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." https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/07/26/florida-alpha-phi-alpha-moves-convention/8461690416956/ I hear Baltimore is nice. |

"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. |

Lol
You can almost hear the collective sign of relief emanating from Orlando hotel employees and management. |

they're ones to talk. Pretty much the most racist group of people I've ever been forced to work with.

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.. |

What are the perceived wrong doings of DeSantis against the black community? Sounds vague, political and cunty

I’ve got friends that are A Phi A. Good group. Not the Omegas or some of the other black frats. Dumb move but they can have it wherever they want it.

Do black fraternity pledges still get branded with a hot iron when they do their initiation ceremony?

Well,
I guess the income lost will have to be made up in higher taxes. |

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. |
