If Florida elects Andrew Gillum governor, will race relations improve?
Orlando Sun Sentinel ^ | September 27, 2018 | Anthony Man

f Democrat Andrew Gillum defeats Republican Ron DeSantis, Floridians will make history by electing the state’s first black governor.

It’s an exciting prospect for many voters.

“There’s certainly a buzz with our brother, Andrew Gillum, running for governor,” said Anthony Rankine-Palmer, president of the Florida Atlantic University chapter of the nonprofit community service and civic engagement group Progressive Black Men. “People see a familiar face. They see someone who looks like them.”

But one thing that wouldn’t change, most Florida voters believe, is race relations. Three out of four Florida voters in the Quinnipiac University Poll released this week said electing Gillum wouldn’t make race relations better.

Well that didn’t work out with Obama. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome

Something the evil Tribune Corp would never allow.
The truth.
The tribune corp kicked off the Kenyan Muslims career by suing to have his Gop opponents Divorce records unsealed .
The Tribune judge shopped in CA.
This is a truly evil Corp .

Don’t know about race relations, but Gillum’s election would be a boom for moving companies and truck and trailer rentals as there would soon be an exodus of people from Florida

I wasn’t worried about this guy before, but a serious hurricane threatening the panhandle( ultra red) just before the election is not good. The Scott/ Nelson race also.

At this point, I could write the news stories for the left. Not because I think like them. I don’t, I happen to be sane. But because they’re so predictable in their propaganda. Nothing new. Same old failed talking points out rolled out time after time.

If Florida elects this guy, I predict people won’t be moving to Florida anymore. As a matter of fact, they might be leaving.

No. Not if the entire African continent is an example.

Some articles (like this) are posted for the express purpose that we can point and giggle at them.

Race relations? Are you kidding? There is more hatred out there from the Marxist Liberals towards Conservatives than we have issues with race right now.

Blacks and Hispanics are leaving the RAT Socialist Party. Just look at the WalkAway campaign.

Same exact old racist BS that spewed about electing odongo.
And we ALL know what happened to race relations with that POS.
This clown is just a repeat on a lower scale. IF Florida puts that racist POS in the governor’s seat, it will be a HUGE mistake.

It can’t improve when every disagreement is blamed on being a racist.

If Gillum wins, the state will turn into another Colorado. He’s a socialist from top to bottom. All the libs running for governor were also fighting each other over which one is the most anti gun rights.
