No more a shithole than Arcadia, FL.

Before I go to that third world shithole, I'll visit BEIRUT.

I pointed out the part of California that the whole world sees. There are small towns everywhere. But somehow you just had to be a bigot and pick on some small Florida towns, like somehow it makes you feel more superior. In places like DeSoto County (which by the way has a rather LARGE LEGAL MEXICAN population (former migrant workers who saved their money and bought farms and cattle ranches) it's not as expensive as larger cities. I guess bashing that place makes you feel superior, especially when you're bashing LEGAL MEXICANS who actually have jobs. We're kinda happy to have them here. Life is easier when the cost of living is lower.

Nazi, goose stepper, those are accurate terms to describe the left wing, not only at this board but in this country. SAME ideology, SAME TACTICS. I've never used the term libtard. I don't think there is such a word. But the liberals here barely have a Florida third grade education amongst them, so it's not like they have any idea what I'm saying. We just put you in your place, because you are BLUE STATE STUPID. Your head is a hat rack.

I know what a syllabus is. When I taught at a community college in Orlando, I had to rewrite several syllabi, so I know the difference. And there is NOTHING in the Florida curriculum that comes anywhere NEAR that lying bee itch, (WHO IS A DIRECT DESCENDANT OF A SLAVE TRADER HER DAMNED SELF.) She is a LIAR and you are an idi0t for believing her.

You pu$$ies can't handle debate. You're only good in safe space circle jerks, where everyone agrees with you. Here there are a few educated people and we all think you left wing goose steppers are uneducated IDI0TS. But feel free to travel to a safe space, YOU PUNK!

Only Kamala the UGANDAN GIANT is spouting that lie.

Actually, THAT IS A LIE. THIS RACIST standing in front of a school door to prevent blacks from entering, was a Democrat. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by THIS REPUBLICAN. Jim Crow laws were written by DEMOCRATS. https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/democrats-jim-crow-a-century-of-racist-history-the-democratic-party-prefers-youd-forget/ What Do We Mean When We Say “Jim Crow?” Before delving further into the topic, it is important to define precisely what we mean by Jim Crow and why it is a distinct form of legal codes in United States history. While Northern and Western cities were by no means integrated, this integration was de facto, not de jure. In many cases, the discrimination in the North was a discrimination of custom and preference, discrimination that could not be removed without a highly intrusive government action ensuring equality of outcome. Northerners and Westerners were not required to discriminate, but nor were they forbidden from doing so. Compare this to the series of laws in the American South known for mandating segregation at everything from public schools to water fountains. No one is entirely sure where the term “Jim Crow” came from, but it’s suspected that it comes from an old minstrel show song and dance routine called “Jump Jim Crow.” Curiously, the first political application of the term “Jim Crow” was applied to the white populist supporters of President Andrew Jackson. The history of the Jim Crow phenomenon we are discussing here goes back to the end of Reconstruction in the United States. The Reconstruction Era Briefly, Reconstruction was the means by which the federal government reasserted control over the Southern states that had previously seceded to form the Confederate States of America. This involved military occupation and the disenfranchisement of the bulk of the white population of the states. The results of the Reconstruction Era were mixed. Ultimately, Reconstruction ended as part of a bargain to put President Rutherford B. Hayes into the White House after the 1876 election. The lasting results of Reconstruction are best enumerated for our purposes as the Reconstruction Amendments: The 13th Amendment abolished involuntary servitude for anyone other than criminals. It was once voted down and passed only through the extensive political maneuvering on behalf of President Abraham Lincoln himself and the approval of dubious Reconstruction state governments in the South. It became law in December 1865. The 14th Amendment includes a number of provisions often thought to be part of the Bill of Rights, such as the Equal Protection Clause and the Due Process Clause, which are, in fact, later innovations. Birthright citizenship’s advocates claim that the Constitutional justification can be found in this sprawling Amendment, which also includes Amendments barring former Confederate officials from office and addresses Confederate war debts. This Amendment became law in July 1868. The 15th Amendment prevents discrimination against voters on the basis of race or skin color. This law was quickly circumvented by a number of laws discriminating against all voters on the basis of income (poll tax) or education (literacy tests). The Southern states eventually figured out how to prevent black citizens from voting while allowing white ones through grandfather clauses. The Reconstruction Amendments were the first amendments to the Constitution passed in almost 60 years, and represented a significant expansion of federal power. Perhaps the most important thing to know about the Reconstruction Amendments is that they were largely ineffective. Ranking public officials of the Confederacy were elected to federal government, blacks were disenfranchised as quickly as they were elected to the Senate, and Jim Crow, an entire system of legal discrimination, was erected to return black Americans to their subservient status. With the exception of citizenship for blacks and an end to involuntary servitude, the substance of the rest of the Amendments were largely discarded. Black Disenfranchisement as a Prologue to Jim Crow The process of black disenfranchisement at the end of the war is important historical context for understanding the rise of Jim Crow. It’s impossible to discuss this period without discussing the role of the Ku Klux Klan and other Democratic Party-allied white supremacist terrorist organizations. You can read more about this in our lengthy and exhaustive history of American militias and paramilitary organizations. The first attempt to roll back the gains made by black Americans, thanks to the Reconstruction Amendments, was a poll tax introduced by Georgia in 1877. However, the legal rollback of voting rights in particular did not really ramp up until the turn of the century, when Republicans ran on joint tickets with the insurgent People’s Party, also known as the Populist Party. This threat to entrenched Democratic Party political power (and all of the patronage that came with it), while certainly related to the racial question, was arguably a bigger motivator than race. In many cases, such as with poll taxes, there were explicit attempts to exclude white voters sympathetic to the Republican cause alongside black voters. The specter of unity between poor blacks and poor whites loomed large. Mississippi drafted a new constitution in 1890, which required payment of a poll tax as well as the passing of a literacy test as qualifications to vote. This passed Constitutional muster in 1898, with Williams vs. Mississippi. Other Southern states quickly drafted new constitutions modelled on that of Mississippi. This was known as “the Mississippi Plan.” By 1908, every Southern state had either drafted a new constitution or passed a suffrage amendment to better craft the state electorate to their liking. In 1903, Giles vs. Harris strengthened federal court support of such laws. Another method of maintaining control was the white primary. In 1923, Texas became the first state to establish primary voting for whites only. This was quickly deemed unconstitutional, so the state simply drafted a new law saying that the Democratic Party could determine its own voters for the primary. The state party quickly moved to exclude all non-white voters, which was entirely legal and Constitutional, because the Democratic Party was a private organization. This caught the eye of some Congressmen. By 1900, there was discussion of stripping Southern states of some of their Congressional representation in accordance with provisions contained within the Reconstruction Amendments. Not only was the “Solid South” a large voting bloc, due to the one-party nature of many Southern elections, but they were also in charge of a goodly number of committee chairs, meaning that any attempt to strip Southern states of seats was probably going to go precisely nowhere. Reliable statistics from the era are few and far between, but historians believe that somewhere between one and five percent of eligible black voters were registered by the late 1930s. Very few of these actually voted in general elections, which were a foregone conclusion. In many states, prior to the first and second Great Migrations, the black population ranged upwards of close to 50 percent. Five border states (Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Maryland) all attempted to pass similar legislation to “the Mississippi Plan,” but failed to do so. Redeemer Governments and the Election of 1876 The disenfranchisement of black Americans in the South was the political precursor for Jim Crow. In addition to legal disenfranchisement, there were also paramilitary actions against both black Americans and Republican voters and candidates. It was not uncommon for Democratic Party-allied paramilitary groups to simply force the Republican candidate or even office holder out of town. Voter fraud was also a tool. As elections became closer, violence against blacks and Republicans increased to keep them away from the polls. These Southern governments are known collectively as the Redeemer governments. They ruled over most of the South from 1870 until 1910. As we discuss in our history of militias in the United States, the white, pro-Democratic Party militias of the South were largely obsolete by the end of the 19th Century – Democratic Party state governments were doing their jobs for them. All of this was facilitated by the Compromise of 1877 or the Corrupt Bargain of 1877, depending on one’s point of view. In exchange for certifying Southern votes for Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes, Hayes agreed to: Remove federal troops from Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana, the final states where they remained. Hayes campaigned on doing this prior to the bargain. The appointment of one or more Southerners to the Hayes Cabinet. This was fulfilled by appointing David M. Key from Tennessee as the Postmaster General. A transcontinental railroad passing through the South, using the Texas and Pacific line. Legislation to industrialize the Southern economy. Northern hands off the South when it came to racial questions. The first two are often emphasized, however, they are probably the least important parts of the compromise. As stated above, Hayes had already planned to withdraw the remaining troops from the South. The cabinet appointment of Postmaster General was certainly a bigger deal than it would be today, when far fewer people rely upon the mail. The post has not even been a cabinet-level position since the 1970s. The next two are arguably beneficial to everyone in the South, black or white, and in any event, were never enacted. It’s also worth noting that the Compromise was seen as a way to avoid a potential new wave of bloodshed. At the time, it was widely feared that American politics were going to go the way of Mexico – meaning military strongmen and state violence would resolve closely contested elections. In this context, the Compromise is rather shrewd as Hayes gave up very little with regard to the first two provisions and never enacted points three and four. The final provision, however, is the one that makes Jim Crow possible. This makes it, historically speaking, perhaps the most significant of the Compromise provisions. The Democratic Party Coup d’Etat in Wilmington, North Carolina The end of Reconstruction and the subsequent disenfranchisement of blacks and poor whites by Southern Democratic state governments were not entirely without resistance. However, this resistance was met with sharp and swift reprisal. For example, in November 1898, when the brother of a Republican candidate tried to collect affidavits from black voters that they were being prevented from voting, he was savagely beaten by cronies of the local Democratic Party leader. Four days of rioting followed, including 13 blacks and at least one white dead and hundreds injured. The same month and year in Wilmington, North Carolina, there was an orgy of violence and an effective coup d’etat against the duly elected Fusionist government (blacks represented by Republicans and whites represented by Populists) of the city. Here the Democratic Party explicitly called themselves “The White Man’s Party,” forcing whites to join political and labor organizations. People were literally marched out of their homes in the middle of the night and forced to sign membership forms under threat of death. Following a speech from former Democratic Party Congressman Alfred Moore Waddle, Red Shirts in attendance left the convention hall and began terrorizing black citizens. The eventual election was rife with fraud. The local black newspaper, The Daily Record, was, along with many others around the state, burned to the ground. Waddell led a group to the Republican mayor of the town, forcing him and the entire city council to resign at gunpoint. The new city council was installed and elected Waddell as mayor. The organizer of the coup, Charles Aycock, became the 50th Governor of North Carolina as a Democrat. Other participants became the first female Senator (Rebecca Felton), Secretary of the Navy (Josephus Daniels), a state Senator and U.S. Congressman (John Bellamy), a state Senator and Governor of North Carolina (Robert Glenn), House Majority Leader and Ways and Means Committee Chair (Claude Kitchin), Congressman and Governor of North Carolina (W.W. Kitchin), another Governor of North Carolina (Cameron Morrison) and a Lieutenant Governor (Francis Winston). The disenfranchisement leading up to Jim Crow went deeper than simply stripping the right to vote. It also included removing black citizens from juries and preventing them from being eligible to run for public office. What Were the Jim Crow Laws? Jim Crow laws, for the most part, are relatively simple. Most states (over 30), including those outside of the South, had laws against interracial marriage, a crime known as miscegenation. The remaining laws against this were overturned by the Supreme Court in 1967, in the Loving v. Virginia case. Some states went further than this, such as Florida, which banned both interracial dating and cohabitation. Schools, restaurants, theaters and cinemas, hotels and train stations were commonly separated by law, but sometimes baseball teams and prisons were segregated by law, as in Georgia. Mississippi criminalized anti-Jim Crow propaganda. North Carolina banned the sharing of books between black and white schools.

Maybe incomes are lower in Florida because it is NOT AS FCKING EXPENSIVE TO LIVE HERE, dumbass. We don't have THIS shit, even in our largest blue cities. And we don't want the idi0ts who voted for this shit to come to Florida. Simple as that.

Jeez! You're ignorant. Thriving economies do not always translate to high incomes. Only high cost of living and high taxes do that. You've obviously never been anywhere in your life. Califagula is a FCKING GHETTO, with mostly super rich and HOMELESS.

Actually, the progress Africans slaves made occurred AFTER they were freed by Lincoln and the Republicans. Black schools opened up and the children of slaves were permitted to be educated. Bear in mind the DEMOCRATS responded with the JIM CROW LAWS, which promoted segregation, but blacks AFTER THE REPUBLICANS ENDED SLAVERY, were able to attend school. Hillsdale College (one of two universities the REFUSE all government money whatsoever because government demanded attendance records based on race, and Hillsdale gave the government the finger) is the FIRST American university to graduate a BLACK FEMALE. Meanwhile. the DEMOCRATS kept blacks at separate water fountains and separate lunch counters, until the REPUBLICANS ended this in the Sixties. It is the DEMOCRATS who supported slavery, then AND NOW.

Right now, the film is outgrossing all the others. We'll all wait while you produce PROOF that people buying tickets aren't attending. Then again, if you're dumb enough to post from Huffing ON A Crack Pipe Post, you'll believe anything. That faggy Indiana Jones farce has crashed and burned. And that lesbianish Barbie will be lucky to earn back the production costs. Oh, and the true story about a TRIUMPH in the war against child trafficking is hardly stupid, UNLESS YOU SUPPORT CHILD TRAFFICKING.

the fact that you equate everyone that disagrees with you to Nazi Germany is comical That is a lie. Once again, I have to continue to 'splain this. (Florida Third Graders usually get this after one or two times, but some people here refuse to learn.) There are some people here who are NATIONAL SOCIALISTS. Same ideology, same tactics as the original Hitler regime. Not everyone who disagrees with me is along those lines, but pretty much EVERY liberal here does the goose step. Just curious.. if FL is such a perfect state.. why does it have 5 of the top 20 lowest counties in terms of per capita personal income as of 2021? Union, Lafayette, Hamilton, Liberty, and Desoto specifically in the top 20. I started to ask for documentation for that bit of shit thrown against the wall, but the counties you mention have a very LOW COST OF LIVING. The amount of personal income (and this is an advanced ECONOMICS101 concept) is in direct proportion to what it will buy. In those counties, one doesn't need to be rich to thrive. To afford a home in Orlando is quite another matter, especially with people from ALL OVER THE WORLD moving there. Miami is a very expensive place to live as well, in terms of housing and the cost of everything else. Also, Florida has a balanced budget with a surplus and there is NO STATE INCOME TAX here. Nobody suggests Florida is a perfect state, but our economy is the best in the country. Our weather is wonderful most of the time. Our schools graduate the smartest kids in the country (which in a country with so many inferior blue states, really isn't saying much) and our leadership is the smartest and sharpest in the country. There are parts of Florida I wouldn't be caught dead in, mostly because they are BLUE areas. But they don't make up the vast majority of this state.

Hey, boys and girls. It's HOT. That usually happens during FCKING SUMMER, you idi0ts. And don't forget the definition of a climatard.

Trying to ATTRIBUTE ANYTHING POSITIVE to slavery is the "SICK LIE," even IF it is infinitesimally true. Unelected Joe wanting all Americans driving electric cars SUPPORTS THIS SLAVERY. This slavery is YOUR SIDE OF THE AISLE, and it is ongoing TODAY. http://assets.change.org/photos/3/nx/qv/jMNxqvrYFWvDMVk-1600x900-noPad.jpg?1509924716 IOW, it is FAKE justification and attempted relief of tremendous GUILT. I don't feel any guilt. I never owns slaves. And no black American today is a slave. And because I'm not BLUE STATE STUPID enough to buy an electric car, I'm not responsible for the SLAVERY OF CHILDREN that you Nazis seem to have no problem with. Florida NEVER SAID JACK FCKING SHIT ABOUT ANY SLAVE "SKILLS." Kamala the Ugandan Giant is a LIAR.

To the modern day NAZIS, anything that disagrees with their goose stepping has to be canceled.

Here's the thing. KAMALA THE UGANDAN GIANT IS A LIAR. NOTHING in Florida's black studies suggests anything about skills learned during slavery. I just posted the FACTS.

Never said that. Stop LYING. Crime is NOT "terrorism" just because you don't like it This is terrorism, you mor0n. THIS is terrorism, you idi0t. Citizens taking the law into their own hands is VIGILANTISM. The ONLY self-defense that is legal is defending YOUR PERSON from direct ATTACK. THESE ANIMALS ARE TAKING THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. And the courts have determined that THIS brave individual committed no crime. YOU HAVE LOST THIS ARGUMENT ONCE AGAIN, IDI0T.

I don't get into children like you do. I'm not a pedophile. You are. And THAT is a sad excuse for a human being. Crawl back under your rock, TROLL.

Huffing on a crack pipe POST? Seriously? What's next? The National Enquirer? The View? Child labor? At age 14, I was a paperboy. I had to get up at the crack of dawn, get the newspapers (and this was in North Carolina where the winters are pretty awful) and had to collect for the subscriptions at NIGHT. No 40 hour work week, no time and a half. This was in the Sixties, when there were plenty of child labor laws on the books. Of course, these days your wonderful and politically correct electric cars are made possible by THIS child labor. If you are equating CHILD TRAFFICKING with child labor, you are clearly missing the point. Frankly, child labor deserves a thread of its own, especially since liberals who are pushing electric cars on us are creating a demand for this CHILD SLAVERY in the Congo. (Remember, Slavery was only outlawed in the United STates, and it took a CIVIL WAR to do that. But THIS thread is about SOUND OF FREEDOM, a movie that exposes a very DARK child sex trafficking industry, and is based on a true story. Maybe you should leave your left wing bigotry at the door and try to focus on the actual subject of this thread. Nobody mentioned queer pride fags, abortion, health care, or child labor. This is about THE SOUND OF FREEDOM and the CHILD TRAFFICKING it exposes.

Only the large blue cities (Miami, Orlando, St. Pete) come close to being shitholes, but they are PARADISE compared to the REAL shitholes: Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, San Fagcisco, Detroit, etc. But Florida schools are NOT teaching that slavery was anything positive. Kamala the Ugandan Giant is LYING through her teeth on that one. I posted a credible link in another thread that EXPOSES THE LIE. But please keep thinking that Florida is a shithole. If you live in a blue state, PLEASE tell every welfare state scumbag BLUE STATE IDI0T you know that Florida is a shithole and that they should not move here. We've got plenty of uneducated scumbags on the left and we don't need any more.

I never said you condoned it. I responded to your statement about crime occurring in small towns. Nobody is disputing that. And then I showed the REAL crime of blue cities, the shit which would NOT be permitted in small towns. I think a hidden message of the song (one which is not in the lyrics) is the fact that only the super rich and the low class criminal element are attracted to large cities. Blue cities have the largest WELFARE ghettos. They have the most GANGS. And gang activity as well as mass shoplifting is what caused a Walmart to pull a store out of Chicago. NONE of that shit is happening in small towns, probably because the middle class populations of small towns are a more civilized sector of humanity and they wouldn't think of trying such shit. Also, the LAST place the city scumbags want to be is in little towns like Kennesaw, Georgia or Winter Haven, Florida, were vast numbers of the population are armed. It's easier to prey on the helpless in larger cities. Yes, there are crimes in small towns because welfare exists EVERYWHERE in this country and it breeds the scumbags. But small towns do not put up with crime the way large cities do. You won't see a SINGLE small town overturning the practice of cash bail for criminals and court dates.

Maybe we're wrong about you. If you have a problem with illegal immigration, just say so. And since illegals bring CHILD PROSTITUTION to this country, being opposed to that practice would mean being opposed to child trafficking. Right now, the country with the LARGEST child trafficking stats in the world IS THE UNITED STATES. No one is saying illegal alien animals are the ONLY traffickers. But had the wall been erected, a LOT of children might have slept in their own homes and a few THOUSAND people might not have died from FENTANYL ingestion. Depends on where you stand on this. Standing on the side of the rule of law means standing against child trafficking. It doesn't get any simpler than that.
