Largest Black fraternity among groups to move conventions from Florida over ‘racist’ policies
Fox 13 Tampa ^ | 8/3/25 | Jonee Lewis

TAMPA, Fla. - Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc announced it will move its 2025 convention from Orlando due to what it calls "harmful, racist and insensitive" policies against the Black community.

It joins other Black organizations, like the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) who are relocating its conferences out of the state as well.

Earlier this summer, the NAACP issued a formal travel advisory for Florida saying it’s "hostile" to African-Americans

Well as a white boy pledging a black fraternity, I would be met with this.

Probably not a bad thing...I hear downtown Detroit has vacancies.

While I am sure the venues directly affected are upset, I doubt the general populace gives a damn, might even be happy with this.

🤷‍♂️

When I read “...the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)...” I had to look up to make sure I wasn’t being stung by The Bee.

It’s a pretty small group based on those I attended engineering school with. Not a lot of DEI in weedout engineering classes. As it should be. Me, I don’t like bridges failing, airplanes falling out of the sky, that sort of thing, due to incompetence.

Agreed. Same for my computer science courses. Only two black men made it through to a BS, with most dropping out after CS 101 or CS 102. Same for chicks too. Only one non-Asian chick finished her BS. She was white. As you can imagine, she was quite popular. LOL

I don’t get it, why as a white boy, did you pledge a black fraternity, and what does that thing signify?

It depends on whether the participants are loud, obnoxiously dressed, poor tippers or quiet, well behaved, and beautifully dressed and fair tippers.

Daytona has a black week where all hell breaks out.
Much of the cities businesses close rather than suffer the losses
Carnival cruise line just set up conduct rules cause black violence and unruliness.
Sooo, buh bye.

Well this article starts off with a lie and never bothers to correct it. Then it continues the lie of Florida being racist by listing other groups who have claimed to have cancelled.

No where do they bother to show this racism or explain how it supposedly exists.

I am sure Orlando & Florida will be OK. Orlando has a woke black mayor and is liberal as they come, but we can’t be bothered to mention that, can we?

As a result, the sorority “Obese White Women with Red Hair, Freckles and Hoop Earrings “ just announced they will not come to Florida, also.
