakanda is real.
At least they moved their gathering to the ‘progressive’ state of Texas, instead of that fascist, racist, right wing Disney World area.
Those boys don’t seem very smart, do they?
(Note to self - figure out where they’re going to be and when, so I can avoid that area while they are here.)
There goes police overtime for Orlando.
If they were REALLY Serious they’d go back to Africa....
LOL. They are moving it to Dallas.
Texas was part of the Confederacy!
Why don’t they go to Chicago?
Or New York?
Unfortunately, these Ns are flooding Europe. Thousands of Sub-Saharan African men are invading Europe per week.
Oh well, at least their not speaking German.
