Most saw it as an unforced error at a time when Black Republicans feel they're making strides within the party.

The bitter fight between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Byron Donalds over a line about slavery in the state’s revised African American history standards is infuriating several prominent Black conservatives.

            you heard it here folks, the real racism is thinking the republican party is antiblack.

                yes it is. its anti-gay too.

                tis why the republican party has to prop up the few token minorities it has tricked as a shield against criticism, while simultaneously kicking those groups out and not letting them participate.

                lol.

                How many anti-black voting laws has the GOP passed, and how many has the Dem’s passed?

                Literally just look at what the people in this article are complaining about. Are you really saying a Republican agenda in Florida to teach kids the good side of slavery isn’t racist?

        Believe it or not, saying that being part of a group of racists is against the best interests of a black person is not, in fact, racist.
