Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, which was founded in 1906 at Cornell University and whose membership includes civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall, announced the convention's relocation from Orlando on Wednesday.


"Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. moves 2025 General Convention from Orlando, Fla., due to Gov. DeSantis' harmful, racist and insensitive policies against the Black community. Please share."

"The board voted unanimously at a meeting in Orlando to enact the new social studies standards, as board members defended their decision.

"If anyone takes the time to actually look at the standards, you can see that everything is covered," Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. said.

"From elementary school where we start talking about those who have been prominent African Americans and as age appropriate, we go into some of the tougher subjects, all the way into the beginnings of the slave trade, Jim Crow laws, civil rights movement, everything that occurred throughout our history," Diaz added."

The florida standard doesn't high-5 blm.

I am sure Japanese Americans will not complain if schools start to talk about the positive benefits of forced internment.

I am sure American Indians will not complain if schools start to talk about the positive benefits of America's treatment of the tribes.

I am sure Jewish Americans will not complain if schools talked about the positive benefits of the Holocaust.

Etc etc..

Fake news. Prince Hall is the oldest Black fraternity. It allows others to join too though so I guess it’s not racially segregated enough.

Isn’t a black fraternity itself racist?

It’s all racist. Racy.
